What about MIDI control/sequencing programs. These don't really require a music font do they? I want (as I have mentioned in previous postings) something that will act as "conductor" to a group of MIDI'd equipment, with nice tight control over velocities, etc. While I'm at it, I might as well ask for a part of the program that will allow for sampling via an A/D converter and serious maniuplation of that sample. I want a combination Fairlight and heavy-duty sequencer in one. Oh yeah, the samples that are created should be, obviously, available to the sequencer and output through the sound ports in glorious full clean, digital stereo. Is that too much to ask?
