8 tiny piece of software that turns a joystick into a MIDI controller for the
9 <link ref="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA</link> sequencer infrastructure. I mainly wrote it to test the new MIDI interface

18 (Sorry no binaries - but it's so small it only takes seconds to compile it
19 yourself :) Compiling aseqjoy requires kernel and ALSA (asound library) headers
22 <para>To compile and install it's really just the simple:
24 <para><screen>tar xzf aseqjoy-0.0.1.tar.gz && cd aseqjoy-0.0.1 && ./configure && make && make
27 <para>To make full use of aseqjoy you might require jscal from the Vojtech Pavlik's
