Re: Schrittmaker

hi all, does anyone know if this sequencer does a different job than the P3? Schrittmaker FEATURES MIDI step sequencer (1 x MIDI In, 2 x MIDI Out) 240x128 pixel LED-backlit display Fast access to 32 parameter lines each with 16 steps. Parameter lines can be configured as Note, Velocity, Gate, Len, Midi, Add or Ctrl. Play mode (forward, backward, forward/backward, pingpong and random) and speed can be configured for each parameter line. Additional parameters like note length, MIDI channel and controller can be configured depending on line type. 16 endless dials with pushbutton. Skip and mute steps by pressing the endless dials. Step mode (play, mute, skip) indicated by bi-colored LEDs Manipulate sequences in real time with 8 controllers which can be controlled internal or external via pitch, channel aftertouch or control change 0-120. Supports internal and external MIDI clock. Loop function for quick and direct definition of new loops. Sync function resyncs parameter lines to main clock. Stores up to 30 presets Software update via MIDI. I like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dreams so...don't know whether to buy the P3... I would if I would know if it does the same job as the old sequencers...gate lengths, etc... Cheers --- analogue-sequencer@yahoogroups.com wrote: > ------------------------ Yahoo!
