MIDI Station Sequencer is now available!!!
MIDI Station Sequencer is a 16 channel, multi-track sequencer that uses the
RTMIDI (Real-Time MIDI subsystem) to communicate with a MIDI keyboard. It
is designed to run on an OS/2 Warp version 4 system and will allow you the
musician to, among other things, record, playback, edit, loop and quantize
your sequences on a track-by-track basis. By using the high-resolution
timer (available in Warp 4) in concert with RTMIDI to playback and record
MIDI Station Sequencer provides a high level of timing accuracy
unattainable in prior versions of the operating system.
Some of the other features of MIDI Station Sequencer include:
- Default of 24 tracks with the ability to add tracks as needed
- Sixteen channel MIDI mixer with volume and panning
- Metronome with settings to use for playback and/or recording countoff
- Track looping on a track-by-track basis
- Endless loop option for continuous playback
- Channel, Program, and bank selection on a per-track basis
- Volume setting for each track
- Ability to transpose sequences on a track-by-track basis
- Track editing capabilities
- Quantizing capability on a track-by-track basis
- Comments window for free-form text per sequence
- Sequence and track data information window
- Full online and fly over help
- Full color control for the track window
MIDI Station Sequencer requires OS/2 Warp 4 with the RTMIDI subsystem
installed (installed by default) along with the high resolution timer (also
installed by default). The minimum screen size is at least 800x600 and the
minimum color depth is 256. Also an OS/2 compliant sound card should be
present in your system and should have an MPU-401 interface. Most sound
cards do have the MPU-401 interface. There are no minimum memory
requirements other than what OS/2 requires to run comfortably. You will
also need the proper interface to connect your sound card to your
synthesizer. Many cards have a joystick port that can be used as a MIDI
interface with the proper adapter. Also you will need to have your system
DART capable for the metronome click.
