Alsesis mmt8 is a great seq tool I use it still live and quick little pieces just because of its ease and quant rate it can be a successfully tool. also an alesis data disk added to the deal make the back up storage you need and can even midi and be made to record the entire system and play it all back on the synths live. It has song mode and 8 tacks per pattern can be linked up up to 99 parts 16 midi channels on each track. Very cool and an easy cheap reliable way to use live gear or fast when you dont feel like running cu basis or cake wlk.An alesis mmt 8 should be only 100 to 150 bucks no longer made by alesis it is a bargain and the easiest sequencer to use on the planet. Alot of real musicians use them. The data disk and the mmt8 are the easiest way to create music and I used them before we had real computers worked like a charm live.
I still use them .And a laptop Sony vaio ...
Peace

i'm sure this is nothing new. but i've been using the midi in/out to
arrpegiate my poly -- the midi out sends the signal to the program
which is set to arrpegiate, which sends a signal back to the poly.
i'm using Fruity Loops to do this, but you could use any good midi
program, I bet. It works really well.
My question: does a hardware equivalent exist for what I'm doing? I
mean, like a little box that you could plug your midi cables into and
select the arrpegiating mode or whatever. Cause that'd be rad.
Also, I'm trying to think of a cheap way to sequence the poly 800 in
a live setting (think way cheaper than a laptop). I had an idea...
that maybe sequencing software has been written for little palm pcs.
and as long as they have usb, the midi is a go. or some kind of
inexpensive little sequencer gadget. help.
