Hi! First my question: Did anyone have problems with libxml or libxml-includes while compiling tapeutape? If not, then I got something messed up on my system. Flo: About the exclusive-group feature. It's already implemented (at least partly) the only thing you might do is make it nicer to use in you xml-format. Because an exclusive group is just a group of note, which are monophonic. Two other things I think are quite important, to me at least. One is, could you add a parameter to the notes/samples, that they can play until the sample-file has reached it's end? So to say an automatic sustain. Another thing could you add something like an ADSR for volume at least. A third minor thing at the moment: It would be nice to have a simplistic kind of interactive user-interface (probably with readline or so). For I could just quite tapeutape with ^c. I'm using the non-gui version. Kindest regards and thanks for the sampler, I rather like it!
