Good (free) MIDI sequencer?

codemaniac · Post by **codemaniac** » Thu May 17, 2007 12:23 pm

Hello!

I'm looking for a good and (if possible) free, lightweight MIDI sequencer for Windows. I have tried Jazz++, but it doesn't suit me.. In Linux I use Rosegarden, and I want to use something as good as that, but for Windows. The PC I am going to use for MIDI sequencing is quite old and has a Pentium III processor, so stuff like FL Studio or Cubase won't work with it..

Something that I would like the MIDI sequencer to have:
1. MIDI Recording - I would like to record MIDI events using my PC keyboard, just like I can with FL Studio.
2. Lightweight - Something small in size and uses little resources, yet perfect for its task.
3. Soundfont support - Optional, but I would like to use my own SoundFonts (*.sf2)

Thanks for anyone who could find me a suitable MIDI sequencer!

Have you looked at http://www.harmony-central.com/Software/Windows/

That said, I am also interested in good midi sequencer and etc software.

Edit:

BTW, that site has heaps of interesting stuff on midi:

Hi codemaniac,

Try to search google for:

sequitur
reaper
jazz++

Linux:
rosegarden
muse
ardour (no midi)

Actually, a lot of german pc-magazines (PC-Magazin, Sound&Recording, c't...) having a special version of Samplitude 8 SE as full version available on their cd's. Maybe this action is not restricted to germany and you can find a similar magazine with this verry professional sequencer?

Jazz++ Is the best IMHO.

The interface could get a facelift, but the features make up for the
lack of eye candy.

I can recommend Quartz.
It's a nice, semi-professional sequenzer and audiomastering tool.
It is similar to Cakewalk.

Quartz is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
I have purchased Sequoia 9 which is Samplitude 9 with more features, hoever I use that for pro-editing and not MIDI sequencing (because MIDI is a little hard in Sequoia)
