<h1 id="u:1.">Description</h1>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Please see the <a class=ext href="MANUAL.html">manual</a> for more information.
</p>
<h1 id="u:2.">What it is not</h1>
<p>
Non is <b>not</b> 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.
</p>
<p>
Everything in Non happens <i>on-line</i>, in realtime. Music is composed live, while the transport is running.
</p>
<h1 id="u:3.">Distribution</h1>

Development of the Non Sequencer can be followed with Git:
