Hello all,
With all the Linux audio tools around, is there a way to have
the type of sequences/arpeggios like Tangerine Dream was using ? A
simple example would be ZynAddSubFx's 'Sequence 2' patch. I wonder
how Tangerine Dream were doing these sequences and arpeggios. Like for
instance the beautiful sequenced synth right after the piano intro on
'Ricochet'. In those times they surely did not have powerful
sequencers to store all of these for live concerts. They must have
relied on some programmable arpeggio type of function. Is there a way
to have such a flexibility to create similar things in Linux and if so,
which tools ?
There are midi files here to get you started:

Any linux sequencer like seq24 and rosegarden will play those. I've
never seen a midi file for 'Ricochet' , that'd be kool. Lots of synths
of that era had built in sequencers, and analog sequencers then also
did exist, so they used that I believe when possible.
