The manuals have pretty screenshots

Status? Version?
Looks great for integration in a modular setup. I might try nondaw for sound design.

[studio32]

Man this looks pretty damn good! Easy and fast!

I wonder if I will bump my head against some missing features... and these apps are a one-man-show?

[studio32]

The bad news...
IRC rumor...

Okay, so, male is the author of non. He disappeared maybe 6 months ago and nobody I know has heard anything from him since, and no work has been done on non since either.

This apps has a lot of potential!!! We can't let it die...

I'll mail male...

Cool Find,

Has anyone built it? I would be curious if it still has compatibility with newer JACK (0.116+). The author references ZynADDSubFX which had broken JACK support until it's latest release so I'm wondering if this would work or not. I'll give a go and post back, the MIDI Sequencer looks very appealing. The DAW would work very nicely with linuxDSP and LV2Rack.

The developers commentary on other competing applications throughout the manuals is hilarious!

Non-daw does not work with jack2 here. Non-sequencer works here.

I had problems making nondaw work with older jack versions as well (haven't tried with jack2).
The problem was that you couldn't see the tracks of your session (this is with Ubuntu Hardy, Jaunty).
I discovered that if you resize the main window vertically enough (e.g. make it bigger), that the
tracks become visible again. I reported this bug on the non-daw mailing list, but somehow it
didn't get through. I will try again now...
Hope this helps for everyone experiencing the same problem.

This was a solution for the Jack problem?

I've mailed the author, the mailinglist.. no reply or confirmation...

[lievenmoors]

No, sorry, this has nothing to do with Jack. But because of this bug, people might conclude that
non-daw doesn't work at all for whatever reason.

[studio32]

Ok.
The author seems to be gone... I can't contact him.

On the LAD mailinglist there are one or two persons interested in a 'fork' (whatever that means in this case).
Which would be cool imho, cause this are cool apps!

[studio32]

yah, some sign of life of the author on the LAD list

no need to fork, time for collaboration

Have anyone really tested non sequencer? Is it any better than either rosegarden or seq24?

[StudioDave]

Have anyone really tested non sequencer? Is it any better than either rosegarden or seq24?

The author seems to think so:

"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."



I have tested it, though not strenuously. It is very cool, but probably not suitable for every MIDI composer. YMMV. Might as well try it, you can't beat the price.

Best,
