AW: Real-time "Beat Splitter" ?

["Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

It works in a FireworX - and I'm almost sure it would work in an Orville or
KSP8.

> (i.e. 4/4 meter)
> - First, you sync the "Beat Splitter" with the music (tap, 
> beat detect, midi sync...)
> - You have 16 buttons like a step sequencer for 16 beats
> - You can route each beat separately to various effect routings, i.e.
>    - route beat 1/5/9/13 to FX Send 1 to modulate the bass drum
>    - route beat 3/7/11/15 to FX Send 2 to boost volume level 
> (shift rhythmic center)
>    - mute some beats completely for percussive effect
> 
> And all this would work in real-time while the music is 
> playing (or maybe with 1 bar delay).
> The DJ could play around with effects, mute some beats for
