; 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 #(url,MANUAL.html,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.
|
|
|
|
; What does freedom have to do with this software?
|
|
|
|
Non is /free software/. This means, briefly, that you are free use it as
|
|
*you* wish, free to examine and adapt the source code, free to share it with
|
|
your friends, and free to publish your changes to the source code.
|
|
Furthermore, Non is /copyleft/, which means that you are free from the threat
|
|
of some other entity taking over and denying you the above freedoms. The
|
|
/free/ part of /free software/ doesn't refer to price any more than the
|
|
/free/ in /free speech/ does.
|
|
|
|
To learn why free software is so important to us (and why it should be
|
|
important to you), please see the Free Software Foundation's website:

; Donations
|
|
|
|
Donations can take many forms. You can donate your time in code, either by
|
|
sending it to me for review or cloning the git repository and publishing one
|
|
containing your changes. You can donate your time in testing, documentation,
|
|
artwork, indexing, etc. Or, if you don't feel that you possess the time or
|
|
skills required for the above forms of donation, you can donate money
|
|
instead. Money donated will help to ensure that I have the free time, good
|
|
nutrition and enthusiasm required to implement new features. It can also be
|
|
a more palpable way of saying "Thanks for caring." or "Job well done!"
|
|
|
|
If you don't love this software, don't feel guilty about not contributing. If
|
|
you do love it, then please help me improve it--in whatever manner you think
|
|
is appropriate.
