It's very good. Just be patient with it if you're used to the latest PC
based MIDI sequencers. The SAM's not very fast with the GUI, if you
know what I mean...

It comes with converters to and from .MID. Unfortunately, they're
written in BASIC. The last time I tried to convert a .MID using these
converters, the estimated time to convert was something like 45 minutes.
And since I have something like 20 720k floppies stuffed full with midi
files, it just wasn't going to do.

But but but... I did start writing a C version (for ProDOS and MSDOS)
of the .MID to sequencer files. But I stopped in favour of writing a
decent SAM native-.MID player (which I stopped in favour of moving
houses again!). If you want, I'll finish off the converter and send
it to you. If you want it as a native SAM program, you'll probably
need to wait a lot longer!

Where can you get a copy of SAM Sequencer? I do not know. Persona
used to sell it. I can't remember, off by hand, who wrote it - but I
can check for you. I could always copy the disk and send it to you,
but the manual might be a problem since the package is on par with
PC based systems (almost)...however, someone might complain about
the legality of all this.
