thanks dave! i read your article in linuxjournal
about seq24, which was one of the things that got me
interested in it. i'm hoping to get in touch with
some people who have been using it for playing out,
but even in the absence of feedback like that, i'm
leaning towards seq24 right now (as opposed to a
hardware sequencer).
i read a comment...
http://unit-e.cc/knowledge/index.php?id=MidiSequencers
...that suggested that it's lacking as a drumseq. i'm
not sure what would make it better for
bass/melody/etc. than drums (as the writer suggests) -
any thoughts on the matter?

hey all. i'm considering picking up a cheap
(new)
laptop and running seq24 and a sampler on it, and
slaving some outboard modules, for a live p.a.
solution (as in dance/electronic/techno live
production). it looks cool enough from the
homepage,
but i've found very little reference to it
elsewhere
on the net, and nothing that really addresses
it's
strengths and weaknesses in a live setting based on
real-world experience. it looks like the guy that
wrote it uses it for this, but he doesn't talk
about
it much on the site. alternatively, i might pick
up
an akai mpc1000 for my live sequencer - i
definitely
like gear, although i'm not bent on it. if i
thought
that seq24 could more or less do what it does,
that's
the route that i'd go down, methinks.
i've got an
rme
hammerfall multiface, so i'm not concerned
about
getting sound out of it (although, recommendations
for
a laptop that would work with the hammerfall
cardbus
would also be most welcome).
I haven't worked with it in a live setting, but I'll
testify to its
utility and stability. You might spend an hour or
two getting familiar
with its commands and interface, but it's a very
straightforward program.
Btw, it's a MIDI-only app, so you'll want to be able
to connect it to
outboard gear or softsynths. Or both... :)
Best,
