Thanks for the thoughts!
The initial offering will be pretty sandboxed from the rest of the production toolchain; I'm aiming for an MVP with the simple goal of "sketch music quickly". So there won't be much to offer in terms of interacting with other software.
After that, however, anything is up for grabs. Eventually, I'd love to add features that would make it an invaluable music production tool, not just a note-taking app. Under the hood, each instrumental layer in my app has a set of "traits" (volume, vibrato, expression, etc.) that get matched to the appropriate settings in the output instrument if they exist. Only the settings that exist in the output instrument are used; the rest are ignored. For the time being, these traits are only used internally for the built-in MIDI synth. But if I'm understanding you correctly, this means that it should be pretty simple to add arbitrary traits for outside instruments. And eventually, when I add Audiobus and/or MIDI-out support, it should be possible to play the track directly through the synth! (But that's a bit into the future... need to focus! Need to focus!)
Thanks for the guitar solo tips, I will definitely be using some of those!
