Just put this together. I have not really worked in open mode that 
much, and wanted to try it. So I recorded a lot of small 2 bar 
sequences using Music Mouse on one of my other ST's going into my 
falcon running KCS.. Then I would take go into EDIT, select the first 
track,then select TIGER from the MPE menu, then change midi channels 
and select a patch from the program list (GM list of 
instruments....this is NOT available in the KCS ver 4 version of 
Tiger but only in ver 5. However Tiger Cub has this))and then from 
the menu select TRACK TO SEQUENCE command. This converted the track 
to a sequence that can be viewed in OPEN MODE. Once I had a lot of 
sequences put together including some drum tracks (patterens)I played 
them from the OPEN PLAY mode.Then recorded my results right into 
Cubase on my TT030 and converted it to midi file, which is the Mid 
that is in the same folder. 

It was such a joy to be able to pick , start, and stop sequences 
right from the Computer keyboard all at your command. I do not know 
of ANY sequencer on any platform that does this. What a lot of fun as 
well as intuitive and interactive. There are probably more tricks to 
this as well.


To check this file out on the KCS ver 4 (shareware) edition, just 
load the program. Then from FILE, select OPEN and bring in the 
MMOUSE.ALL file. The file loads into the TRACK MODE. What you see are 
40+ tracks all filled up. These are the indevidual patterns on each 
track. Don't play it from here as it will be a mess.(However you 
could by using the solo command) However select EDIT at the bottom of 
the screen, and the Edit menu and event screen is presented. Then 
select OPEN MODE. Then the dialog changes. Then Select OPEN PLAY, and 
then the Open Play screen comes up. Hit 0 on the 10 keypad part of 
the computer keybrd TWICE (00) and you will hear a drum patern sound. 
Then start selecting patterens on the qwerty keyboard. You can start 
a sequence by hitting it once,. then to stop it, hit the same key and 
it finishes to the end of the bar and stops. (Neat heh?)Start another 
sequence. All the sequences are in the same key. Each is mapped to a 
different midi channel and GM sound. A lot of FUN HEH???!!

Try creating your own from scratch...this is a different way to 
compose then just linearly as in a track style sequencer. 

I would like any comments.
