[comp.sys.amiga] midi on the amiga, sequencer, midi access

	I am trying to complete my MIDI environment on my amiga.  I read 
a number of magazines including Amazing Computing and Electronic Musician 
but I would still like advice on two things I need.  I have an amiga 1000
with hard disk and lots of memory.

	1) A good sequencer with at least the following capabilities
		- piano roll style note editing and quantizing
		- graphic editing of such things as aftertouch, velocity
		- MIDI file compatability
		- some way to connect to music printing such as Deluxe Music
		- uses amiga voices
		- would be nice to multitask correctly

	2) A Midi access environment
		- to program MIDI in a higher language like Basic,Pascal,C
			for algorithmic music experimentation
		- I have an old AKAI 16bit sampler built before the MIDI sample
			dump standard, I have a paper description of the
			system exclusive, an easy way to get this into amiga
		- a way to do filtering and synthesis on samples


	any advice about products that satisfy the bill would be appreciated,
	I just don't have time to keep track of every amiga development
	myself.  If there is interest I will post results to the amiga.tech
	newsgroup. I do not regularly read the amiga newsgroups, just not
	enough time. 

	Thanks
