Hi list,
I've just had bit of a play with ttrk, a midi capable tracker and it seems
quite nice.
I had problems compiling 0.6.8, but 0.6.4 compiled (I'll drop the author a note
in the morning).
It only supports /dev/midi, but I've just had a bit of a hack and added DMIDI
functionality to it, so over the weekend I'll tidy this verion up and add
/dev/sequencer support to dmidid.
