Hi Hans:
seq24 is the first loop sequencer I've really got into. My MIDI
sequencing background is primarily built around using a track-oriented
sequencer.
You don't have to consider a new paradigm, you'll just be doing some
of the old stuff in a new way. seq24 doesn't even really have to be used
as a looping device, you can force it to behave more like a track
sequencer if that's what you want (though I'd just use a different
sequencer in that case).
I like being able to enter events and revise them in realtime, shaping
the phrase/rhythm/melody/chordprog as the loop proceeds. This is seq24's
main appeal for me.
Best,
dp
