Gotcha, thanks.

Hmm. So, no GTK, no widget sets, just vector drawing primitives.  Tight and efficient, but no text boxes either, then, unless someone wants to try to port the thing to GTK/GNOME or whatever.

I've been wanting to play around with this-- our singer would get a kick out of sounding like T-Pain for a song or two--, and MIDI CC's would be my preferred way to control it anyway. Is that on your roadmap for it?
