Smack works with any midi sequencer, i just quite like seq24 ;) I also
like MusE. Smack doesn't have any internal sequencer, so gnutronica is
fine as a midi sequencer for it. It's very stable but not very light
on cpu compared to sampling. It is however very flexible, and if you
want Roland TR style stuff it's the tool for the job. If you want
realistic, it's not. ;) If you have any issues with smack feel free to
pester me with bug reports and feature requests.
