Totally overwhelmed by non-PC setup that needs a sequencer |
|
|
Hopefully, this post isn't too much of a duplicate of something I posted a while back.
Is there a sequencer that can perform these functions via step-recording easily (without doing a ridiculous amount of MIDI assigning for each song):
chords from a Roland SH-201
trigger individual patterns on a Korg ER-1 and EA-1
set a tempo to a delay effect unit that accepts one (I think this exists)
I've been using a PC with Fruity Loops in the past, but due to space and budget constraints, I may not be able (or want to) use a computer. I do have a Mac, but in order to run Fruity Loops (can't afford Ableton Live right now), I'd have to install it on a virtual machine I'm using for PC programs along with a USB-MIDI interface (those are cheap, though). Hmm... perhaps I could do that....
In any case, is there anything out there that has a really easy step-recording design that can handle this mess of MIDI?

What about an old MMT8? Or perhaps an MPC2000? Or a Yammie RM1x? _________________ ACHTUNG!

Well, I did get an MMT8 a few months ago, but I need to clean all of the contacts inside - but that's just laziness
I'm sure the MPC is a bit too expensive for me, but the RM1x: that accepts polyphony from an external MIDI controller keyboard? If that's the case, I could replace one or both of the Electribes (but they are soooo easy to use). _________________ One Player Game | OPG on SoundCloud |

the MMT8 doesn't do step recording, it's all real time
One of the old Roland hardware sequencers, like the mc-50, would probably do the job _________________ Jez

If the buttons are not responding properly, what you need is probably a conductive material. The MMT-8 buttons tend to show this fault after wear because the coating under the buttons gets worn off - so if you clean them, is't only going to get worse over time.
Take a look at the following page for fixes: http://www.mmt8.com/misc.php _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum
