zequencelen-dt: We might as well get email adresses for everyone at this point, since perhaps only one or two would have any doubts about it00:37
len-dtzequence, I have nothing against it, just that I am not a PR kind of person and so don't "need" it.01:34
holsteinzequence: you think A3 adding midi will kill off any of the other midi sequencers?21:51
holsteini dont think anyone will stop doing what they are doing. personally21:51
zequenceholstein: I'm sure some people will start using Ardour3 for both audio and midi, but the way it's now, I don't think everyone will find it full featured and stable enough for their needs21:53
zequenceProbably depends on how much one uses midi21:54
holsteini mean, the little projects.. you think they will just give up?21:54
zequencelike muse? Don't think so21:54
len-dtWhat little bit of midi I have done holstein, I have preferred to have separate from audio though sync-able. But then I am not really a "synth" person... or maybe I am, perhaps I should say I am not a KB replaces things person.21:54
holsteinlen-dt: im not a synth guy either... i usually route it in ardour like an audio channel and track it live21:55
zequenceI do some midi sometimes. I actually don't find any of the sequencers adequate21:56
zequenceAs soon as you start doing anything else than straight forward 4/4, you start hitting problems21:56
len-dtThat is, I enjoy synth as a lead synth sounding instrument.... Played by a KB player in real time :)21:56
zequenceThe worst one was notes not being played21:56
zequenceIt's funny that all of the sequncers were somewhat similar in the bugginess. This was alsa midi21:57
zequenceThat may be the strenght of Ardour, namely jack midi21:57
len-dtzequence, Quantitize off and ignore the bars21:57
zequencelen-dt: I wrote the notes. Didn't play them21:57
zequenceAnd I was doing tempo changes, etc21:57
zequenceNeeded click for recording audio too21:58
len-dtzequence, that is beyond me... or maybe just feels laborious because I don't even read music well let alone write it.21:58
zequenceThe point is, none of the applications did what they were supposed to do21:59
zequenceThe were supposed to play back all of the notes, not just most of them21:59
len-dtYup. I agree with that, and I would find it more frustrating because I find it hard already.22:00
zequencejack midi is a lot more solid, but I'm not sure the midi implementation in Ardour, at least editing it, is either efficient or solid. I would expect playback to be though22:01
len-dtThe last sequencer I really used was a shareware thing on my Atari years ago. It was really solid time wise and easy to use, though it probably lacked a lot things considered normal now. None of the windows stuff at the time (pre 90s) was stable enough time wise to make music IMO22:05
