There's a shareware windows program called SEQ303 avaolable from Metaphoric
Software, programmed by Jim Johnson. Being a mac snob, I haven't used it,
but it looks very cool, and Jim really knows his analog stuff. He also
makes an equally cool looking multichannel arpeggiator called ARPX8.

For info: http://www.technotoys.com/seq303.htm

Also, there are a few hardware analog-style sequencers out there, though
the cost may be a bit more than you'd like. I have a Doepfer MAQ16/3, which
offers 3 rows of 16 knobs, both cv and MIDI outputs and a very flexible
MIDI implementation.
