I'm quite sure many of us would like to see this limitations go away, including Dave. Being able to work with MIDI hardware is reason enough to have MIDI sequencing. That doesn't rule out to have something else, additionaly. How about you work out a proposal? Or better yet a draft implementation, as we all have seen how far one gets with talking ... I guess you have the technical and musical expertise and maybe the motivation thanks to your specific interests. Once you have completed something, perhaps someone steps up to crticise it. -- Thorsten Wilms _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
