Clay,
Seems I've come full circle as having used Cakewalk for many years I have returned to using hardware sequencers again as I find them more immediate.
For example to program a sequence into the AKS takes as long as it takes to play it and it is a source of many "creative accidents". Similarly the Roland CSQ600 allows you to do the full-on T Dream style sequences in a fraction of the time it used to take but leaves you the ability to change things while it is running (one of the major differences between hardware and software sequencers). Coupled with an SH09 this gives as good as aresult as a TB303.
As for Mellotron - played live where possible over the top although a module based substitute may be used as I only have the one M400!
All the best,
Norm
