The first thing to understand about midi sequencers is that they make no sound of their own. True, some later hardware units come with onboard sounds that the sequencer will use, but when midi sequencers originally came to market they were a stand alone application (both hardware and software units) and it was necessary to plug the midi output of the unit into the midi in of the desired sound module (there were dozens of them; DX7 (keyboard), TX7 (module) various Roland units (Sound Canvas, MT 32), Korg, and many others. For more information on this subject go to the midi recording page.

All the songs on these pages were written, recorded and produced by me between 1990 to 2000 on minimal ( ha ha - minimal equipment back then easily cost me the price of a modest house in a country town) equipment with Atari computers, 8 or 16 channel desk and external sound modules. First, a 1040 with sync lock to a Tascam 8 track cassette, then an Atari Falcon - 8 track to disk drive (using Cubase Audio Falcon). Unfortunately the Atari hard drive has since died and, although I replaced it with a larger one, I can no longer get my PSI Backup software to load the drive, therefore some songs like "Jimbour" which went out fast due to a competition deadline were unable to be better finished. The Atari Falcon came with midi recording onboard.

These days I use a PC and my favourite software is SAW Studio (www.sawstudio.com) with the Midi Workshop.

 Update

 Well - it's now late 2011 and I have been busy with my band "Coda"playing locally and touring out west Qld.
