Software
Tools I've built, with source and downloads for each. Sequin is the first one released; the rest still need packaging and will follow.
Sequin
A screen-reader-first, keyboard-only step sequencer and drum machine, designed non-visually from the ground up.
- Status
- Released. Version 1.0.0, 21 July 2026.
- Platform
- Windows (standalone executable); runs anywhere Python does
- Licence
- AGPL-3.0-or-later
- Accessibility
- Built for blind and low-vision musicians using NVDA. The tracker grid is the primary control surface, using native widgets that announce name, value, and role. Fully keyboard-operable with no visual dependency.
The download is a zip. Windows SmartScreen may warn about an app from an unidentified developer, because it is not code-signed — choose More info, then Run anyway. You can verify the file against the checksum below first.

FreedomHawk
An accessible, screen-reader-first Windows controller for the Line 6 Firehawk FX.
Line 6 discontinued the mobile editor for the Firehawk FX and the cloud service it depended on, which left the hardware unusable for the blind and low-vision musicians who owned one. FreedomHawk gives the pedal back.
- Status
- In active development, not yet released. Offline editing and the practice tools work; live Bluetooth control of the pedal is in progress.
- Platform
- Windows; Python 3.10+
- Licence
- AGPL-3.0-or-later
- Accessibility
- Built for screen reader users and tested with NVDA. Native Windows controls via wxPython, fully keyboard-navigable, with direct screen-reader speech integration for the more complex interfaces. High-contrast dark mode and large labels for low-vision users, and an HTML manual you can navigate by heading.
