It does, thanks man. Metering is definitely something I need to talk
with Jamie about. In theory, OSARA can do multi presses, it's already
being used to read position information, but I can't honestly say that
I'm a huge fan of the concept personally. Then again, as things stand,
the keymap is getting to be quite a mind-boggler, so maybe I'll have
to suck it up.
