That wasn't three solid months of trying, that's just how long I've been
on the project. Gentoo ebuilds - especially for x86_64 systems - don't
always have the quality of binary builds on binary distributions. Hence
my problems.

Which suits me fine. I just want to play/record, not fumble around with
software.

None of these are really too important, although the matrix editing
would be handy. But I can overcome that by using Hydrogen - I have no
issues with using more than one bit of software at a time. After all, I
used to do this with LOTS of hardware.
