Re: [microsound] Mac sequencing programs

[Alex Young <alex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a cheap program called Numerology made by a small company 
called Five 12, which has modules suited to this kind of thing.  I use 
it as a handy way for abusing cheap MIDI hardware via NRPN programming. 
 It's quite an incredible tool for jamming as well:

You can ask questions on their mailing list and get help from the 
developers, it's a friendly little scene.

Also, Logic has something geared for programming drum patterns.  You 
open up a section of MIDI data in the Hyperedit window, then switch to 
GM drums.  Here's a screenshot if you're not familiar with this:

With Logic 7.1, you can bounce down your programmed drum loops as audio 
files, and turn them into Apple Loops (or Recycle loops if you have 
Recycle), which can be a nice way of working.

Cheers,

Alex
