[LAU] standalone midi editor

simple, midi editor. I currently use RG, and it does a fine job, but my question is: Is there, in Linux, a standalone midi editor, which can handle banks, patches, event changes etc... for editing a couple or few bars. I record quite a bit these days, straight from LS into Ardour, but more complicated passages, requiring patch changes, (i.e. Up and down bows, NR and R samples, etc..) and are unplayable live from a keyboard, need to be 'constructed' within a midi editor. As these runs, phrases, etc, are often only a bar or two long, i wonder if a simple standalone midi editor would suffice. (i.e. A standalone matrix editor, with the ability to apply event changes.) I would then record the edited phrase or run, and keep the midi files generated in the Ardour project folder. Is there such a thing? Alex. -- Parchment Studios (It started as a joke...)
