Johey Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 I recently assembled my MB6582 and now I'm trying to make music. Turns out that I am no fan of MIDI sequencers. Using Ardour in GNU/Linux. I would rather prefer a tracker style editor like ProTracker but for MIDI. Any suggestions? I've googled around, but I just found "tektrack" which has not been updated since 2004. I failed to compile it, but if that's my only option I might be able to fix that. I would like to have something compatible with Jack Audio Connection Kit in GNU/Linux, so I can sync it with Ardour and other MIDI tools. Quote
Hawkeye Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 try www.renoise.com - good stuff! :) Quote
Johey Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Posted January 1, 2013 Is that what you are using for your great productions? It looks pretty much awesome. However, I forgot to mention I'm a libre software masochist. Can't use proprietary code. :) Quote
Hawkeye Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 Thx! I evaluated this tracker a while as I did some stuff on ProTracker/Amiga and FastTracker/PC back in the days... but nowadays for me nothing beats shutting down PCs/Macs and only using the almighty MBSEQ V4 hardware sequencer ;-).

Johey Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Posted January 1, 2013 For real? The MBSEQ is usable enough to replace a MIDI sequencing pc application? Maybe I have to take a look into it then. :) Quote
TK. Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 You've to consider that I implemented a C64 based tracker ca. 20 years ago: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=17422 MBSEQ is the continuation of my lifework... ;-) Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
Johey Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 I have to try that one out then. If it's good, then MBSEQ must be so. :) (I've only used JCH Ed. on the C64.) Quote
