[LAA] droguedrums 1.0 - A text file based drum sequencer

by Sebastian Stark

I would like to introduce droguedrums, a text file based drum sequencer, to the public. It reads a definition of drum sets, parts and sequences from a text file and plays it back as midi. Patterns can be produced by hand or algorithmically. Droguedrums runs on Linux and Mac OS X, and it is free and BSD licensed software. Go is used as the programming language. Currently the only usable output library is portmidi, but this is an early release and support for jack is planned.
