221.0. "IBM Sequencer/Editors" by SPHINX::SAVAGE () Thu Jan 23 1986 18:50

Of interest to those of you using IBM's and MPU-401's:

I am looking around for a good sequencer/editor and have so far evaluated
Texture from Cherry Lane and MPS from Roland.

I'm not too happy to report that the state of the software out there isn't
that good.

I am about to try Sequencer Plus from Octave Plateau. I'm hoping for better.
If any of you out there have seen any others or are interested in my comments
about Texture or MPS put in a reply and I'll elaborate.

I am interested in your comments on both Texture and MPS.
I was so impressed by the ads for these products that I
almost bought an IBM PC to run them.  I did add 64K to
my Apple IIe so that I would be able to run the Apple
version of Texture.  I am currently deferring buying Apple
software because I am considering getting an Amega, but
Cherry Lane claims that they will have Texture for the
Amiga someday.

I am interseted in your comments as well.  I am planning to write a number
of software packages and have been on the fence about whether to do the 
development on the PC ( mediocre machine but mature development environment)
or the Atari ST (exciting but immature) .  Knowing more about the available
IBM PC software will help me weigh that machine better (in other words..
I thought that market was pretty saturated with MIDI stuff..but maybe there's
a hole there ..)

I'm also interested in your comments. I have considered that maybe I could
substitute the IBM PC with the DECs new VAXmate (IBM PC AT compatiple), 
use my MPU-401 and one of these software packages.
