Thanks for suggesting Gneutronica :-) It provides useful answers to
some of my needs.
If I had to make one main adjustment to my personal preferences, it
would be in the way that the pattern is visually rendered : while your
way of indicating note velocity (according to its vertical position on
a grid) makes it efficient and precise to set, I find it is not easy
to visualize the whole rhythm pattern at a glance. Not so easy as
colouring the block in a progressive shade of black&white would make
it, IMHO.
Well, maybe one gets used to it after working on the editor ... I will
install Gneutronica and make a more insightful feedback :-)

Hello.
I write hoping that some nice LADs might enlighten me ?
I've been feeling a recent itch to write a simple step-sequencer,
which outputs MIDI messages to the ALSA seq ; it is intended to drive
a drum machine. My ideal app is provided with a graphical UI which
includes HUGE buttons (to give you an idea, the GUI in FL Studio comes
to mind).
It may seem silly at this point, but I could not find an existing app
which exactly suits me.
But anyway, I think it will be a piece of fun trying to write
something myself...
You might take a look at gneutronica, the result of me
scratching a similar itch.
http://gneutronica.sourceforge.net
It's surely not exactly what you're after, but
if you had in mind C, gnome based UI, alsa sequencer
interface (though, maybe a somewhat naive implementation,
as I was just learning all that stuff as I went) it might
be something worth looking at as an example, and there
might even be some code you could grab from it. It doesn't
talk to JACK... someday I might get around to figurnig out
how to do that, but it's not in there now.
I shamefully admit being no good at C/C++
programming, but I could
write some GUI code in Python/Java, which would communicate with the
sequencer engine, over OSC for example.
Oh, well... maybe gneutronica's not what you're looking for then.
