Hi Tim. Perhaps I am using the term control sequence in a different sense to
you, but here goes. My understsnding of the term control sequence is that
one sequence exerts some control over another sequence, so in answer to your
question, this is easily possible in KCS. A simple example of this in action
is sequence 2 setting off other sequences in the .ALL files I uploaded.
Using the event types I detailed in my last post you can mute and unmute,
start and stop, transpose and generally manipulate other sequences from
within open mode. I'm not up on Tunesmith and Music Mouse, but I'd hazard a
guess that you'd need to get these into KCS by importing these as midi
files. Then choose convert track to sequence from within KCS edit mode. Each
track will now be available as a sequence in Open mode. These can then be
manipulated with control sequences of your choosing, or you may prefer to
ammend the original sequences by inserting a few control events. When
triggering off sequences like this using the qwerty keyboard, it's worth
bearing in mind whether you want the sequences to sync with each other.
Unless your timing is very good, you'll most likely be a little out using
the qwerty to play back sequences. Here's a fix to this. Say you only want
things to change every 8 bars. Set up some control sequences to start and
stop other sequences, these must be 8 bars long. For each of these
sequences, set up 2 other sequences, one to mute, and the other to unmute
the 8 bar control sequences. These latter sequences will be the ones you
trigger from your qwerty. If you've done everything right, you'll be able to
bring stuff in and out of the mix, exactly every 8 bars, no matter how lousy
your timing. I hope I understood your question properly, and that this is of
some help.
