In Reply to: Sequence playback on the QSR posted by Stephen on February 23, 2000 at 19:40:59:
: I'm considering replacing my S4 and Soundbrush (Roland MIDI file player) with the QSR. Would appreciate feedback from those that have used the sequence playback features of the QSR.
: Is playback reliable? Can you cue up the next song while the current one is playing? Is it difficult to access songs quickly with so few buttons on the QSR.
: Thanks

I find that the QSR is great for playing midi sequences. My only gripe with the QSR is it's awqwardness in selecting sequences. The spin wheel tends to be a little too sensative and there is no way to que up the next sequence.
The QS8 is a lot easier for playing sequences for live performances, though this too does not posess the function of pre-queing.
Word of advice, make sure if you are scoring to make the last two to three measures whole notes and the last a whole rest. Set the tempo of these measure to go from about 100 bpm to 1 bpm. This will allow for a natural fadeout effect without the need to do this manually.
