Thanks to T. Kopper for speedy reply to my e-mail about sequencers.
I had spent several hours trying to read and comprehend the Owners Manual of the Doepfer MAQ 16/3 this past weekend.
Now you've shared your excitement of the Schrittmacher Midi Step Sequencer with me and I've printed out the manual for it.
Well, there goes another weekend !
To me it's not so much the price as to whether it is something useful for my needs and not easily outgrown ! Thanks again..
