Mojos which allows us to completely emulate a tape workflow. The only
thing (besides the price of the decks :/) is that you wouldn't be able to
offload everything to LTOs like Bouke would because you'll need each tape
for uprez/recapture. The upside is that everything happens in realtime and
you save a ton of space for uprezzes since it only captures exactly what's
in your sequences (like tape).
