Just curious, can OctaMED sequence/play back music featuring both Amiga sampled instruments and MIDI output to an external device? It might be fun to have both going on simultaneously.
I think it can play MIDI and Amiga Sound at the same time, there is also option for Aura sound card.
You can choose Amiga Samples, MIDI, 16Bit Aura, Synth as a sound.

Bars & Pipes I'd say. The latest version is available here http://bnp.hansfaust.de/

It certainly can and I use it extensively.

I think MusicX is more straightforward -- or at least it's very easy to get started making music with it.   I have B&P too, but I haven't put in the necessary time to learn this feature-rich package.

Bars & Pipes is still the best MIDI-only sequencer ever made for any platform.

But if you want something a little less resource intensive, Music-X, Dr. T's KCS, and even OctaMED SS will work well.

By the way, can anybody else get MidiTracker working? As far as I can tell I've got all the requirements, but it crashes every time I start it...

OctaMED is definitely worth a look - great program. Bars and Pipes is also excellent if it's just MIDI you're after.

If your Amiga's up to it, HD-Rec is probably the closest thing to a full DAW on the Amiga. Combines audio and MIDI beautiffuly. I used it exclusively to record a couple of songs, although that was a good while ago now.
