Hi Jai,
I think it's manageable for you, you just need to take the plunge! I
don't think it's out of your capability.
I recommend you take the time to learn PYMidi and then use CoreMidi
directly to fill in any gaps. Keep up learning Cocoa along with IB and
XCode, it will pay off in the future and not just for this project. I
see that Pete Yandell set up various little docs with code snippets on
the basics of using his framework, and it looks simple (with a quick
look).

I am a desperate musician in search of a tool that doesn't exist...
Tried Numerology. Loved it. But, doesn't have the features I want.
So, as someone with experience programming in C, I thought I'd just
make
something. Looked at MusicKit, PYMidi, and of course all the Apple
stuff I
could find. Not as simple as the basic things I have done in the past
using
ready-to-bake application frameworks.
I am looking to put together a simple MIDI sequencer:
Up to 32 tracks.
Each track to be able to instantly switch between different snapshots
of
saved states.
A mixer for the tracks with standard metaphor for each track:
Solo
Mute
Volume
Pan
Output
List of snapshots available for track
A master track in the mixer with snapshots of the mixer state.
Import of .mid files output from Recycle.
Stop
Play
State changes (snapshot changes, and song chang) snap to beat or bar...
Imagine Ableton Live, but just for MIDI
That's it. No Audio Units. No nothing. Just a simple, stable live
performance tool.
What I can bring to the table:
Development of overall structure and purpose of software.
Development of algorithms -- this I am good at.
Development and programming of user interface -- this I am good at, as
a
graphic designer I work with viusal tools, Flash, all day long. Decent
understanding of Interface Builder, going through some tutorials on
Custom
View development that will preview in Interface Builder.
So, do folks here think that's something doable by a non-professional
coder?
Or, am I better off to partner with someone on the development of the
app?
Any advice tackling a new application from scratch, or interested
takers?
