Paul,
Thanks. Rhythmlab looks like fun. (Assuming I found the right one. I
actually ended up using Google since it didn't pop out at me on Dave's
pages.) Here's what I'm looking at:
http://www.enteract.com/~asl2/music/RhythmLab/#About . If this isn't the one
you're speaking of, please let me know.
While this looks useful, I think what attracted me about the little app
the Christian has started is that it appears to be intended to be used as a
MIDI device and not something that makes rhythm patterns. This is what I
like about Battery as I do my MIDI drum programming other ways, but can
easily insert the drum samples I want very quickly. For my more permanent
kits I use GigaStudio and build a kit, but that takes more time so I don't
do it unless I'm pretty sure I really need the kit. With Battery I can just
sort of throw a bunch of samples together and get results pretty quickly.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
Mark

be sure to check out rythmnlab (see dave's linux sound+midi pages for
a link). i have a rewritten (C++), cleaned up, JACK-ified version that
has been pending for months and months now. it was intended to be a
hard test of the "porting an OSS-model app to JACK" and indeed, it was
so hard i had to rewrite it :)
anyway, my point is that rythmnlab is really cool. not as cool as
battery, perhaps, but really cool.
