MIDI-Sequencer: Horny 1.3
Press release: Horny is a midi sequencer in the style of e.g. "Logic®" or "Cubase®". Its focus is on easy and uncomplicated usage. Up to now Horny is a pure midi program and does not support audio.
From now on the program does only cost 29 Euro. A keyfile for the software sampler Phonolith (OS4) is still always inclusive!
New in version 1.3:
- optionally starts Phonolith and opens there the corresponding project (only OS4)
- AmiUpdate support (only OS4)
- application.library support (only OS4)
- with ALT mouse wheel axis can be changed (only OS4)
- Maus wheel now works in editor window (OS3/newmouse)
- Latency compensation for each MIDI-port
Comment to the future of Horny:
The begin of the development of Horny was started to a time when I had not the knowledge of good programming. Therefore it is not possible to implement new features and even to fix bugs it is rather complicated.
This update 1.3 probably will be the last one with new features. At most you can expect minor bug fixes. Before I started programming Phonolith I started writing a new implementation of Horny for OS4. Probably I will continue developing it after Phonolith 1.0. But this will take a while.
