'the only real improvisation-oriented MIDI sequencer in the world'?
so opcode's vision, m, realtime on the atari st, korg's karma (and countless sequencers built to mimic 'analogue modular' ones) - they were all vaporware?
sequitur owes more to the algorithmic sequencers of the mid-80s than to the 70s step sequencer paradigm. lots of ways to manipulate MIDI and note data once it's been recorded. but i'm extrapolating from the older and less-featured BeOS version of sequitur, so what do i know...
i would love to clarify my careless textual shooting-from-the-hip but you know why bother with anonymous posters.
i'd privately email this guy and apologise for not mentioning M, explaining the differences between M and Numerology, and not clarifying "computer" and "modern", but of course there is no way to do that now.
that's a nice piano roll, but the only real improvisation-oriented MIDI sequencer in the world is Numerology.
ReplyDeleteit also happens to be the only virtual analogue modular midi sequencer.

Yep. I put up a post on Algorithmic Arts here: link.

just don't hate on the piano roll.
