Re: MIDI pattern sequencer?



Hi,

I'm also looking for something like this for my video mixing rig. 
Must haves are

1.  Ability to handle controllers , as that's all my mixer responds to.
2.      Some kind of real time triggering, or at least ability to 
toggle tracks on and off

Highly desirable
3.      Small size.
4.      Namable presets .
