RE: sequencer software

Hi Tim, I am indeed using the PC version.  I will send you a more detailed
description of the program quirks via personal email in the next day or so.
I also definitely want to customize the Kboom tool.  I am also wondering 
how
powerful the KeyKit language is for doing calculations.  Do you know if 
it's
possible to write algorhythms/formulas that will calculate and generate
numerous MIDI files automatically?  Or do I have to either select a 
function
under the track menu in Kboom or manually click each box on the grid to
specify on notes and then grab the tracks with the group tool to output 
MIDI
files?  I can get into more detail if you wish, but suffice to say that I
need to generate a *few thousand* rhythm loops.  If KeyKit can do this with
the right code that would be great.  If not, I need to ask my computer whiz
friend to program something in C++ to write MIDI files.  What do you think?

Tim

If you're talking about the Mac version of KeyKit, I can't help much,
but if you're talking about the PC (Windows) version, I can probably
help solve any stability problems you're seeing.  Send me email with
details of the problems you're having.

The Kboom tool in KeyKit is very close to what you're describing.
I can help modify it for some of the things you mentioned
(e.g. it has menu items for 'every other beat' and some other
patterns, and I can show you how to extend it in that area).

Keykit doesn't do notation, though, only piano-roll
and matrix-like things.
