Re: [MMM] Re: Microtonal Sequencer? @ Monz

Hello Monz,

I am very curious for version 1.0... in all my enthusiasm i started being busy with programming languages as well, but I understand now that programming a microtonal sequencer (and probably anything) is much more difficult than I thought. You have to pre-think anything you write in code, and how easy is it for me to think as a midi-gear? I wish you much success for the first release! You'll probably send a mail to MMM to let us know :)

All the best,
Clemens

i was more-or-less (mostly less) working on this project
from 1984 until last year. but since this past February
development has been seriously under way. the projected
release date for version 1.0 is February 2004. the tuning
part is essentially complete now, and the next step is
to incorporate the sequencer stuff.
