I do need to add in some code to let me record from MIDI in: right now I use my MMT8 for that work, and since the MMT8's event list editor sucks, ttrk is my step record device, for basslines, drum hits, and other background stuff. I actually have a nice system set up so I can 'upload' ttrk loops right into the MMT8 so I don't need to take a computer to shows. But that's sort of the thought behind ttrk: be a useful hardware sequencer. I can't stand piano roll views, they just don't make sense for the music I'm writing. I usually write electronic dance music where I want to see everything that happens on one beat all at once, and it is _essential_ that I be able to edit the music as it's playing: start looping one pattern and tweak it until I like it. Different styles for different types of music really. I also think it's because when I started writing music, it was using either a tracker or a hardware sequencer (at the time the Roland MV-30). -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.div8.net/billy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
