That is very fascinating, and thank you for pointing that out .. as I’m currently working on the MIDIShifter3000 project (I may have mentioned it before), such references are immensely valuable in deciding how/what features to implement .. I already have an arpeggiator functioning, but now I’ll go have a closer look at the MI code and see what genius things I find .. maybe its part of the Anushri/Shruthi codebase, which I already have .. will look.

Because big synth manufacturers make synthesizers, but they also make big-synthesizer-companies, and those companies aren’t very valuable if they’re based on code someone else wrote.  But me, personally, I’m going to open source all the things, so that the MIDIShifter3000 becomes a bit more useful to anyone who wants to hack on these things in the future ..

Its not really fun to be on the outside watching all of this again, having been on the inside for a few years, so I’m looking forward to being on the inside again, only with a lot more outside brought inside with me, if you know what I mean .. oh shoot, why does it feel like I just wrote a Punkdisco lyric .. ;)
