Subject: [AN1x-list] Sequencers ?
hey people,
what would be a decent hardware sequencer for me to pick up to play
around with that is relatively inexpensive. I hate Cakewalk and
Cubase. Too much crap to messa round with and fill my screen. Give me
something tangible in my hands to trigger my keys. Once upon a time I
had an Alesis MMT8, but that's a midi recorder.
I want some suggestions from some of you, please...I'll appreciate
very much.
ThanX,
Darren
