All the time... I just haven't found time to do much about it.
Will definitely try to get it moving soon, as I really do need it
myself.

The basic design of R3 is that each pattern will have 16 steps for 16
instruments, each step with a velocity value, on/off status, and
possibly some other bits like flam.
The 16 instruments in a pattern will map to 16 midi channels and note
numbers defined in a kit.
So you might define kit 1 as notes C1, D1, E1, F1 and so on, on channel
10.
Then assigning kit 1 to pattern 1, you will be able to select each of
those notes on every step, and have them all trigger with a different
velocity. The idea of kits is that you can quickly assign a different
set of instruments to the same pattern to see how it sounds.
There will be a number of tracks so that you can overlay patterns on top
of each other, and access to instrument mutes for each track, so that
each of the instruments in the current kit for that track can be
individually turned on or off.

Or that's the plan, anyway...
I really should make a start on a test build at least - all I have so
far is a skeleton program with tempo generation etc.
When I come up with P4, it'll be nice for people to have something to
use their P3 hardware for ;-)
