Description

The Non Sequencer is a powerful real-time, pattern-based MIDI sequencer for Linux--released under the GPL. Filling the void left by countless DAWs, piano-roll editors, and other purely performance based solutions, it is a compositional tool--one that transforms MIDI music-making on Linux from a complex nightmare into a pleasurable, efficient, and streamlined process.

Please see the manual for more information.

What it is not

Non is not a plain MIDI recorder, tracker, software synthesizer, notation editor or AI system. There are other programs available to do those things. Non is intended to be one tool among many in your Linux audio toolbox.

Everything in Non happens on-line, in realtime. Music is composed live, while the transport is running.
