Wow!
I'm floored! This thing is great! I'm a beginning drummer and this has already helped me mess with some sticking and patterns.
Now, some minor issues:
--Would like to be able to create bars with drum patterns, then be able to copy selections and paste repeatedly, creating new bars as I go --Import MIDI files? --Demo file showing the 26 rudiments to compare stick patterns to how they are implemented in the program.
Program intermittently quits when song is playing and you make drum modifications, when changing prefs, too.
Beige g3/233, 384MB RAM, 10.1.5 using built-in sound.
Hope this helps. When can I register and send money?

Right on! Thanks for the positive feedback. :)

Can't you do this already, just by copy/paste/paste/paste, or do I misunderstand what you're saying? Of course as it stands, the insertion point doesn't move ahead following the paste; it probably should. I'll fix that.
--Import MIDI files?
MIDI might be awhile off, because I have to research a bunch about MIDI and the various implications of format conversion, internal representation and whatnot. Would be useful though wouldn't it. It's on the list.
--Demo file showing the 26 rudiments to compare stick patterns to how they are implemented in the program.
Interesting idea. Anyone want to volunteer to work one up? :)

Hmmm... interesting, I'll try to investigate this. Have you found a particular sequence of events you can reproduce this with?
when changing prefs, too.
Someone also reported this one yesterday, thanks. I see it too... must have inadvertently broken something recently.

How much is it worth to ya? My address is on the home page... ;-D In seriousness, I haven't thought in detail about pricing/registration/etc too much yet. My main focus has been working on the app, and getting it to a usable stage to release for testing (now accomplished). Next, my major goals are to add audio export, including stereo support for drum panning, and improve the drum kit editor to a more polished state.
At that point (hopefully within several weeks), I'll be more ready to call the app "1.0" and have a registration scheme in place.
