cacophony is mostly just an experiment. For someone to find it useful, they have to:
- like the
vistyle of keyboard-driven development - still think MIDIs have some purpose
- use the
javaxMIDI libraries - want to create their own MIDIs
You don't need a venn diagram to realise that this isn't exactly a large market. I think it would aspire to be niche. That said, cacophony exists. Another thing it has in common with vi is that is not intuitive how to quit.
cacophony does not need to be installed. Simply run ant from the source directory and it should compile and start. Of course, it won't work.
To be completed ...
