[snip, regarding non-sequencer and non-daw...]
Wise man...
There was an irc rumor which says it has been
silent around the app for
6 months...
I have mailed the author about this... (waiting for reply) I only do
this when I think an app is really promising and this one certainly
is imho!
I've been following these programs for a while...
Mr. Liles appeared to be trying to program *both* at the same time.
More recently, he started giving priority to non-daw development. His
latest non-daw commit is Jan '09. His latest non-sequencer commit is
Nov '08.
The sequencer works pretty good (key c for new pattern)
The non-daw didn't show up in Jack, so it looks useless right now, BUT
with potential.
AFAIK, there don't seem to be a lot of people using or developing
it... and sometimes people's lives get in the way (esp. if they think
nobody's benefitting). :-) Liles has been known to incorperate
patches from others, and respond to peoples issues. Code is
maintained in Git, and he seems to embrace a bazaar-like development
ethic.
I read he is pretty much open for contributions, yes.
I doubt if Liles considers these projects dead.
pfieuww,
It's the first midi seq which makes me feel '*I want to make some music*'.
It could be a good replacement for the closed source energyxt and/or
renoise (ok that's a tracker) e.g. apps to put musical ideas quickly in
your pc. Also it seems to be a app that could be useful for things you
do with seq24 and stuff (and maybe live?).
You could make another Ardour or another Rosegarden, he takes a whole
different road and so it actually adds something imo. And the workflow
you can have with it seems to be damn good. Everyone who wants to make a
/'small-jack-one/task/one/tool-app'/ should look at this one first,
because it's easy to work with, user-friendly and fast (the kind of
things you miss sometimes in the Linux audio apps...)
I'm excited about this new approach!
