Amiga MIDI sequencer?

[Ral-Clan]

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.

+1 for B&P

But ral-clan, I don't understand what you mean about it being resource intensive - it ran fine on my plain 68000 with 2MB of RAM!

Well, it's not resource intensive by today's standards, but I read on the B&P mailing list years ago that B&P wouldn't run well on a 68000 machine.  I've always used in on a 68040, and assumed it needed at least a 68020 to run without problems.

Nice to hear otherwise.  Do you do complex arrangements on a 68000?

I have B&P on one of the magazine's Cover disks, and I can tell you that did not run very well on 68000. Every time I try to play something, the system would freeze.

While I suspect that it was the 68000 that was giving you problems, I should point out that early on when trying to learn how to use B&P, I experienced a lot of freezes when trying to play a song.

After a while I realised that I had stupidly left the toggle switch on my MIDI interface set to SERIAL passthrough, rather than diverting the signal to the MIDI outputs.  

So maybe the freezing is because you've got some tracks set to output to a MIDI interface, but either you have your MIDI interface still set to SERIAL passthrough, or not plugged in?  Maybe?
