Hi, I'm Carlo and I started out Shelljam to provide a way of using any standard computer hardware as an input device to make music with. Uses like altering sounds with joysticks or simply playing chords on keyboards are examples really great uses that come to mind, but there is no inherent limitation.
Currently, the most important things that need to be done with Shelljam are SCHED_FIFO realtime implementation and possibly threading implementation (I suspect the threading gains would only start to get visible when a large number of devices are used at once). Personally I would like to minimize my time spent coding and maximize my time spent producing music, although I have a fairly deep insight into C++ and I can work closely with you to produce a Free Software application that has the potential to create a whole movement of young and/or open minded people to enrich our Free Music landscape by reducing the entry cost to produce extremely good-sounding music. Please contact me at capocasa :-:-:AT:-.-.- gmx :--DOT-.-.- Net if you're at all interested! Carlo
