hi fellow linuxicians !
Is there any sequencer out there, that is able to control abstract musical
paramenters (simply numbers, so to speak :) for synth-systems like pd,
beast etc... there may be some fine midi sequencer, but sometimes note-on
/offs on a
32-grid just ain't enough to control something like grain-loop machine, or
whatever....
I'm having something in mind, what could be something like a OSC(open sound
control) sequencer...with programmable event/signal templates like /start
or /stop ... and nifty curve-based drawing tools, like those found in
sequencer with decent automation-handling (eg. logic,protools,...)
I'm just wondering if there's anything like that out there
or maybe a fitting (sequencer) develompent-library..
cheers !

Ha! Good Luck!
Seriously though, the two (IMO) most active Linux sequencer projects are Muse
and Rosegarden, and they are at the moment both locked into MIDI.
Probably, since you're already using pd, you might try to make use of
whatever the sequencer object in pd is (it's name escapes my at the moment -
I think it's "xeq"). My apologies if you already know about this.
Another approach would be the Common Music / Common Music Notation / Common
Lisp Music suite. CM is just begging for a nice portable front-end, and is
most certainly open-ended about the type of music events it deals with.
Hope this helps!
