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
MIDI Track Mixer with volume and 16 channel panning controls
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
Tempo Map
Meter Map - For Time Signatures
Channel, Program, and bank selection on a per-track basis
Volume setting for each track
MIDI Delay Module with full settings control
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
Ability to read and write Standard MIDI files Types 0 and 1
Ability to rechannel tracks
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 a true 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.
