Well I am excited. thanks guys! Consider this thread a success

Um, not sure. I haven't played around with much when it comes to CC messages in Seq24. You can definitely automate controller messages, not sure about assigning though.

Wow Tracker VSTi? crazy cool. Alright I am really glad to hear about Seq24. Sounds like exactly what I want. What I am wondering is if you can assign CC messages to knobs in it (like on an apc20). Is it possible?

Yeah Seq24 is awesome. I used it for my rave set in March on my netbook, controlling a sampler and sound module. Worked well!

I've also used Reaper as a live controller but it was an entirely pre-programmed set - I'm not sure how well it goes with more live oriented stuff. You could always use it with this:

and map tracker patterns to midi notes from within Reaper. I haven't tried it yet but it looks amazing. A tracker interface inside a VSTi!

Maybe EnergyXT?

also the renoise demo version is identical to the paid version aside from ASIO and rendering (you don't need either of these if yoiu are just doing midi)

just old stuff actually.. old versions of cakewalk or cubase
it's much lighter than the new stuff and also more geard towards external midi since VST and stuff was less of a big deal back then

it's kind of hard to get it LEGITIMATELY since the companies only want to sell you the newest version though

reaper is more kind of mixing / mastering and stuff? not really for live use.

Oh yeah... Reaper. I will give that one a shot too. The guy that made Winamp made Reaper if memory serves.

maybe Reaper?

sweet. never heard of duplex. I will start with Renoise but dont have the cash for it just yet. I think they have a demo version tho.

it would be very very awesome, I would be all over it. But yeah look into Renoise and duplex. It might be possible???

Yeah but shit how awesome would it be?

I will give renoise a shot. Thanks I did not even consider that program.
