But if you know im wrong -answer with a link.

I used OctaMed 4pro with Amiga 500 over decade with external hardware. And after i started to use PC it was amazing -how can be many times faster machine be so helpless in MIDI use? And it was years ago.

After looking couple years i found Ztracker, it was good what comes to timing, but they stopped developing it.
Mean while i used BUZZ tracker only, i like its sequencer but its MIDI out is unstable as hell (other ways amazing program though).

I tried renoise but its userinterface is a mess and i couldn´t program its programmable keyboard shortcuts like i wanted.
-And it´s midi out wasn´t as good as in Ztracker

Is there any choises left? Other than dig my A500 out of the box or using that discontinued 0.981 Ztracker...

Of course i could buy expensive ASIO soundcard just because of (possibly) getting MIDI out working well from BUZZ..

If someone is using external samplers and synths from BUZZ sequencer and could suggest good soundcard, i would be very grateful!

Thanks in advance.. There´s also hope that Buzzle will fix this issue soon. =D

my good friend N'Balu Wokukku is a great tracker
he doesn't know MIDI though so you might want to show him some first

Psycle does midi control, but it has no midi out

never into trackers so if you just mean a midi sequencer (eg. for hardware) i've got 'logic fun' archived somewhere (logic 4) used to be free "educational d/l" on their german lang. v. site only (WHY THEY DO THAT?? :p them and steinberg)

great environment, assignable hotkeys for step sequencing.

The 1.5 Beta, about to see release, has much-improved MIDI (I've been sending it 12 note chords from energyXT and it's been handling them cheerfully) and a completely overhauled GUI (finally a tracker that looks as good as the sequencers).

I know this because I've been trying to break the MIDI on the 1.5 Alpha all evening, without success.

Nice. I can´t wait to get 1.5 version! I´ll try newest Skale now..

BTW. Does renoise need good soundcard to have fast MIDI out?
I don´t know they got it work in Ztracker but they did..
And with BUZZ it didn´t help if switching audiodriver to silence -MIDI out still stays inaccurate..
Same thing with both, SB Live Platinum and ASRock motherboard´s integrated AC97 soundchip.

Don't forget ReViSiT, although still in beta.

Sk@le VSTi will be able to control other instruments in your virtual studio from tracker patterns in the future, or so I'm told. The logic behind wanting to control tracker sampling engine from a MIDI sequencer is beyond my abilities

UNBELIEVABLE how there´s still no decent MIDI tracker!

Best MIDI tracker?
