Howdy! Our news reader here isn't working so I've asked Scott
Bennett to post these for me. Please send responses to me at:
zazula@uazhe0.physics.arizona.edu
as I won't be able to read your replies.

I have started work on a MIDI sequencer for the NeXT computer.
The sequencer will have most of the features expected of a
professional quality MIDI sequencer (eg. Opcode's Vision(tm), Voyetra's
SP2(tm)). I will have a short, preliminary, description available
very soon. I will be using the NeXT music kit (or subclasses of
it) whenever possible so that data can be shared between the sequencer
and existing MIDI programs such as Ensemble and ScorePlayer.
Of primary importance is easy to use graphical editing of parameters
(adding/removing notes from measures...) and tools to manipulate groups
of notes (quantize, transpose, copy...).
As I am sure I only use a subset of features of any given sequencer,
you should feel free to send me suggestions on things to include.
I hope to have e-mail discussions with interested people so that this
program can offer what others are looking for. I will summarize the
results of these discussions periodically.
I have gotten very few responses from past postings on the subject of
MIDI on the NeXT. I hope this is because my fellow NeXT-MIDI-musicians
were working on their chops... Even if you don't have much to say,
drop me a line and let me know that I'm not the only one wanting to
use my NeXT to make MIDI Music...
Thanks,
Ralph
