Realistically, I think MIDI will come in priority after a few other things which have already been mentioned -- better song layout control, dynamics, etc.
That's cool. Yeah, being strictly a hobbyist musician and a relatively poor one, I've never even tried to use MIDI equipment, have have a very limited idea how MIDI stuff works :) But I did hear a lot about how OS X's MIDI implementation was supposed to be very good, and what I do know suggests putting MIDI capabilities in a software drum machine would be pretty handy. Lots there for me to learn :) But to be sure, general usability issues should come first!
Actually, maybe I should put together a poll on what features people think should take priority. what do you all think?
Could do. I'll also add that I definitely look forward to the mentioned file libraries, though I suppose one difficulty with hosting a file library of drum kits is making sure one doesn't run into copyright problems with the sounds used .... I've tried to build some Latin-style patterns on my own, but haven't gotten far with it in terms of kit building (I think I need some more drum sounds) or figuring out sufficiently authentic-sounding sequences.
