Anthem 0.0.17

Anthem is an advanced open source MIDI sequencer. Anthem allows you to record, edit and playback music using a sophisticated and acclaimed object oriented song technology. It runs under the KDE desktop environment, on Unix-based platforms.
It is based on the TSE3 sequencer engine and therefore provides a great deal of power, combining the innovative object oriented TSE3 song technology with a simple, intuitive interface.
This open source edition of Anthem is based on a previous commercial version which ran on Acorn RISC OS computers. This open source version of Anthem will only run on Unix-based platforms.
Anthem is still very much a work in progress, so keep coming back to see the latest developments. Anthem is developing fast.
