OS/2: MIDI-Station Sequencer 2.2

With great multi-track editors for both Linux and BeOS reviewed, we can't possibly leave our OS/2 readers in the lurch. So here, this week, is the review of a great audio editor / multi-track recorder for OS/2: MIDI-Station Sequencer 2.2.

This is the second version of a full featured multi-track sequencer for OS/2 including 32 tracks with ability to add as needed, MIDI mixer, metronome, full track-editing, quantization, step-recording, rhythm editor, MIDI-Thru, MIDI delay, Piano Roll module and many other excellent features. In short this is about the most advanced sequencer available for OS/2 Warp 4!

Written by Christopher Hodges, this 2.2 Mbyte download is a shareware version that you can get either from the website or from The Shareware Music Machine

Some of the newer features in the latest release include real-time MIDI processing. The development of the Real-Time MIDI Subsystem (RTMIDI) has provided the ability to send MIDI bytes through the MPU port of a soundcard ,receive MIDI bytes through a souncard and have millisecond accurate timestamping of those bytes among many other things.

So in other words MIDI sequencing under OS/2 isn't just a possibility, it's now a reality! Add to the RTMIDI subsystem the development of the high-resolution timer that has a 1 millisecond accuracy and OS/2 now becomes a solid real-time MIDI capable operating system. All this is made possible by the MIDI-Station Sequencer.

Setup and system requirements aren't a big deal. For RTMIDI and other setup instructions, visit here and for any other information regarding licensing, registration and purchase, visit the website.

This application promises to be a complete music workstation with lots of advanced features for the music afficiando. So go ahead and enjoy this application without worrying about OS compatibilites and availability!
