Hi,

I'm a music hobbyist too. I'm not sure but I guess seq24 developpment have been stopped for a while because I (and another person) asked some things but nobody replied on this list... (but maybe our questions were stupid...)

I'm looking to a program called lmms (lmms.sf.net) to make computer assisted music. I know it can act as a midi controler but I'm not sure if it has the feature you requested.

 Regards,

 Stef
