I don't understand the terminology.
You can define a single bar MIDI pattern, then stretch the part out and the pattern will repeat.

Ah... So sequencing short MIDI sequences. MU.LAB (a) lets you make lots of sequences and name them and (b) lets you decide where in a timeline they should play. Sounds similar?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking for something very much like the old hardware sequencers, but in a modern form. The Alesis MMT-8 was a good one, and the Roland MC-50 was great--try different ideas on any parts of a song and drop them in anywhere until you got the arrangement you wanted. I have Sonar 8.5, and the latest Reaper, and Mixcraft, but they are all linear, and a pain to try and use patterns. I'll give the Mu.lab demo a go. Do you guys know if it can be rewired? Thanks again!

I think these days it's all much of a muchness. Whether a sequencer strikes us as linear or not is largely a GUI matter (not that GUI is unimportant). I've even been known to use Logic, a flagship 'linear' host in a very pattern-based way with much success!
Pattern based in my mind means being able to loop sequences (notes, automation and all) hasslefree for any given length of time whilst progressing through the tune.
Strictly linear for me would be a host that doesn't have an option to create ghost copies of objects.
Then of course there are oddballs like Renoise; I wouldn't call Renoise linar by any means.

You can use MU.LAB as a ReWire host, not as a slave. And I don't remember if that feature is in the Free version -- check the feature list on www.mulab.com (he says, hoping there is oneMilt wrote:Do you guys know if it can be rewired?

Rewire status of MULAB Free and unlimited.
"MU.LAB Free (which is free to everyone!) has a 6 track limit, can only mixdown in 16 Bit and only supports 1 mono out for ReWired devices."
"MU.LAB Unlimited on the other hand can do unlimited tracks, can also mixdown in 32 Bit for more extensive musical productions, and supports all available audio outputs for ReWired devices!"
