They didnt make a black sequencer did they .They made the black drum machine and the grey drum machine that looks like the sequencer almostexactly. the black drum machine had some 808 sounds that were ok. I never really liked the sounds but the drum sequencer rocks . Well anyways . Prove me wromng was there a black faced version of the mmt8 sequencer I say no .
Am I wrong.
Peace

Ive also owned a roland mc 50 mk2 it was good but to many bells and whistles I ditched it for cubasis and cakewalk. But the alesis mmt8 I keep. I hook to one of my 22 keyboards or racks and write alot of bass lines and lead off of it then jump it all back to computer . There is a miniture time shift to play with but not to bad you have to mess with internal or external sync.The fact that its fast and easy to use make it a music tool.
Remember less is better when making music one doesent want to stop for bullshit like the mc 50 is such a bitch to sync and to write with for all the bells and whistles get in the way.....I suppose its what you like in the long run.But for simplicity and for getting music made thats good fast my bet goes on the alesis mmt8.
For midid not much else forget protools. Cubasis and cakewalk my favorites. Im still not sure about logic. Its sort of screwy.
Who likes what in sequencing and why?????????Midi is alive and well...................

There is a way to arpegiate using a MMT-8?
I have one, that grey older type, bought it without the ac adaptor
from a guy that thought it was a gadget to sync digital mixers
consoles with a DA-88 recorder (it can be used for that too...)
it would be better if you go for the black ones, which are the
newer...
