I'm exactly the opposite.
I never use hardware sequencers. Ever. I can't use the one on my VFX for
the life of me.
Always software. Always.
'Course, I'd never do music sequencing with a PC, anyway. That's for
surfing (like now).
My music sequencing is done on a Mac.... as it's always been, since 1987
when I got my first one, to this really nice Mac I use now for music. It
rolled off the production line in 1994.
Funny thing, I don't even feel like I'm "making-do with old gear". I feel
*comfortable* with it. There's no sound I can't make and no time-signature
I can't handle (gear-wise... I may not be THAT talented ;-).
But maybe someday I'll get the hang of this sequencer. If nothing else,
just for controlling stuff like patch changes when I use it live.

Hey L if your having trouble using the seq in your
VFX, it because the VFX does not have a seq! LOL but the VFXSD
does.
Anyone ever notice that no computer seq software on
the market today has the Ensoniq Rec at first note down feature? I even had a
chat with Cakewalk/Sonar R&D guys and they were stumped. I wonder if it was
a feature created by Ensoniq.
