I'm on the verge of getting a new sequencer for my Atari ST,
and am trying to decide between Cubase and Dr. T's Omega.  I
know that Cubase is supposed to be the sequencer to end all
sequencers, but on the other hand, I'm presently using Dr.
T's X-oR (as well as their VZ-Rider), so it only makes sense
to stick with Dr. T's, if I want to multitask successfully
between X-oR and the sequencer, not to mention the fact
that Omega is a high-end sequencer in itself (there are
plenty who swear by it).

I've pretty much researched the features of each.  At this
point, I need to know if there are Cubase users who
routinely and successfully use it with M-ROS for non-M-ROS
applications (especially X-oR).  Or if they're happy with
the patch editing capabilities supplied with the Satellite
desk accessory.  Or also, for those "in the know", if there
are things that Omega can do better than Cubase (for
instance, the ability to display up to 3 tracks of note and
controller data at once).  I've heard/read that getting
M-ROS to work successfully is hard, and I've had enough
problems getting incompatible programs to run together that
this is definitely an area of concern for me.

Thanks in advance for any replies, which can be made via
personal E-mail, or as a followup to this post.
