A collection of standalone music tools.
A multi-function midi sequencer that runs on a Novation Launchpad Pro and a headless computer like a Raspberry Pi. Hachi is written in Java, and so can run on a Pi (tested), a Mac (tested), and many other platforms (untested), with or without keyboard and monitor.
Hachi (= "eight" in Japanese) can run up to 8 "modules" at a time. Available modules include several midi sequencers, a paint/animation toy, and a sequencer-controller that lets you coordinate your sequencers. Hachi is a generalized version of this simpler sequencer that I wrote for the original Launchpad. That basic sequencer runs as one module in Hachi.

Tracking bugs, needed improvements, and all-new features using issues here in Github, but also via HuBoard.
- Add element tracks to Seq module.
- Use tap/press for selecting and toggling steps on note and element tracks.
- Combined the GATE and VELOCITY editing modes in Seq, since tap/press allows both.
- Finer element of value settings for velocity and controllers.
- Add MONO mode to Seq, for sequencing monophonic melodies.
- Moved outdated modules into a 'deprecated' package.
- Updated to java 12, updated Module reference.
- Fix hang on shutdown.
- Step module goes into random mode while receiving a fill signal.
- Updates from s0len0id for running on Windows.
- Independent input and output MIDI settings.
- In Beatbox, combine jump and play modes into a single mode. Add momentary pitch element and measure clock.
- In Shihai, a fill button that tells all Sessionizeable modules to play a fill.
- In Paraphonic, add controller sequencing.
- Add ValueSettable, which allows an external midi controller to be used for setting values (in addition to the array of 8 buttons).
- Fix bug in displaying midi channel in Settings.
- Send midi program change on session load; values set in config.
- In Paraphonic, replace pattern clear with edit select, to allow editing of patterns that aren't currently playing.
- In Beatbox, add auto-generated fill patterns that are played when holding down the fill button
- In Beatbox, add sequencing of pitch bend per pattern step
- In Beatbox, fix bug where chain wouldn't reset on stop/start
- In Step, if multiple note modifiers are added to a stage, play the notes one at a time, from low to high
- Added framework for different multi-note modes, but implemented only low-to-high
- Session copy/clear from settings screen for Beatbox & Para
- Follow 24ppqn MIDI clock, enable swing by MIDI pulse
- Allow multiple devices to element Hachi simultaneously
- Beatbox replaces Rhythm
- Minibeat module
- Memory management app
- Add configurable keyboard device
- Added Chords, ChordReceiver, ChordModule to track chords from keyboard device and apply chords to outgoing MIDI notes
- Updated MonoModule and StepModule to extend ChordModule so they follow chords
- Added chord options to keyboard configuration
- Updated doc to cover chords and keyboard configuration
- Added tests for Chords
