Thanks,

Hypercyclic looks interesting, but I couldn't get anything out of it.
What I'm thinking is not along the lines of any of those. But some
interesting ones there I was not aware of. Sooperlooper is one I have
used but certainly not mastered.
Just one or two questions as there's no
response to this from the three
lists I've sent it to. I'm just being impatient, but not critical of
the lack of response, and seeking some feedback about similar existing
systems if any (which is something I'd not put as much consideration
into when I originally posted this).
Funny thing: My next article for LJ is going to be about arpeggiators
and performance loopers. Here's the list for review so far:
SooperLooper - http://essej.net/sooperlooper/
Kluppe - http://kluppe.klingt.org/
FreeWheeling - http://freewheeling.sourceforge.net/
LoopDub - http://loopdub.sourceforge.net/
QMidiArp - http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/
QMidiArp commands -

Hypercyclic - http://www.mucoder.net/hypercyclic/ I plan to add your app to the list, if you don't
mind.
I'm not sure it's suitable. It's only a BASH script at the moment, and
a long long way off becoming an app. But try the script, and you be the
judge of whether you add it to the list. The script is more of a toy,
but I'd like to develop the 'concept' into an application - which
involves delving into areas which are new to me as a developer.
Anyone know of other similar apps for Linux ?
Is this the type of thing which Pure Data and
other graphical/audio
programming tools can do fairly readily? PD is something I've never
used and so am not aware of what can be or has been done with it. Are
there implementations of this type of thing in PD etc?
Umm, actually I think there's nothing that can't be done with Pd. ;)
Frank Barknecht can say for sure if it's possible. Would creating
an standalone app in C/C++ therefor be a waste of time?
I've several ideas about what such an app would look like, and what
further functionality could be developed using this concept (ie scales,
split windows, choords, patterns, etc).
To me this seems like a good idea for a sequencer/arpeggiator with a
(very?0 different approach and I still think it has potential. Prove me
wrong if you will.
A standalone app with GUI would be a Good Thing, IMO.
I haven't tested your script yet, James, but it is in the queue. :) Best,
