i'm planning to buy a hardware sequencer to play live
i performed during one year with a 1040 ste on stage but i won't do this 
anymore...
i bought the shaltwerk wich exceted me very much at the begining but that 
i 
can't 
take on stage because of its problems of sync ....
don't tell me to buy a MPC 3000 i'm not rich enough
of coourse i'm looking for the most interesting sequencer for live music

unmuting
changing parameters loading sequences while playing
