I just had a look at it and from the quick glimpse I can point out following differences in Jacker: * has a Cubase-style sequencer, with tracks assignable to individual ports and MIDI channels, patterns concurrently playable, and full keyboard/mouse support (see cheatsheet.txt). * patterns have dedicated columns for note volume and commands. Allows to do a bit more than just send MIDI. * each pattern can have a different count of channels. * supports different signatures than just 4/4, so measures like 6/8, 5/4, 3/4 are all possible. * has Jack MIDI support only, but supports 16 JACK ports, and 16 MIDI channels per port = 256 MIDI channels in total. * loads/saves files in JSON, not XML, which makes generating and parsing documents in Python ridiculously easy. * has a compact UI. * has been released as Beta right now, where the last Tutka release is from 2006. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
