yeah. for me the show-stopper is the lack of a (good) pattern sequencer
and arbitrary pattern lenghts as well as unlimited f/x rows.

sure. But keep in mind that the whole app is rather radical
conceptually, although you can sequence similarily to the usual DAW
concepts.
I am currently writing something comparable for
my master-thesis.
That sounds very promising. I wish it was December already :-) Are you
going to make announcements here, when there's something for us to try
out? If you're interested others might fell like
working on the code
base at some point, but I don't know if you plan to release it under GPL
or similar...
The whole codebase is geared towards extendability for new features, so
that other ppl can add more sophisticated functionality later on (new
datatypes that can be sequenced, different editing-methods, other synths
and whatnot). The src is already GPL licensed. A public release will
need some polishing of the code though due to the short time-frame I am
working in which forces me to sacrifice some code-quality. The major
stopper for many devs will be the fact that I am developing using JAVA
(and a little of C for clocking, etc). For a community project this
choice makes sense though (excellent out-of-the-box dev tools, clarity
of code, easy cross-platform development...).
As a side note, keep an eye on the awesome
Renoise, since they are
adding more and more live-features (midi-control/learning for
device-control (fx/synth) etc is already quite good); patterns can be
triggered live but currently not via midi.
I'm using renoise as my main DAW these days. Not that many things are
missing for it to have the basic functionality for live performance,
triggering patterns from midi and associated loops being the main things
missing AFAICS.
