You might have seen my recent post about the ongoing development of teqqer (a console based tracker style midi/cv sequencer). It is based on a simple library called teq [1] which provides a pattern/tracker based abstraction for playing midi/cv events over jack ports. The simplest (somewhat complete) program to generate a loop of notes would be something like this: import teq from pyteq import * t = teq.teq() # start pattern/tick, end pattern/tick set_loop_range(t, 0, 0, 1, 0, True) t.insert_midi_track("foo", 0) # create a pattern p = t.create_pattern(16) # fill it with notes for n in range(0, 16): "...") # track, tick, event p.set_midi_event(0, n, teq.midi_event(teq.midi_event_type.ON, 60, 64)) # insert pattern at position 0 t.insert_pattern(0, p) # some cleanup (call regularly to collect garbage after editing operations) t.gc() # ticks per second t.set_global_tempo(4) # pattern, tick set_transport_position(t, 0, 0) # ... play(t) # wait for the user to press enter try: i = input("Press Enter to continue...") except: pass t.deactivate() It is still not feature complete (alpha stage, though teq is more complete than teqqer). jack_transport is definitely on the TODO list. And I also ponder implementing basic sampler functionality. So maybe it interests you.. [1] https://github.com/fps/teq
