Just curious. I sometimes use my Roland MC-50MKII, which is great for two things especially: live recording, and its Microscope editor, which doesn't clutter things up with software-style options such as bar lines and clefs - just pure MIDI data.

For most of my arranging I use Noteworthy Composer, but the Mc50 comes in handy every now and then.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I will still use my MC-202 to sequence the SH-5. Probably not everyday, but since I'm not selling them, I'm sure the urge will come back.

hello.............I still have my Yamaha QX5 hooked up to my MIDI setup. I don't really sequence with it anymore, but sometimes when I am just "ad libbing" I leave it on record. If I encounter a moment of musical genius, or "discover" a newfound riff or chord progression I don't have to count on my memory if I want to use it later on. Using the QX5 this way, I don't have to have my computer on either. Sometimes "simpler is better"...........................
