[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga Sequencer Showdown!!!

kg19+@andrew.cmu.edu (Kurt A. Geisel) (10/31/89)

It's high noon and our spur-clad contenders are face to face.  Music-X,
although he's a bit old and late to the fray has gots some pretty big guns.
But the new Kid in town, Bars & Pipes, is lookin' pretty mean.  And this
town aint big enough for the both of them!

So folks, what'll it be?  I want to hang up SoundScape, and was reaching
for Music-X when Todor Fay leapt out of nowhere waiving something
that SoundScape was meant to be.  Music-X looks pretty solid, but
Bars & Pipes has some really innovative features.  Problem is,
SoundScape had innovative features too but I would have rather
had something a little more solid.  I am interested in comments from
anyone who has compared the two, via reviews or actual testing.

As far as the Amiga goes, this is great news.  Both of these products
have drawn claims that they will put the Amiga on the map in the
music world.

And while we're on the subject, how about the Dr T's line of ed/libs
and sequencers?  Is their stuff any good?

Or, to make the question a bit more open-ended, "What's the best
sequencing software for the Amiga?"  Ditto for ed/libs.  Alternatively,
comparisons of strengths and weaknesses among the various choices
would be nice.
