Please can someone recommend a midi sequencer for me that i can download legally for free. The thing is i want it to be totally intuitive and simple to use. I don't mind totally limited features. What i'm after is the traditional keyboard appearing on the left vertically, with time along the x axis with notes appearing as horizontal lines that can be doctored or even drawn. so a note editor, a bar/arrangement editor too, a bunch of midi tracks for different instruments, and that's about it. to write simple tunes and parts for my basic synth setup *without* millions of tiny windows and vst's and all that good stuff. just basic atari amiga stylee but for a pc. i have downloaded dozens but nothing quite hits the mark. any suggestions s'il vous plait? or maybe this is the chance to fill up the board with more irrelevant trash, i leave it to you... thanks in advance.

thanks for the suggestion, this seems to have waaay more than i want. i just want to write e.g drum beat, bassline, leadline, harmony, chords e.g 5 x midi instrument tracks/channels sequenced & arranged. nothing more really, no audio multitracking, no vst's, no wav action, simple 1980's technology style, just midi notes and velocity, nice big buttons, few menu's not many functions but the essential ones. cut and paste and quantize. b.a.s.i.c.
the nearest i found was in traditional musical notation but i hold the record for worlds slowest at that.

thanks i think garageband is for mac, i am only pc (sorry) gonna go back to my yamaha qx21 :(
i think it's incredible that you can torrent ableton or cubase yet i can't find a damn basic piano roll style midi sequencer
i tried anthony worrall thompson but he has something nasty where the midi port should be... there's nothing wrong with being ugly, you can still get the best women it's all down to charm. pretty people are scared of ugly peoplectually an advantage

i just stumbled on this.
sounds like it could be what you're looking for.
"MidiSwing is a very lightweight, minimalist MIDI sequencer. There’s not a whole lot of fiddling to do with MidiSwing because of its simplicity, which means the geek in you will be disappointed but you’ll be able to get to work quicker, and get more done. Perhaps this is the kind of interface you need to compose your tune before importing it into a more complicated sequencer—if you’re the type who fiddles with synthesizers for a few hours before writing a single note, this might solve your productivity problems.
MidiSwing is a Java-based app, so it runs on any system with Java 5 support, and even supports .kar Karaoke MIDI files (if you’re into that kind of thing!)."
