Description: Quincy is (will be) a small sequencer with hard-disk recording. It is not meant to be a full-featured package like, e.g., Performer Audio, Cubase VST, or Notator Audio; you won't find auto-arrangements and accompaniment, complex humanizing and "groove" algorithms, etc. What you will find is most of the basic features that most musicians need, with a good interface.

Description: SamplerPlatter will eventually be an application that will allow your computer to act as a MIDI-controllable sampler, with real-time effects processing, and a plug-in architecture that will allow different "samplers" to be built, each with their own GUI, MIDI control set and mappings, etc. There will be emulators with the look and capabilities of various commercial samplers (barring legal difficulties) including the Ensoniq Mirage (a classic 8-bit sampler with a unique gritty sound) and the Roland DJ-70 (a modern sampler with an interesting interface, including a scratch wheel, although I'm not sure how to handle that in the GUI). There will also be one sampler designed to provide the most efficient interface to every feature in the system, rather than looking like a traditional sampler's control panel. The emulated samplers may have additional capabilities that the original sampler did not--for example, there's no reason that a DJ-70 emulator can't be microtonal even though the real thing is fixed to standard tunings.

Description: SpectroMeter is a spectum analyzer. It performs the same function as SoundWatcher but the display is smoother. The Smoothness is accomplished in two ways: 1) An adjustable frame refresh 2) An adjustable exponentially decaying averaging over time of the frequency bins. Also, stereo output is displayed. Also, get ADC-DAC which simply allows the change of the ADC input and the sampling rate of the audio system.
