Hm. Man, I must challenge this statement. "Limited" is of course a
very general and relative term, but in
sequencers I used - FL Studio, Ableton Live and actually even latest
LMMS - you basically can automate
almost any parameter, almost any knob or control you see. I am not
sure this state can be called "rather
limited". It is functional enough for me and most other musicians in
the world.
By automation I do not necessarily mean the software remembering how
you turn knobs - it can be just a
graph. When it does remember your turning, it still stores it as same
graphs, at least in FL Studio.
Louigi.
For filters etc. most times just 128 steps are enough, hardware synth
tend to use just 128 steps even when using SysEx instead of CC. The only
problem can become the traffic when recording data without quantisation
and when not using a separated MIDI port for SysEx or super-mega-much CC
data. Less SysEx even is a problem when not using separated MIDI IOs.
Quantisation can't be used when recording, resp. playing such recorded data.
