The Null Device

I've been working on and off (in my copious free time) on audio/music synthesis software under Linux (the ultimate goal being to turn an old P133 laptop into a useful live performance tool), and now I have a proof of concept to show for my effort: toy303, which simulates something vaguely like a Roland TB-303, using an interactive text-mode (Curses) interface. To use, download, untar and make, and run ./toy303. (And no, it won't run on Windows. Or indeed much other than Linux.)

(Why Curses, I you ask, and not a nicer-looking Qt/Gtk UI? Well, (a) the software this may end up in will be Curses-based for speed (it'll have to do lots of doovy things on a P133 laptop, and will need all the clock cycles it can get), and (b) pushing keys to do things without worrying about mouse focus is a lot quicker than dragging elements with a mouse. And (c), because it's a proof-of-concept toy, and I didn't have the time or reason to spend a lot of effort on a slick UI.)
