Why wouldn't you be able to write music with Live without 'beats' with 
it?  Do you mean that the software forces you to stick to a single time 
signature/tempo through the whole piece?

I was trying to find people who reverse engineer and hack software like 
Ableton Live and Propellerheads' Reason, yet I seem to find nothing.  I 
like the idea of taking a piece of software that appears as a 'black 
box' beyond its intended usage.

Maybe people here have experience doing this?  Either that or I'm going 
to have to open their binaries up in a hex editor and poke around until 
I can break things in an interesting way!
