        I'm not sure what *hybrid arts* smptetrack sequencing is -
HOWEVER - I've been using the Dr. T's Keyboard (MIDI) Sequencer Software on
an Atari 520 ST.  It's powerful,  very fast, and evidently the 
best bang for the buck package around, ($540 for the Atari and monoichrome
monitor, $140 for the software).  A recent letter from the Dr. T people
announces a new smpte software release, it smpte is what you need.
Fill me in:  What does a smpte sequencer do that a midi sequencer
can't?  I thought that smpte was a protocol used to synch music or
whatever to film and video.  Is there such a thing as a smpte sequencer?
 . . . . Anybody else out there in netland using the Dr. T's
software on the Atari?  I would appreciate contact:  The thing is so damned
complex I haven't deciphered all the documentation yet.  Just another 
bone-headed guitar player I guess (just kidding guys).
