[seq24-users] roadmap

[Dmitry B. <dsb...@gm...>]

Hello!
I'm planning to add some features to seq24.
And think it will be useful for all to discuss them :)

The main thing most of us are missing from seq24 is optional
jack-transport interaction. At least seq24 should start/stop
jack-transport. Providing timebase master is a complex matter, as
seq24 does not have "master track" which may provide tempo/meter
events. So, it needs some research here.

Another issue is midi port handling. Personally, I plan to redesign it
in the following way: you create any number of alsa output ports in
seq24 and direct your patterns to them, instead of external ports.
Now, to get some sound you just need to connect seq24's outputs to any
alsa midi inputs with some external tool (or seq24 itself). The main
benefits are more clean notion of outputs and possibility to add
lash/ladcca support.

And the last but not least is CC event handling. It would be useful to
add quantization on record. Another issue is CC event editor. I think
some controller views need the ability to edit shape of overall curve
in addition to single events.

Waiting for your comments.
