I've been writing and using this over the last few years and was
wondering if there is any interest in open sourcing it . It's written
using GTK and WebKit and can control guitarix, sooperlooper, fluidsynth,
hydrogen and a few others. I'm looking for feedback and interest levels.
Here is a quick overview video.

Intreresting. What kind of open source licence were you thinking of? Some
are more compatable with debian/ubuntu than other. This seems to be a mix
of session manager and control application. I have seen people who use
such things but I am not one of them because I get confused doing complex
real time things beyond playing the instrument itself ;) But for people
who do one man band with looping and backing this could be quite useful. I
guess it could easily work for taking a MIDI controller foot switch and
making a stomp box (a la Mod duo) wth a pi4 or nuc as well.
How hard is it to program? some people would have no trouble with HTML
programing, others would want some sort fo GUI.
I guess we have to ask the hard questions too. What GUI does it use? and
will it be maintained? People tend to look is askance at things where
there has been no commits for ages (years). How would you host the code?
(github, launchpad, etc.)
Anyway, I do think it looks like a useful application. I think before we
look at packaging it, we would want to see the how the code fits together
for ease of packaging... not the make a package that works kind of
packaging but rather the making the package acceptable for publishing part
(means passes lint at least)
It would be too late to have appear in 19.10 at this point, but plenty of
time to hit 20.04.
