Honestly, there is a wealth on musical tools that do exactly that. I am not sure that shouldbe the playfield for a "mite".

Oh yeah...I have many of these already, dedicated hardware and also apps for my Android tablet. I could even create something in a few hours, using RFO Basic on Android.

But I'm inspired by other PicoMite capabilities. One would think that everything of any useful purpose would already exist in the market....but it doesn't  

Solo performances are becoming more and more popular due to cost and floor-space savings but I have identified areas where a bit more automation would be welcome.

The backing tracks that I use; the instruments are all on separate tracks. I eliminate most of them because I feel like an idiot when I only have a guitar and a full orchestra comes blaring out of the speakers  

These tracks are eventually mixed-down to a single MP3 which is OK but the venue can have an influence on the sound. I would like to be able to set the levels of each instrument to suit the acoustics of the venue. A device has recently hit the market but it's super-expensive and lacks capabilities that my version would have.

Darned PicoMite is giving me too many ideas
