GURU 2 already does this. Each engine responds to the MIDI channel that corresponds with its number (i.e. Engine 1 is MIDI channel 1, Engine 5 is MIDI channel 5) right out of the box. You should be able to target your sequencer at GURU channel
n and trigger the samples for that channel - I do it all the time.
The way I use GURU within Pro Tools is to sequence only the scene changes, actually, like your proposed editor. It would be pretty cool to have that functionality within the tool so that one could use it like a standalone drum machine. I really enjoy the performance flexibility that GURU has with the existing instantaneous scene changes, though. You can come up with some pretty incredible, complex, repeatable breaks by having a few very different scenes and triggering them part-way through the pattern (and the previously mentioned polyrhythmic capabilities are so cool it hurts).
