Nice, but there are already a lot of such tools. What is the core benefit of this one specifically compared to the others?

The software seems to be abandoned. There are dozens of issues and PR's open from several years back. Surely someone who was asking for donations would be attentive of the software of which those donations are based, no?

sorry to add to the somewhat negative comments but I used to use this for editing MIDIs and I eventually moved to Sekaiju http://openmidiproject.opal.ne.jp/Sekaiju_en.html , it's a lot nicer for doing more complex/low-level MIDI work although the UI is a bit painful and it's kind of slow but that might just be my old computer and/or Wine. it's also free and open source (or as FOSS as a win32 application can be if that bothers you)

exactly. when you donate to an open source project you aren't supporting past development at all. you are instead entitled to getting whatever feature implemented you want.

Crashes frequently doing normal operations like panning on Windows.

That's not a MIDI editor, its a custom music language. Also it's paid, not open source.

Perhaps they stopped maintaining it due to the lack of support.

If you donate to an open source project you are entitled to getting whatever feature implemented?
