  • Make midimap load only happen through setting settings.midimap_file in MidifileInputEngine.
  • Create new Engine class and move all audio-inner-loop code there to better indicate where we can use blocking calls/locks and where we can't. (deva)
  • Make unit tests run on OSX.
  • Use common bin-version for plugins (VST: setUniqueID() and LV2: ttl:microVersion and ttl:minorVersion)

  • Merge features from edrummer feature list into “Unspecified future release” taskllist. (iliverez)
  • ENGINE: When recieving midi input, make it possible to restrict it to a certain midi channel (0-16?). As reported by “swbeeton” on irc on 22may2014. Ardour can output to only one midi channel so it is possible to have both a keyboard and an electronic drumkit connected on the same midi interface. But since DrumGizmo recieves input on all channels, it also reacts to the midi keyboard input.
  • Look at Aubio for beat onset detection. (unassigned)
