It's been a while since I've used Tiger Cub (I now use KCS with TIGER),
but as I recall, you change the track in the edit screen by clicking
on the arrow brackets on either side of the track number.  Perhaps this
feature is not implemented on the demo version.

Yeah, it's a nice, powerful CHEAP program.  I've made some pretty
complex music with it.  Have you tried editing controllers with the
mouse?  Gobs of fun...

There have been lots of discussions about multi tasking on the ST
lately.  Anyone else checked out Dr.T's Multi Program Environment?
You can run as many Dr.T MPE modules as your memory will hold, and
easily switch between them.  It gives them common access to all of the
sequencer arrays and parameters.  The newest version of KCS (V4.0 or
"Omega") claims that it can load "any" program into MPE, but I have
not tried it yet.  MPE probably isn't implemented on your demo, tho.

Anyone else out there used Alchimie Jr.? I downloaded this from the MIDI RT
on GEnie...it is a shareware (non-crippled) sequencer that appears (I'm
rather new at MIDI) to be immensely powerful. Supports 256 tracks (why would
anyone _possibly_ need this many, when limited to 16 MIDI channels?),
quantization, elaborate grid/piano roll note display, full multi-tasking
(most any function can be performed while the sequencer is playing or
recording), multi-windowed user interface, MIDI file import/export, and
full (though somewhat mangled English) documentation. The authors claim
they've spent two and a half years developing Alchimie, and I can believe
it. Nothing seems to be missing. Registration is only $25. I'll try to
get it to atari.archive.
