little over five years ago Steinberg released a version of their Pro 24 sequencer for the Amiga. Despite the fact that the Amiga was badly in need of additional good quality music software. Pro 24 Amiga failed to have the same impact of the Atari ST version. This was little Of nothing to do with the software itself, but simply a reflection that relatively few people were using Arnigas for sequencing at that time. In recent years, interest in Amiga Midi sequencing has grown considerably and, since many of you will have missed this sequencer first time around, I thought some up to-date details of the Steinberg offering might be useful Pro 24 Amiga is actually a rewrite, rather than a direct port, of the onqinal Atan ST program. It is supplied on a single disk and, as expected, comes with a 'Steinberg key' - i.e. a dongle - that must be present in the second joystick port at all times. The manual is very well written and has good introductory and tutorial material, but the best news is that despite some fairly detailed accounts in later chapters, the manual has been kept to a reasonable size so it doesn't take forever and a day to read. The top half of the main Pro 24 Amiga display contains the track indicators, track selection, record pointer icons NO the activity bars for each of the 24 tracks. Needless to say. the set of tape-transport controls of Pro 24 Amiga look much the same as those found on other sequencers, with each track having a set of playback parameters that determine whether data is transposed, quantized, delayed. hitered or muted As well as a tape mode there is a sequence mode which allows you to create finks for repeating sections and so on A Master track', quite separate from the 24 normal tracks, is also available and is used for storing tempo changes, time signatures and other global characteristics. Losing its way Although there is almost nothing that cannot be done with this sequencer, I'd be less than honest if I didn't mention that I think the package is now she its age. Amiga software, like that of other machines, has moved forward a long way In five years. There's no doubt at all that Steinberg's Pro 24 Amiga sequencer Is extremely powerful, and would clearly be ideal for any user that has had previous experience with Pro 24 on the Atari ST. For everyone else though I'm not so sure. and I suspect that what is really needed is a revamp to bring the package up-to-date.
