I just turned 25 two days ago. Bought myself an EDP for my birthday.
I
am a bass player and have been designing a rig for performing live drum 'n'
bass-metal-jazz-fusion for the last three years. The EDP will allow me to
get my hands off the bass to do tweaks to other instruments in a live
performance environment.
For a sequencer the only thing I've found that comes close to doing
what
I am attempting is a small homebrewed deal called "MIDI Maestro"
(www.midimaestro.com) which is actually intended to be used by musical
theater directors. It has all kinds of non-linear functions like being
able
to loop a certain section of the sequence until you give it the signal to
move on (via MIDI), in realtime. And realtime tempo change, via a virtual
slider. However, it seems a little unstable, and as I get closer to my
goal
of performing this stuff live, I will be writing to the author to see if he
can implement some features to help me out, since I went ahead and
registered his software. But if anyone else knows of a non-linear
sequencer
intended for live performance, please let me know.
If you want an example of my interpretation of drum 'n'
bass-metal-jazz-fusion, maybe download this remix I did of my friends'
band's (Fifth Letter, www.fifthletter.com) tune, End Over End:
http://www.neoprimitive.net/jlucas/audio/lto/lto-endoverendremix.mp3 It's
just a rough mix. I'm not done with it yet. I just dumped it to two-track
to get some opinions from people. If you are a drum programmer and
interested, the MIDI file for the drum track is here:
http://www.neoprimitive.net/jlucas/audio/lto/endoverenddrums.mid It
follows
the GM standard pretty closely, so it should playback on any GM compatible
drum set patch. All programmed by hand in Sonar 2.1 piano roll.
Sincerely,
Jesse
