Probably 3-4 months until 0.6.0.

Yea, I guess it can be a pain to change a set of patterns to a new output.
 Perhaps I should set it up such that the output can be changed from the
popup menu on the main screen.  Then we don't have to open the edit window
for each change.  If we set it up such a way that you can just remap the
alsa port, your still going to have a problem if you want to change the
midi channel quickly.

The way I'm planning on doing it is with a menu item, where you can select
to fill the current control code over the sequence and then you can just
adjust them with the mouse.  There will also be a menu item to thin out
recoreded control codes..   where is will remeove every other one or
sometime similar.
