Hi:

I cannot try it, since I have no way to transfer to my classic amiga 2000



Honestly, bars and pipes is highly inferior to free MIDI sequencing software available for your PC.

OctaMED is still useful though as a pattern sequencer and sample playback tool.

and the pc I use amiga forever on, is isolated to protect my animation software.
Thank you though,


What does "isolated to protect my animation software" mean?

Interesting comments. My experience after using Bars & Pipes extensively has been the exact opposite. Bars & Pipes has been one of the best pure-MIDI sequencers I have ever used, even compared to the modern MIDI capabilities built into REAPER, for example (I have never used Logic, though, which I hear has good MIDI implementation). I love the whole graphical pipeline GUI paradigm - although some might, unfortunately, immediately dismiss it because the style of the graphics now look dated (this is purely cosmetic, though).


I use Logic Pro X for almost all my music needs (with a bit of OctaMED, and some Reason), but that obviously isn't free :) But you are quite right it has a wonderfully rich MIDI implementation... Happily I don't need to use MIDI much any more :)
