1274.0. "Who's Using What Sequencers (Sequencer/User Directory)" by AKOV68::EATOND () Thu Mar 24 1988 16:25

	What are you all using for sequencers, both in dedicated hardware 
and software based?  I thought it would be helpful to have a note dedicated
as a directory of 'who is using what'.  This would, hopefully, serve as a
initial point of reference to help new users make contact with experienced
users, to help ongoing users to know who may be able to discuss features/bugs,
and for those looking into purchases to have referals.

	So, to all who use sequencers of one form or another, would you mind
listing the tools?

	How about this for a format:

* Roland MC500

The MC500 does it all for me; haven't needed the EMAX sequencer yet.
All drum/percussion info is stored and programmed on 2 drum machines.
I also work with a 16-track reel-to-reel.

    Update on .7
    
    I bought Rodney's Atari. I have a 1040ST w/Dr T's KCS, in addition
    to the ESQ-1 and the EPS,which also has a rather large sequencer
    in it (which I haven't used yet). ESQ is at 3.5, but I don't expect
    to use it much.

    .8 is obsolete.  Now running MTP v2.1 on Atari 1040STf.

    MTP is great for detailed work, but I prefer the ESQ sequencer to every
    other sequencer I've ever used for speed and ease of use.
