There's also no existing system that lets you input musical notes in any faster way. One word: Keyboard. This is one thing that I really love about soundtrackers (e.g. renoise[1]). You just type in your notes while seamlessly tabbing between different tracks/instruments. This makes experimentation faster and more pleasant than any other method I've come across. It is sad that clumsy point-and-click interfaces are still the norm in most music software. Dragging around little rectangles on a grid is horrible.
