Hello there. This looks interesting, but I think that from a promotional standpoint, your website needs screenshots or a video of the user interface for your program. It's cool that you can make this music with it, but I would like to quickly get a feel for how your program is used.

IMO, most people will want to see that before they invest time reading documentation or downloading and installing your software.

Just my two cents! I hope this is helpful.

Yep, that's true. For now there isn't a user interface and doing some youtubes about the API is definitely planned. the API will remain around forever though, and is useful for generative composition today.

Do a checkout and you can see quite a few song files in the examples dir which should be helpful in getting a feel for it. UI should be out in a few months and will be more photogenic for youtube and will also ship with some demo tracks showing how all of the patterns work.
