Elektron Musical Instruments

The problem isn't that other platforms don't have similar MIDI, GUI,
and data structure libraries. The problem is that other libraries
function completely differently. The names of classes, and the methods
they contain are all different. Although I could reuse most of my
algorithms, the code with which they're currently implemented with
would have to be completely rewritten for each platform. That's not to
say that I won't ever port it, just that it might be some time before
I do :)
