Well, I went and did it. Finally got an Atari 1040ST. Any suggestions as to sequencing software that's available? (I already know all the names - I'm looking for personal opinions here.) Any other s/w nifties that I oughta be on the lookout for? Any potential gotchas using computers in general? Problems in live setups? Problems transporting? What about "securing" the disk drive during transport? Any help will be appreciated. brad

| 1013.1 | For a sequencer... | HSTSSC::LEHTINEN | [email protected] | Sat Nov 14 1987 16:26 | 15 |
Go for either Steinberg or C-LAB as the sequencer.
Steinberg is currently at revision 2.1. I heard there will still
be one revision coming which is supposed to be a maintenance release.
I have Pro-24 and the everything-to-everything sync box SMP-24 that
goes with it. I've been very pleased with both of them. The nice
thing with the combination is that you don't have to load tempo
maps or anything (as with the SBX-80). It all happens automatically.
I have no personal experience of the C-LAB, but have heard good
opinions about it. And their earlier stuff has been exellent.

| 1013.2 | SMPTEtrack is great | CACHE::FONTAINE | Mon Nov 16 1987 09:49 | 10 | |
I've been using the Hybrid Arts SMPTEtrack since last May. It's
a great piece of software and comes with the SMPTE generator/reader
for less than $500.00. I have had no problems with bugs even though
it is a pre_release version of the software. They are currently
shipping a new version which has many new features. I will have
my new copy shortly. Also their sequencer is highly integrated
with their other patch librarian and scoring software.

| 1013.3 | Dr. T's KCS | FGVAXZ::MASHIA | Crescent City Kid | Mon Nov 16 1987 09:54 | 20 |
I have Dr. T's Keyboard Controlled Sequencer. My opinion is that
it's excellent if you want something that does just about everything,
but I think there is a tradeoff in terms of user-friendliness.
It takes a while to figure it out. I have version 1.5, which I think
is the latest.
The only other drawback (for me) was that it had no sync to tape
capability. But recently the good Dr. came up with a separate
synch box (Model S, I think), that takes care of that. Another
recent addition to the Dr. T line is a multi-program environment
that allows you to run other programs (patch editors, etc.)
without leaving KCS.
Also check out Hybrid Arts. There's another Atari ST note somewhere
where I described their sequencer package and some other stuff,
including a 16 bit stereo sampler.

| 1013.4 | Passport Leaving ST Market? | AQUA::ROST | In search of the lost biscuit drop | Mon Feb 11 1991 10:33 | 7 |
Rumor I got from the Znet online magazine:
Passport will be dropping all support for Atari ST in the near future.
Again, rumor only.
