sure. But keep in mind that the whole app is rather radical
conceptually, although you can sequence similarily to the usual DAW
concepts.

The whole codebase is geared towards extendability for new features, so
that other ppl can add more sophisticated functionality later on (new
datatypes that can be sequenced, different editing-methods, other synths
and whatnot). The src is already GPL licensed. A public release will
need some polishing of the code though due to the short time-frame I am
working in which forces me to sacrifice some code-quality. The major
stopper for many devs will be the fact that I am developing using JAVA
(and a little of C for clocking, etc). For a community project this
choice makes sense though (excellent out-of-the-box dev tools, clarity
of code, easy cross-platform development...).

yeah. for me the show-stopper is the lack of a (good) pattern sequencer
and arbitrary pattern lenghts as well as unlimited f/x rows.
