concept in the OP

Yaiiiee :) ...thnx....xited

Calling all midibox programmer guru's.. I've got a small idea that I recon would be very handy.. (For me at least, and possibly others) Have any of you used the Rolands SH-101's sequencer , or the very similar JX3p's sequencer? They are very simple, basically you press "load" and then bash in all the notes you want. (The SH-101's is monophonic, while the JX3p's is polyphonic) If you want a rest, you press the "rest" button, if you want a tie or legato, you hold down the "tie" button while pressing the next note. Once you have entered in all your notes etc, then you press "Play" and the sequencer plays.. once it reaches the end, it starts over. The cool thing is that you can give it (5v) triggers to advance the sequencer step by step, so creating very complex or funky riffs is pretty easy. I'm a big fan of the SH-101's sequencer, and use it everyday for various roles.. it's bullet proof and it's simplicity is its power. I want this, but done with midibox via midi and a few extra features. -One MIDI in for clock (for preset time signatures, ie 1/16th, 1/8th ra ra ra) or for a note advance kind of sync.. (a pre-defined note message in here advances the sequencer to the next step) -One Midi in would be from the controller keyboard, programming in da riffs. -One midi out, for, well, playing it back. -One trigger in, for the old schools like me that still use 5v pulses to drive stuff. - A few buttons like "Load" "Tie" "Rest" and maybe a few other buttons for stuff like accessing another sequence etc - Not sure if a screen is needed, but it might be REAL nice to see how many notes & rests (total steps) you have entered so you know when you hit 64 etc.. I might be dreaming in hoping someone out here could program something like this.. but I'll be mighty pleased if they did.. Any thoughts? Kind regards Mike
