Sequencer Question

Just wondering what ppl recomend as the easiest midi sequencer on PC for synths n' why ? - This is for just 1 midi keybrd btw... Ill do the rest in EJ. I guess quantising and accurate BPM control is paramount really.

There's a similar topic elsewhere on this forum - personally I use Renoise - but if you're looking for a more traditional sequencer I might recommend Cubase 2sx - since at least its got native support for VSTs as opposed to that DXi nonsense.

Well i have VST but it looks quite complex.... ive no clue what a DXi is. Just need a record button, a quantise button down to the hemi-demi-semi level and an acurate BPM tempo control. I shouldnt need channels 10 and 16 as i plan to let EJ handle the percussion.

Just in case I misunderstand you:

VSTi are realtime generated instruments - anything for basic analogue synths to hugemongous instrument banks using multi gb.

DXi are basically the same - tho less supported.

And I found this:

That might be of interest, or at the very least the root url:

Lots of freeware stuff there.
