What Improvements Would You Like To See In Free/Libre, Open Source Music Software? (lemmy.ca)

Hey guys, forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I have a talent for understanding audio very well. I just finished implementing a sequencer and a synthesizer in C, just for fun. Now that I'm done, I feel pretty good about this project, and I feel like there's no reason not to keep going, but I don't know what to work on next. I love free software, so I'd love to fill in the gaps that may cause a person to prefer to buy a proprietary synthesizer over downloading a free one. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks.

Just wanted to say: I hope you're enjoying the project. Implementing something like you've done has always been a dream down-time programming project for me, but I've never had the time. I grew up with Impulse Tracker and similar in the MSDOS era, and later took a geophysics degree (which is much about waveforms and signal analysis when you get down to it -- what is a seismic wave if not audio...). And I've always just wanted to play with programmable audio and effects. So you're living my alter-ego's life :)

I'm not going to make any feature requests. I'm too busy with work to even poke your software. I just wanted to throw some kudos towards you for doing something cool :)
