Hello everybody,

I'm new to seq24. A few words about me: Student from Southern Germany,
and music hobbyist. Playing bass in a blues band. Apart from that,
planning to find back to my roots, which were not blues but - somewhat
odd - electronic music with synthesizers. But, and that's the Blues
part: I want to do it live, like a jam-session!

Therefore I'm seeking a "phrase sequencer". Seq24 looks like that kind
of thing.

I want to record a loop sequence, but I want to overwrite existing
notes. (This makes only sense in a monophonic setup.)

So I want to select a channel on my master keyboard, then play a little
tune, and seq24 will continue playing it. (Seq24 being plugged in
between the keyboard and my sampler, or synthesizer.)

The problem is that seq24 adds what I play - it should replace existing
notes. Is there such a feature and I just don't find it?

Originally I wanted to use Softwerk - but this one doesn't compile and I
have the feeling that a "phrase sequencer mode" in seq24 will be much
more convenient!

It would be nice if the "overrwrite mode" could also take into account
midi controllers, so that e.g. an old volume or filter adjustment can be
replaced by a new one.

Furthermore:
- - Is there a function to transmit, but not record program changes?
   (the sampler takes a while, even when change to the same
	program again.)
- - Does the midi channel selector work? I set the master keyboard
	e.g. to 8, seq24 to 1. But it records anyways.

I'm using version seq24 0.6.3 on Gentoo Linux and a M-Audio Midisport
Uno USB-MIDI interface.

Thanks for your time.

   Niels
