kraftf,
I finally got a handle on this by changing my "frame" of reference. Instead of basing things on time I started using frames and now have a much more reliable and stable tool. I did download Ambivalent earlier and was impressed by the template and it did give me an idea or two on how to implement some things. I'm polishing up my app and finding little things that need to be changed as I use the app. I plan on releasing it sometime later this month. I'd also still like to get some sort of loadable presets working strictly on the iPad. I have developed a way to pack and unpack my arrays into a single array which I then save into 16 slots and can save that back to the Mac but that wish I could save on the iPad. This is supposed to be a mobile solution to carrying a mixing board and a computer around which is just not feasible.
I'm sure as Lemur evolves more features will be available but for the time being a great deal of what I wanted to accomplish I now have functioning.
Thanks,
joeb
