Well, it seems to me maybe we should get collaborative on this, with
you driving the focus based on what kind of things you're trying to do
with music production software, and me providing both comments on that
and perhaps a little push towards what the majority of people using
this kind of stuff are looking for.

Yes, we should get together with you, your laptop, and me and my
keyboard, laptop and some of my Windows software, and have a session
where we look at where everything stands. I can't really imagine doing
any serious music production without a proper input device.[*]

Poke me with a private e-mail and let's arrange a time and place.

[*]: Ok, I can, because I did some of my production back in the 80s
and 90s writing C code to convolve 256-byte audio buffers and
contempating notes in terms of hertz frequencies and millisecond
durations, but I have a strong suspecion that the vast majority of
musicians, and even people interested in music, don't work that way.
