Hi, BoxySeq is still very far away from suitable for end users, but I've decided to post an update here to let people know that I'm still working on it :-) "The classification of what BoxySeq is, resides somewhere between sequencer and arpeggiator. The core concept of BoxySeq is to use a window-manager-like window-placement-algorithm to generate pitch and velocity data as it sequences events in real time (via the JACK Audio Connection Kit’s MIDI API)." More details of how it (should) work(s): http://github.com/jwm-art-net/BoxySeq/wiki My latest demo with BoxySeq connected to Yoshimi and recorded in mhWaveEdit http://jwm-art.net/art/audio/boxyseq_demo_28_09_2010.ogg (the demo utilizes a simple pattern which feeds into 8 boundary boxes. i move the boundaries around, switching them to blocking mode and back to play mode for various melodic arpeggiated effects etc). Since the last time I posted to LAD/LAU I've increased some usability features: Improved boundary movement/resize code. Added zoom functionaility Added scrollbars. Added keyboard shortcuts. (select a boundary by hovering mouse over it) left,right,up,down  move selected boundary 1 unit in that direction b, B - make the boundary turn all events into Blocks (ie events which don't emit midi messages but are still placed) i, I - make the boundary Ignore all events. p, P - make the boundary Play all events as normal               _ -    - bring the boundary closer to the front of the boundary list\___slightly confusing I know +    - move the boundary further toward the end of the list      _/ that's about it - but it feels like I've done a whole lot more. the next step is to get one of the most fundamental features of BoxySeq working, and that is to allow the user to create static block boxes (these can be placed anywhere in the grid and prevent a boundary placing any events in that location). Unfortunately it's not quite as straightforward as it sounds. Cheers, James. -- _ : http://jwm-art.net/ -audio/image/text/code
