Has anyone ported thier MIDI files from other platforms to ENSEMBLE?
I was using Voyetra Sp2 on my PC and I'm trying to get the files to 
Ensemble.  I put them in MIDI 0 and MIDI 1 file formats.  That seemed
to work to some extent.  The most important thing that isn't making
it is the 'loop' settings.  I doubt that 'loop' is a MIDI command.  Is
there any way to get Ensemble to loop on a track?  How about recognize
more than 4 instruments (like > 50)?  Has anybody found a sequencer for
the NeXT yet?  Ensemble is cool but it isn't as functional as I need.
I need:
	100+ tracks
	visual editing of midi events
	midi event processing (transpose, quantize etc.)
	patch editing/librarian
	on and on...

If there isn't a program out there that does this then I have found myself
a project.  Let me know about any programs (or suggestions for things
to include if I end up writing one...).
