Seems i started a discussion here.
Before i comment on my motivation for writing lindrum, i want to address the
name issue. I knew of the Linndrum and i have to admire that i was somehow
inspired by it. I removed one n and this suddenly fitted to Linux. Voila!
What i didn't know is that the company is still in business. So in fact it
might be necessary to find a new name.
Surely i tried hydrogen.. and i like it. I thought about participating or
contributing, but my "vision" was somehow different. So i decided to learn
first, looked in JACK and LADSPA and wrote me a wrapper just to get known to
the APIs. It was fun and it worked.
On the the other hand i do a lot of gui programming. The dials in lindrum e.g.
where done long ago absolutely independent of lindrum.
Someday then - when i did some music on that other system, once again sitting
in front of a my favorite drum machine - i asked myself if it would be
possible to implement this machine using all this common stuff like JACK,
LADSPA ... I just tried "for fun". Someone mentioned that. And yes: I looked
into hydrogen code. To learn. I looked into lot of little projects code. Dead
projects. To learn. And IMHO they're not useless. Maybe my project will be
dead at the end of the year. But then i made my experience and still can join
hydrogen or other projects.
