sequencer with lots of note mem

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi,is there a midi sequencer or something that can hold a lot more than
200,000 notes?I'd like to run my keyboard from it with all my sequences
loaded,200,000 note capacity is not enough,I see a midi buddy around with
1,000,000 notes but I think I need at least five times that :-)

Any non-macintosh laptop with a parallel port will do, combined with a
MIDI flyer from MOTU. The laptop can be as old as you want, as long as
it works and runs at least windows 3.1, and runs the sequencing software
you want. Try to get ahold of Cakewalk 4.

Yeah, I agree completely. But 5 million notes? Don't know. Maybe you
could check the lastest Roland and Yamaha units. If you don't mind
swapping CF cards during a gig, you shouldn't have any problems finding
a new sequencer.

I suggested an old laptop because a)they were better built, in terms of
physical durability and b)you can get them cheaply and could likely have
two, so if one is damaged on the road you have a backup.
