Okies. Can't say i understand you objecting to something you don't have to use but there you go. why a standalone version, because it's standalone. no need for jack, jack-dssi-host, an easy to use jack capture program, or a fully fledged DSSI host sequencer. just the app, alsa and a keyboard. it lowers the bar for entry into the world of linux audio. not everyone is a dyed in the wool, kernel patching, source compling, terminal using linux wizard. don't need it?, don't use it ;) Cheers Pete. NB: i'm only working on an interface. i'm not the author of the standalone app or the (unreleased) DSSI plugin.
