I think there is a alesis midi filer and I think yamaha has one, but most hw sequencers would work just like a recorder, like a mmt

slp- I honestly didnt think of hardware sequencers as recorders also.
my face is red.

I probably should have put this in the sequencer forum then.

There have been discussions on the + and - of different models (alesis, yamaha ...) but ... what is the cheapest sequencer that still has a lot of notes??
Id just use the external control (record) function, you see.

you would probably get more notes in a midi data recorder like an alesis datadisk or a yamaha mdf (? i think thats what theyre called) than a sequencer
according to ebay the datadisk and the mmt8 are both about Ł50 but ive defo seen them cheaper- i think i got my datadisk for Ł30
it seems the yamaha qx sequencers go for less or the same as an mmt8 and many of them have built in floppy drives (which the mmt8 doesnt)

tkans a lot man !
thats exactly what I was looking for - I often forget to turn everything on, when noodling inspiration strikes, and its lost isnt it, when yore not recording anything.

Its alsmost like it only happens when Im wanking about.

I wasnt going to buy another sequencer, I really just wanna record. Havent found the yamaha MDF though.

i dont know anything about the yamaha mdf (midi data filer) but if its like the alesis datadisk it can record a sequence of midi but you cant edit it- you would need a sequencer for that- or later re-record it from datadisk into a computer (i think it sends out midi clock to sync stuff)

if it is considerably cheaper than a standard sequencer, then its the thing I need.
just recording at the push of a button - fire up the pc later, edit and tweak

cheers
