Re: Childrens' Sequencer Program

another idea might be Rebirth. http://www.propellerheads.se/

I've had quite some fun playing with it. If your kids are into video games,
they will probably be into the more techno/house type sounds that Rebirth 
is
good at. The interface is maybe a little more confusing than 8 sliders
(emulates the old TB303, TR909, TR808 interfaces/sounds), but I think any
gamer could figure it out.
