Thanks everyone for all the help on my architecture
questions. It
seems like a lot of the best practise functionality has
tools/components for it already in Jack. I *was* planning on using
rtaudio in order to be cross platform, but if it's a lot easier to get
things done in Jack, i could live with being limited to linux and OS
X.
Jack MIDI should (at least in theory) be portable to any platform where
Jack runs.
Just wondered if I could poll opinions, for a real time step sequencer
meant to do super tight timing and by syncable with other apps, is
Jack going to be a lot easier to work with? Should I just lay into the
jack tutorials?
Definitely yes. Dramatically easier, and (AFAIK) the *only* API that
will give you jitter-free sample accurate MIDI between applications.
