First I collected some ideas for text based sequencing in order to fill in the ability realm of Live. I’ve took some essential hints from Atari which are part of Apple’s now.

I think I was guided by Millward’s with VST instruments. Mixed it up with R by Jerome Sueur and produced a first glimpse into sound synthesis at

Now I’m figuring out how to funnel midi output of composition driven by repositories into processing lines.

My integrated development environment IDE is -> -> Debian. Also experienced Ubuntu and endeavorOS, but definitely 100% gnu Linux. Well I maintain a service line to .

Heartily welcome for collaboration requests.

some of how *that* one looks like can be seen here: mastodon.social/@unspeaker/113

#ableton and pretty much any other #daw i've tried lets you group tracks, and collapse them. fair enough.

no daw i've seen lets you group and collapse "scenes" or any other section of time. just imagine having each track's arrangement in your setlist expandable in place, so you can easily do transitions and medleys... that's the kind of thing i'm tryna build.

screenshot of text user interface of music making program with oh so many stuff - multitrack arrangement grid with embedded sequencer, midi inputs and outputs, the rudiments of per-port + per-channel midi routing, et cetera. the tracks, clips, and scenes that make up a project are colored in random, yet uniformly joyful colors.

the table thing ties back into into #vestal, the binary patcher for old soundwares (codeberg.org/unspeaker/vestal - that one isn't passing its ci yet, baaad code, baaaaaad developer!)

that could sure use some interactivity, at least in development. would keep me focused.

it also ties back into #tek, whose entire thing is reimplementing #ableton's "#excel for music" schtick in a terminal, so, again, tables!

or, more properly, collapsible table-trees... not a new idea, more like a lost technology! 😁

Never mind… User error… I finally got around to updating my #Ableton Suite. Now the LED’s on my PUSH 2 are so dim I can barely see them. The place in “Settings” that is supposed to control the LED brightness does nothing. It seems I might be the only one with this issue? I’m finding nothing on the interwebs. I’m extremely frustrated.
