What about MIDI control/sequencing programs. These don't really require a 
music font do they? I want (as I have mentioned in previous postings) 
something that will act as "conductor" to a group of MIDI'd equipment, with 
nice tight control over velocities, etc. While I'm at it, I might as well 
ask for a part of the program that will allow for sampling via an A/D 
converter and serious maniuplation of that sample. I want a combination 
Fairlight and heavy-duty sequencer in one. Oh yeah, the samples that are 
created should be, obviously, available to the sequencer and output through 
the sound ports in glorious full clean, digital stereo. 
Is that too much to ask?
