Hello Greg

> csq, 
The CSQ-Series (and MSQ too) does not provide song modes.

To my opinion the userinterfaces of mostly all hardware sequencers don't 
provide enough overview for creating songs from patterns.
The only hardware orientated sequencer I liked similar like a 
computerbased one was/is the sequencer in the Ensoniq-Synths. This one 
is really great and it would be perfect if you could switch between play 
mode and write/edit mode without stopping.

For popsong writing I use Logic (I am a Lengeling addict. I started with 
supertrack on C64 and continued with Creator on Atari and later Logic 
Atari changing to PC and now to Apple).
For improvisational and less song orientated music I use Ableton Live.

Regarding the interfaces: I worked with one big MIDI/CV interface for a 
long time, but moved in the laste years to individual interfaces per synth.
