Comments on: Temper (Win), The $50 Sequencer for MIDI Aficionados? http://createdigitalmusic.com/2008/01/10/temper-win-the-50-sequencer-for-midi-aficionados/ The latest gear, software, and techniques for electronic music production and performance Sat, 19 Jul 2008 04:04:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: ZooTooK http://createdigitalmusic.com/2008/01/10/temper-win-the-50-sequencer-for-midi-aficionados/#comment-377324 ZooTooK Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:49:20 +0000 http://createdigitalmusic.com/2008/01/10/temper-win-the-50-sequencer-for-midi-aficionados/#comment-377324 Regarding integration with other sequencers, I think that the developers are looking into making Temper a VST, just like Energy XT. To midi integrate Temper with other sequencers it needs to send/recieve start/stop - and that is not supported at the moment, I believe. I agree with Niall that the developers are some of the nicest guys on Internet....!

I do know of Sequitur, though not having ever taken the BeOS leap, never got to use it. Still use your Be box? Hey, Niall — thanks, I hadn’t made the connection.

Still use your Be box?

If anyone can make one look at MIDI in a new way, Eric and Diane Hackborn can. I still use Sequitur for event processing - it exposes serious creative possibilities to those who aren't smart enough for Max {like me}. They're also some of the nicest people on the internet, whose hard work kept me productive on BeOS long after most sensible people had moved on to Windows, Oh-Sex or even Linux for music.

But then, that gives us more time to use it. And I do think the people designing the technology do often have interesting, new ideas, even if the actual technology may not be radical each time. Very much appreciate your thoughts and kudos! No, I agree … even as I prepare to leave for NAMM, the technology hasn’t changed so much. But then, that gives us more time to use it.

Its strange but technology has not realy improved that much. I am dreading the day when the Atari dies. However, have a spare one. Hopefully, will see me out. Notator was brilliant in 1990 and still is today.Started recording in 1949,making my own acetates, then mono tape, hifi,4 track,8 track etc till now. How lucky are you guys. We had a lot of fun on the way though.Guess I have given away my age by now. It is interesting that everyone wants more resolution.What for, if 16 bit 44.1 is done correctly for music its great. We go for high resolution then play back on mp3. Does that make sense? Guess you have worked out by now that I am in the recording industry.Peter, enjoyed your music and visual.

Beautiful. ngamoko, you’ve just earned more points than I can count by using Atari + Notator. Beautiful.

Have the latest computer using Cubase. However, still prefer Atari and Notator. Why, there are several reasons.Mostly, because being a musician what is important is the music not the technical side. Atari has a motorola6000 chip, never been beaten for timing.Also,if I can't play it correctly I keep practicing till can.Never, never,fix it in the mix.Midi is great and if you know how to use it there is freedom for experimenting. I do full arrangements up to 30 piece orchestra.Check how it sounds then give the parts out to the players. It seems there are many users of midi who just love the technical side and "playing" with the sounds, thats fine. But, music is my purpose the technical side is secondary.For me midi is a wonderful invention and I find it has no short comings as long as you use it as an artist uses paints. They paint pictures we paint sounds.Most seem to rely too much on the technology and not on playing music. Some of the bands are not very impressed with me as I refuse to record them if they do not have their music nearly perfect. I send them home to practice.It costs me work and money to do that but am trying to keep the standards up. Midi,has no short comings if you use it as the artists brush and paint a music picture. Rely on your music ability not on the technology. Wonderful Midi.am pleased that I have kept every sound module that I ever purchased from the Roland U110 till now, 10 in all.

For now, exporting MIDI tracks may be your only option sadly... @garagespin: Hmmm, doesn’t look like it has ReWire support, which would be the coolest way to integrate with SONAR.
