Realm Said: "Any of the major sequencers will do this, though I hear 
Sonar has some of the best midi features, followed by Cubase, then 
Logic, and finally Protools."


>>> I always heard Logic has the best midi implementation... I 
personally have little experience with Cubase/sonar... As a PC user 
I'm looking to eventually move away from logic. Midiwise, why is 
Sonar better? Sonar is appealing 'cause it seems to be the cheapest 
of them all... I might get one gig where I need to do some movie type 
arragement with midi/samplers, which software do music score composer 
tend to use more?
