[LAU] controllerism on linux

[Louigi Verona]

"The real work is in collecting and organizing the music, and organizing
your controller's workflow to make performance smooth and interesting, as
Moldover has done."

I wish that was true, but I understand what Renato says about diving into
technical details and spending more time programming or configuring things
rather than working on music. Organizing is important, but when Sooperlooper
simply does not display what loop is being played and you need around 20
loops at the very least when 4 already take up the whole screen -
Sooperlooper's ability to be controllerism software, which requires clarity
of interface and quick workflow, becomes too theoretical.

I absolutely do not want to say that Linux software is not capable of
providing controllerism in question, but at the moment - let's say, it is
not trivial. And for a musician who is not a programmer - basically, close
to impossible.

I would love to be proven wrong, because then I would use this solution on
Linux myself. But at the moment all discussions along the lines of "You
could just as easily do some controllerism stuff with a hacked Novation of
your own, or an Arduino, or a Monome, and just about any looper" feel like
the person who is saying it did not really try. Especially, the word
"easily" grates on the ears.
