Subject: [korgpolyex] Re: HAWK - sequencer or arpeggiator - you choose
PLEASE KEEP SEQUENCER. (try to have both, even if it
involves either/or switching)
why? i have owned an Oberheim Cyclone AND a Akai ME20a.
i also had a Juno-60, my first ever synth. you can get
bored of up/down/up-down very quickly and there are products
that offer it via MIDI.
the sequencer could also be a way of inputting note intervals,
or timing intervals, or maybe chords. and it could also be
used to run 'off-clock' as well as with midi clock, or accept
external gate triggering (like jx3p/sh101).
The Cyclone was a very complex, pain in the arse machine, hard
to figure out and program via the matrix an 2x 7seg UI. but
very capable.
the Akai ME20a, by contrast was oversimple, but could produce
interesting MIDI effects, like swoooshing piano expression (haha,
i can't play, so...), but the note entry was simimar to the
ex800. it isn't a 'real' arpeggiator as such. and you can get
one of those by buying an Akai mini Keyboard now(LPK??etc?)
how about something a bit funky and 'vintage'? even the old
SH101 has BOTH step input and arpeggiator. that would be perfect.
it's true that the current sequencer isn't ∗much∗ use, without
an external gate trigger to step it, but the basics are there.
just my opinion.

Most of you would have noticed that development of the HAWK software has slowed down to almost none at all. However, I would still like to put an arpeggiator into the HAWK. To do that I would like to ask you all if you would mind if I took the old step sequencer out entirely. I doubt many of you use the sequencer at all. But before I pursue that direction, I thought I would ask all HAWK owners if they would mind if the sequencer was removed.
