First, a man named Don Dorsey has done two albums using an Apple II as a sequencer: Bach Busters and Betoven or Bust. Also, the group Genesis used an Apple II+ to run their ENTIRE light show for several years (at least until they got a dedicated controller) Santana (I believe) used to use the Alphasyntauri synthesizer that was out for the II series (at least I believe it was Santana, I will look it up.) I just though I'd add these intersting things to your post. Collin
