Big thumbs up to Bars and Pipes... thanks Alfred and Lyle!
Slightly off topic, yet not... BnP was a part of my musical "coming of age" as such. I'm now a pro musician and composer... using BnP to learn sequencing in general at such an early time (late 80's, early 90's) was a total boon in my ability to jump right in when the opportunity came up to compose for television and movies later in life. I wasn't a tracker guy, I was more a traditional musician, and the Bars N Pipes approach really worked for me. I used it in college to make "music minus one" recordings to practice trombone and piano with.
I find Logic, which I use full time for work, to be a little reminiscent of BnP...
I still have the original outboard MIDI gear I used back then. I may have to hook that up and play some files from the A500 w/BnP..
Good stuff!
