I don't want to focus in seq24 since the topic is more general and more important but I remember this tutorial from Leigh Dyer showing MIDI CC automation in seq24 http://wootangent.net/2010/11/linux-music-tutorial-seq24-part-2/ And > also seq24 has weird volume editing. > As mentioned with NON, it does not support MIDI.
