I don't know how many people use Apple IIe's for MIDI out there,
but for those of you who do, what is a good sequencer for the IIe?
I got a demo copy of Studio II by Syntech I believe.   Because ti
is a demo copy, it has limited features, for instance, it doesn't 
use all available memory.  At any rate, even if it did, the user I/F 
for this sequencer is a drag to use.  You have to do alot of paging
thru menus to get to what you want and the functions require a two
key command ie. control Q, control W, etc.  I just think it's a real 
clumsy interface so I couldn't justify buying this sequencer.  So 
anyway, what do you use?  I like the idea of a sequencer that is controlled
from the synthesizer keyboard rather than the qwerty.  Some other
features I prefer are:

	Real time and step time input
	Optional auto correction
	A MIDI thru function (input passed thru to output)
	8 tracks minimum with assignable MIDI channels
	sync to drum machines 
	ability to accept sysex commands as part of sequence
	transpose, velocity offset, etc.

Thanks in advance.
