I briefly played around with an early version of Dynamic Studio a while back.
One thing I seem to remember about it was that the mouse pointer was frozen
during recording (and playback too, I think) so you could not issue any
commands until you stopped the record/playback mode.  This was a big negative
for me.  Dr. T's KCS and even MRS allow you to do other things during record
and playback, and maintain rock-solid timing.  Disclaimer:  I believe there
is a newer version of Dynamic Studio, so they may have improved this part
of the sequencer.

Texture is a very capable sequencer that has been ported to the Amiga from
MS-DOS.  It's not as feature-rich as KCS, but it does a good job.  It too
lets you issue commands during record and playback (e.g. change the tempo).
A new version of Texture is due out this month, but I haven't heard what has
changed since the old version.
