Angry Red Planet has released version 1.0 of Temper (previously Sequitur), a sequencer designed for creative MIDI composition.

Temper is a modern DAW with expected features like a modular environment, flexible routing system, multiple takes per track and more, but the focus is on providing a clean user interface and a powerful set of MIDI editing tools built around three basic ideas:

1. Operating on phrases of musical data;
2. interactive, realtime phrase manipulation via MIDI keyboards;
3. and extensive flexibility by decoupling what gets processed from how it gets processed.
