hi Thorsten looks nice. i think its quite conventional though, albeit with the addition of per-container tempo/timesig. while i wouldnt use the tempo/timesig much myself, i can see its a useful addition. you dont say much about global horizontal or vertical settings. By 'global vertical', i me

Hi! I have been thinking about how an advanced sequencer could look and work over and over again and now finaly managed to come up with one consistent concept that i would like to present here now. A mockup to illustrate the following explainations: http://wrstud.uni-wuppertal.de/~ka0394/forum
