I want to have Audiality running as a JACK client ASAP, and the most important part of that is the replacement of raw MIDI input with something timestamped that some useful sequencer can handle. (Linux only of course; I don't have, and don't want a Windows machine for sequencing any more.) //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .- Coming soon from VaporWare Inc...------------------------. | The Return of Audiality!
