Hi Jon,
if you can get xgworks up and running then give it a try. Power Tracks Pro Audio is a fairly inexpensive sequencer ( I gave you the link up top), there's a demo to try.
Plus the programs AJ mentioned , Sonar, Fruityloops have demo's also. It's so great being able to try before you buy.

As for when you get into creating/editing psr styles, ( favourite pastime of mine, obsession actually) I use OMB software http://www.1manband.nl/omb.htm
it's actually a realtime arranger program, but it has some wonderful psr style editing/creation functions, including creating styles from midifiles. Sequencer for style editing, is not necessary for this program.

best wishes
Rikki
