This brings up some thoughts I've been having
for years now: A really
simple, yet somewhat useful and educational music toy. An integrated
synth/sampler/sequencer, possibly with audio recording facilities
down the road... Sort of like a tracker (Amiga MOD style), but with a
more visual GUI. Probably some sort of piano roll. A bunch of nice
sounds (I'm thinking IFFT synthesis) with some pre-wired intuitive
timre controls. Maybe a library of drum patterns... Preferably SDL
based and portable to all sorts of computers and devices.
In short: Tux Paint for music! :-)
Sounds fun.
Is there something like this already out there?
Can't think of anything right now.
Any interest in this sort of stuff?
Sure!
Ideas?
Well, since you're thinking SDL, you should consider using a gamepad
as the primary input device. I understand it is a somewhat popular
interface for kids these days.
