Midi Sequencer For Osx, Help! Options

[Ricks]

I just bought a Mac G4/OSX machine but my midi sequencing software does not work with it. I used Opcode's "Musicshop" for years and loved it. I don't want audio softare at least for now. I already have a fairly good digital recorder. i just want to be able to listen to and edit midi sequences i have written or downloaded over the years.

Does anybody know of a good midi sequencer that runs with the Mac OSX platform?

Thanks

Metro SE is $69.00:

Click on "software" at the link above. It does have limited audio capabilities as well, but is a fine MIDI sequencer at a very good price.

Another option is Intuem:

Some swear by it; many swear at it.

Actually the full blown Metro 6 has exelent audio editing as well.

I've found Intuem excellent.

Don't you think Intuem is a little overly simplified?

Have you ever used Opcode's MusicShop? I used it for years. It is graceful, intuitive, and complete. Unfortunetly I have no choice but to change because it will not work with system 10 and I think Gibson, the new owners, have no intention of upgrading it. They refuse to write me back concerning the future of their software.

I finally did get MetroSE working. I bought it and I can tell it will do the job but it is not nearly as elegant as MusicShop, too many screens, way too many bells and whistles and simply not very intuitive. It does have excellent support however.

I suspect that when I get over the high learning curve, I will be fine.

The only other problem is that I must now convert ALL of my my old MusicShop files to SMFs so that I can opem them in MetroSE. This will be no small feat.

There will be no future development concerning OPCODE. So you might as well say goodbye and get on with something new... I did the same with Studio Vision, which at the time had some unique features, I now use Digital Performer from MOTU and am very fond of it.
