By sequencer, I mean a dedicated MIDI sequencer box like the Yamaha Rm1x or those Roland's.....

I'm talking about orchestrating multiple synths and drum machines and such.....like how the fuck is all that done when there's no display like there is in Cubase and Cakewalk?

No REALTIME LOOP RECORDING RUN FROM IT.If I'm wrong someone is welcome to correct me.VFXsd.My MC-50 didn't have it anyway.I took it right back and crank called the techs for months.

So if I had an MC-500 mkII, you're saying that when I record, and play on a synth, it won't record the notes in realtime??

It will record the notes you'll just have to play all the notes in the pattern through once like a multi track.

last chance VFXsd you'll love me for it

I think I'm gonna stay away from hardware sequencing right now. I'm gonna get the Z1 sequenced (all 6 parts) in Cubase and learn more how to use Cubase....I know basic Cakewalk, so it shouldn't be too too bad.

Right now, I gotta sell my Prophecy and invest in the MS2000R.

I've thought of getting a harware sequencer
for a while, because I really, really, don't like
cubase. I can't count how many cool little
mini songs I've lost because of cubase
crashing my computer(which only
crashes in cubase). I don't get how they
work though, hopefully someone can clarify:
do they let you send as many channels as
your setup has(like in cubase), or do they
only have sixteen channels that have to be
spread between your synths? And do they
have multiple outputs or do you still need a
patchbay/interface. Does anyone know of
an XoX style midi sequencer?

Oh, and about that VFXsd. I've had one(my
first) and it was the single worst synth i've
ever owned sound and editing wise(even
below the foot-long casio I got for Christmas
when I was five), but it's sequencer was
pretty cool.

Last Q: I have a K2000, which has quite a
neat seq in it. Would it be possible to use it
as a multi-synth sequncer?

I wrote it allready on this topic:

The MAM-SQ16 is an XoX style Midi Sequencer. You have 8 channels for drum sounds. And 3 or 4 Channels for some other Synths. And you have the same Step Sequenzing optinons like the TB 303 have. Plus some more.

Ore you use the Future Retro M�bius.
Its also an TB like sequencer already used in the FR-777.
Check it out at: www.future-retro.com

Or if you want to spend some more on it , check the MPC. 2xMIDIins + 2xMIDIouts = 32ch And ,I believe,16 tracks for samples. But it's been spoken of in this very thread.....

Sorry I didn't specify. I don't really like
303 type sequencers. By XoX I
meant 808 or 909. Anything with a
button for every step(and maybe even
a nudge function to move notes to
32nd's between the steps??). Oh
well, guess I'll have to try to make it
someday. I guess the Mc 303 is my
only option there, but I don't think I
could bring myself to get one of
those. Or does that MAM thing have
step buttons also? I couldn't any
pics of it online, just info.

Oh, and if this double posts, sorry,
it's been happening to me a lot lately.

Check out the Korg ER-1. The ER-1 is perfect for MIDI sequencing. 16 step 808/909 style sequencing. Shuffle, 32nd's, all you can ask for. PLUS...you get all the sounds from the ER-1 which are very fat and very useful. I'd never get rid of my ER-1 for sequencing reasons and cause the sounds are so raw. I use it to sequence my Drum Station and have no problems what so ever. I also have an EA-1 and the sequencer on it is also fucking wicked. I use it to sequence my Juno's, CZ-101, BassStation, TX81z, Microcon II, etc. PLUS...again, the internal sounds are fucking killer. And the price...unfucking beatable.

Just my 2 cents
