Hello, One important way in which I have made music on Linux in the past is using text-to-midi software to create tracks. The software I used back then, and have used occasionally in the past few years, is midge[1], a text-to-midi programme written in perl with a strong emphasis on randomisation (randomised timing, weighted random note selection, random block selection, etc.). Allas, it does not appear to have been updated in nearly six years now, and, though it still works fine for my purposes, I'm wondering whether I should switch to something new before diving back into text sequencing. Does anyone know of other such programmes offering similar randomisation features? I've heard good things of Bob Van Der Poel's mma, but its focus seems more on templating styles and quick composition: is that correct? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated, as always. Cheers, S.M. 1. http://www.undef.org.uk/code/midge/ -- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
