@mcc I'll probably do that or just grab the code for using the native APIs from one of my other projects. It looks like cinder covers *all* of the other things I need so this isn't really a deal breaker. Do you use cinder for things?

@aeva I had never heard about it before your post earlier. If I had known about it before 2016 I might have tried it, but I've been trying to move away from c++ for a long time*.

* Although my current project sure does contain a substantial amount of it.

@mcc after your stream today I got to pondering how to best satisfy my need for a good sequencing and recording workflow, and decided that the best course of action is probably to just write one that merges some of the ideas from the Arturia devices I have and extending the basic pocket operator sequencer.

@mcc since its a just for me tool first, my only real constraints here are that it needs to be low latency and it needs to be something I can iterate on quickly, which, well, means C++ still until I learn another systems language.

@aeva Here's the C++ mini sequencer I've been using, if you want to see how easy this is:

github.com/mcclure/lovr/blob/Z

Songs look like

(P t--3 0 p8x p13x p0x p8x p13x)
(R t--2 0 t--3 p0 x p8 x p13 x)
R P -2 R P +4 R P -2

(Numbers are notes, uppercase letters are function definitions or calls, lowercase numbers are control codes)

413 lines of code (and it was only 70 lines of code in the original version; adding polyphony and hooks for GUI integration made it more complicated)
