Hi, I wrote ttrk. And yeah, lately I've been kinda interested in just
throwing in MIDI input. I agree, it's a bit annoying. Right now I kinda
think up a line and type it in. Otherwise when writing a line I loop one
pattern continuously and just edit it by hand.
One issue I kinda had was how to 'advance' when you're playing keys. I
guess, if the track is playing in a 'record' mode, you pick what track
you're on and the notes just appear. That would probably make the most
sense. Otherwise, just a step input mode would be nice that advances like
a 16th note or something.
It shouldn't be too hard to throw in. What do you think of ttrk? I
don't get much comments on it. I should probably put it on sourceforge or
something. Do you know of any bugs?
