always some trade offsā¦
maybe we dont have separate tracks, but you get OT internal superior timing in my opinion
since im working with many hardware ,few come close to it
Midibox seq is great machine ,but it is midi sequencer so you need to use midi protocol and that alone puts you in situation that is impossible to get realy tight sequencing if you want to,best would be for hardware manufacurers to switch to OSC protocol,but that never will happend
Different hardware machines offers on paper this and that but when it realy comes down to clear cut sequencing then you start to notice that your sequencer is floating, till the point it will make difference that will destroy you,i mean it can be nice if you dont mind ,and it can bring some live feeling to it,but it can be very frustrating as well
What use is of more voices,more memory,more tracks while you canāt get one that is tight as daw,amiga,909,808 or mpc 60/3000ā¦dont be fooled by numbers and self greedā¦you do not need more,you need it to be musical and accurate
Next is also syncing,if you realy want to have your machines start at 1,you cant just jump cable from one to next with thru,that wont do!
To realy have it right,you need master sync box with few midi outs with adjustable delay on each out ,and then you need to fine tune those outs respectively to each machine you want to sync.
Otherwise is all a bit off on one machine a bit off on the other,and it is becoming messy,sloppy,sometihng is wrong but you cant put your finger on it,well there you have itā¦
Our brains recognize timing EXTREMELY! well,it might not come at once, but you will feel it subconsiously,and i am tallking milli seconds ,maybe micro seconds differences,depends how many track you engage(cpu load),you can almost notice when cpu clock is making a cycle and there note will be off,that is how hard is to make good sequencer
doubt,experiment,test
