Anyhow this looks to be a good forum I hope midi remains the key focus on here (as it should) It is not a good advert for Midi that we are have three midi only sequencers available that users have made to deal with the bloat ware problem.I have been using sequencers since the late 80s. Trying every trick in the book to get sequencers to run without timing issues etc
I think it is easy to overlook the seriousness of the situation that now after 27 years or so of midi sequencers since the atari (give or take a year or two) the market leading sequencers run erratically and demand we become computer experts.
I would like to thank people for their replies and I will be trying to run the sequencers to see if they can replace the absurd situation with both Cubase and Ableton. Surely someone can make a basic midi sequencer as simple as the Atari versions of Cubase etc Thank you can anyone help? I have even spoke to programmers. Is it really that much to be asking for? Less bloatware well actually no bloat wear, no audio ,just the ability to arrange midi. Steinberg will not answer any questions regards a midi only sequencer so I am sick of trying to find a good soultion. Jerky etc etc I know my stuff to have tried everything. I am struggling along with Cubase Elements, it is good time wise but still rubbish really.
It seems we are forced to buy software with 90 percent more on it than we need.
I would pay good money to have a simple rock solid sequencer that had no bloatware /No latency/ no silly softsynths etc I have been using midi for many years and I am one of many who really miss the Atari for its ease of use ,as a result of its basic but powerful midi only sequencing.
