Sequitur is a BeOS/Haiku-native MIDI sequencer with a MIDI processing add-on architecture. It allows you
to record, compose, store, and play back music from your computer. Sequitur is designed for people
who like to tinker with their music. It facilitates rapid, dynamic, and radical processing of your
performance.
Features:
- An add-on architecture for processing MIDI and performing MIDI effects. Change a track's velocity,
apply echo, add chorus, change it's key signature, etc.
- MIDI processing is integrated with editing: Paint with echo effects, paint chords in key, etc.
- Easily rearrange songs with familiar phrase operations.
- Customize your interface with skinning.
- Achieve special effects with tool properties: Turn on gradual delete and slowly rub out MIDI events.
- Full support of Haiku's advanced MIDI services: All Midi2-compatible software is automatically available.
- Record, edit, and playback note, program change, control change, and pitch bend MIDI data.
- Read and write standard MIDI files.
This version (2.1.2) of the source compiles and runs under Haiku, without any so-far-detected limitations.
It is essentially identical in behaviour to the last 2.1 BeOS version, except that the FilePanels are a bit
smarter (they filter to show only MIDI files, and preserve the working directory). It now saves files
with MimeType 'audio/midi', but recognizes 'audio/x-midi' and 'audio/mid' as well.
The "devkit" folder in the BeOS original has been omitted from the user package because it has not yet
been checked that it matches the current source [it almost certainly doesn't].
As the complete source is now freely available it is probably redundant anyway.
These have been superseded by version 2.1.3 on HaikuDepot,
but are left here for now…

Source for building the above version (2.89MB zip)
This source is complete for building Sequitur 2.1.2, but has been trimmed of
about 5MB of code that is unused here. The complete original source from ARP,
now patched to match the latest version,
is available at
HaikuArchives.

SoundFonts
It seems that the TimGM Sounfont available from HaikuDepot is still
not the fixed one!! Three of the instruments (admittedly not all that
popular ones) are unusable in certain key ranges: "Harmonica" (23),
"Bandoneon" (or "Tango Accordion" 24), and "Whistle" (79).
I fixed the font several years ago, and passed it back to the author,
but it doesn't seem to get propagated... If you want to experience the
worst two instruments (Bandoneon and Whistle, here's a brief
demo file!
The really fixed version is here as a
Zip file (5.31MB)
or an
hpkg
(5.31MB)
There are may other soundfonts to be found on the web. One I find I use most
is "General User"
(29.83MB — get FluidSynth-version 1.44).
