Hi all, this is my very first post here.
I started using
Tunafish recently. It's simple, it only has the features I want and nothing else, and it only cost $30 to register. HOWEVER.... it's just a little too simple. Actually it only has one flaw for what I need it for - it only has two time signatures: 4/4 and 3/4. Seriously, if it just had 6/8 as well, it would have everything I need. It doesn't work to just use 3/4 either, because that involves bumping up the tempo, and the max tempo is 200.
Sooo.... as much as I like the interface, I'm looking for something new. I have very few minimum requirements, and anything beyond these is a bonus:
1) It needs to have a step editor (for example, I'm someone who considers that Reaper, while a great recording and mixing down program, is not a sequencer). See Tunafish for a good idea of what I mean.
2) It needs - really needs - to be able to trigger wav files, because all my drum samples are one-shot wav files. And of course, it needs to have adjustable velocity for every hit.
3) It needs to be able to sequence VST instruments (and use VST effects). I don't play keyboard, I can only enter notes in a step editor.
4) And naturally, it needs more than 2 key signatures.
It's such a shame that Tunafish has everything except the last one, it really is so good in every other way for what I need, and surely it would be easy enough for them just to add 6/8.
So basically, all I want is Tunafish with an extra time signature ore two, lol.
But anyway, that's what I'm looking for. I'm sure there are some costly and many-dfeatured software suites that might do this plus a whole lot more. But I'm not trying to smash a peanut with a sledge hammer here, my requirements are very small.
Any suggestions are very welcome and greatly appreciated.
