This my main UI reference or something I will taken now a lot of inspiration from at least because Octamed is superb and nice to use. And stands time just like Vim :-)

1. Octamed was made by a Finn Teijo Kinnunen.
2. Had major share on invention of such electronic music genres at their epoch such as breakbeat, jungle and drum'n'bass.
3. Still widely used as it does the job and has predictability unreachable on a signal chain with adaptive latency prevention algorithms, and especially with hardware samplers and such this makes ones life better.
4. I like it too a lot, it's great for what it does :-)

That is next 6 months at least because I want my tracker to level that I can do a full track with no other tools, and it is surprising how bottomless pit different usage patterns are (and not necessarily bugs, something just works or doesn't). And now that I actually have really good design and implementation for the engine it makes me less eager to less, it's fun to try things out :---)
