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.
