(probably also due popularity and open file format) but my midi tracks made with <pick your favourite midi sequencer> are "useless" today, as i have sold my midi hardware and don't even have the sysexs of the sounds anymore... module trackers are like a midi-(step)-sequencer that have samples and sample-player built in. some have effects too, newer even synths... but the biggest difference (beside looks) is probably the "work flow". "tracking" is pretty restricting and you stay 99% of the time on the computer-keyboard (real trackers don't use midi-keyboards;) and record/play/edit your piece seamlessly... in "sequencing" you move more between your (virtual-)midi keyboard, the computer-keyboard and mouse... .andre > When do you use which app? > > ~dirk > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
