Re: [LAU] [seq24-users] A Project To Upgrade seq24

Oliver, Hey, I use Seq24 on Linux and I would like to mention there is one thing that would make a huge difference. Seq24 does not indentify itself very well when when trying to route inputs and outputs via Patchage or other similar GUIs like Catia. I know it can be done because other programs like Ardour get it right. Everytime I use Seq24 I have tobplay around for a while guessing how to connect plugins etc.. To see what I mean, on a Linux OS you could open Patchage, Ardour, Seq24, and a synth such as amSynth. Ardour obviously identifies itself and each line in or out is well identified. However, the name "Seq24" is nowhere to be found. I think it says "throughput-0" or something not obvious or intuitive. Good luck with your project!

Below is an excerpt from my project proposal - the list of features I would like to implement - [quote] << Basic (simple changes that should be quick to address) >> - Swap default on midi autoconnect to second value (add to config file) - Song / loop mode switch in main UI - Recent files list - Move config file to .config folder in /home - Label keys correctly on loops past bank 1 << Medium (bug fixes, smaller new features) >> - Don't take scene change inputs when renaming loops - With dual screens, remember window placement - Darken Song mode (overall dark theme like Ardour?) - Fix glitch with overlaps in loops - Session manager fixes - Toggle loops in song mode - Click time bar to position transport - Draw and re-position snap in song mode should behave identically - Add one shot loops - Decrease size of grid in song mode - Add name of scene to the side when in song view - Add autosave function - Midi send if halfway through note (can be enabled / disabled in preferences) - Draw whole notes instead of cutting off early in song mode loops - Add configurable defaults for note length/ grid snap - Add note stop/panic button - Loop colouring - Fix bug where certain slots cannot contain loops << Challenging (significant new features) >> - Add Box select in song editor (REAPER style) - Add redo in song mode - Add Record in song mode - Allow splitting of song loops at mouse pointer - Zoom in song mode - Window title should just have the song name - Fix jack sync bug/reset button - Relative velocity altering (REAPER style) - Add a double / half timing switch for live performance Where I note “REAPER style”, I plan to source inspiration from the REAPER audio workstation I use under Windows (http://reaper.fm/). The “Ardour” I mention is a Linux audio workstation, and probably the most significant audio project on Linux (http://ardour.org/). [end quote] What do you all think? It'll also be great to have a few people test it during development. This project will also be open source, and remain faithful to the ideals of the original project. If you have any feedback on my list of changes or any other suggestions, please do get in touch!
