Thanks, mate. I think "not too bad", is very much where I am at the moment

<br><br>I was thinking about you and using the Triton/Karma sequencers. When I was in a band, actually playing music, I used a Yamaha W7 workstation. This was the grandaddy of the Motif that was made at the same as the Trinity. Its much like the Triton in some ways (although not nearly as good). At first I tried to make sequenced music using the sequencer on that, and found it very difficult. Then I got my Triton and tried again with the sequencer of that, still no great progress

Then I bought some VA synths and found that I really needed to get a PC sequencer to control all this stuff, and I bought a copy of Cubase. Wow, then it all took off, 'cos I then only had difficulty with the music not with the sequencing. I am not saying the Triton/Karma sequencer is bad or anything, that really would be contraversial

But I found using a PC sequencer about a million times easier and it made the whole process of sequencing so much more "visual" and immediate. It might just be my way of thinking about these things.<br><br>I would recommend even checking out something like Cubasis 3.0 (which I use on my laptop). The Go version is about £30 ($45?), and even that I find far better
for me than the Triton sequencer. Of course you'll need a MIDI interface, maybe a Midiman Midisport 2x2 (2 ins and 2 outs). That'll hook up to your USB port, and cost you about £50 ($75??). <br><br>I have used my Triton in Combi with the "to host" cable connected to my Dell Latitude laptop, and Cubasis doing the sequencing duties. I found this a really great a productive little setup. In fact, coincidentally, if you look at the box that Cubasis comes in, the picture on the front is of a guy using a Triton with a Dell laptop

So it must be the right thing to do, right ;D Cubasis also comes with a rather good manual, and a nifty little song construction kit, which contains a bunch of midi patterns similar to the gift that Sharpy recently gave us.<br><br>If I remember rightly, Sharp actually uses the sequencers on the Triton/Trinity to great effect, so it must be good, but probably only in the right hands

<br><br>LOL, I am not ashamed to admit that I use technology as a crutch...<br><br>Daz.
