Opinion alert: There is no legal substitute for the tactile feedback of
a hardware sequencer.
Thanks for the Numerology information, I'll check it out down the road.
Sounds like a flexible, versatile, feature rich sequencer for a very
reasonable price - nothing like most hardware sequencers.
Hey, there's no reason why you can have it all. Once I have myself a
good ol hardware sequencer I can add a soft sequencer too, and for a
heck of a lot less money and a heck of a lot less work. :)
Cheers,
George
