Exactly. A horizontal version of that, proportional to time on the x-axis, showing midi/waveforms like MusE/Ardour/Qtractor. I suppose I could add a vertical list view like above... it's a nice compact summary, and easy to implement.
If you are getting back into development of Tritium, I would be very interested and will keep track of development of Tritium.
Cool. Watch this board.. I'll start a Tritium thread when/if I restart development.

A list of patterns in a summary should be easily clicked in for quickly navigating within the timeline.

Hi, please consider using some wrapper API for realtime audio+midi. This would make possible porting (OSX, WIN) much easier.

Possible candidates are: RTAudio (+ RTMidi naturally) or JUCE (has the GUI stuff also, so even better)

Jack is cross platform. There's also portaudio and https://github.com/andrewrk/libsoundio
I can't really comment as to which is best because I've never tried making crossplatform apps.

The point of RTAudio and JUCE was that both have already Jack (audio and midi) supported, but not constraining to Jack only (contrast to selecting Jack directly). Portaudio does not do midi, however there exists PortMedia http://portmedia.sourceforge.net but it does not support Jack midi so there is no guarantee for proper midi-audio sync and the available backends are currently more limited than in RTAudio/RTMidi or JUCE, libsoundio does not seem to have midi support, but I might have just missed that (I did browse the git for a while)
