Are you familar with Scream Tracker, Impulse > Tracker, or any likewise programs? Hi Manny, I haven't really used Scream Tracker, but I am very familiar with many different MIDI sequencers. However, most of them cost money. If you want to check out a nice shareware sequencer, I'd probably do as Mario Purdue suggests and get a copy of WinJammer Pro. It seems like the most professional of the free apps. In the retail world, there are many excellent options, including: Cakewalk, Master Tracks, SeqMax, Vision, Musicator, Logic, Cubase, and FreeStyle. If you’re interested in making a purchase, go to a music store and get the person behind the counter to let you demo all the different sequencers they have so you can get a feel for them. Remember, in a given price range, they’re all pretty much the same. What it comes down to is getting the features you need to do the job, with an interface that you like and feels good to you to use. I hope that answers your question. All the best, Stan Weaver SCEA
