Midithing is aiming to be a free sequencing environment for the Linux operating system (and may well work on other Unices as well). Its features are designed to be accessible from the programming language Python (www.python.org).
Midithing has by now reached the first stage of its development, which consists of a python extension library of objects that can store, retrieve, manipulate, receive and send MIDI data. Midithing comes with a highly accurate MIDI event scheduler (aka sequencer).
Since this is good enough for music that can be described algorithmically but awkward for complex 'natural' music, midithing is in the process of being extended with a graphical user interface based on the Gtk+ toolkit (www.gtk.org). It is also planned to have midithing running in synchronicity with the promising Ardour digital audio workstation (ardour.sourceforge.net) at a later date.
