Cubase and Cakewalk mostly - and the freaking fabulous free
synth1 dxi/vst. It's a clavia nord lead 2 - for free
- wow golly gee!

have you tried stuff like Reaktor and Max/MSP?
I also really love Ableton Live...

Reaktor - sheez maybe after I have more of the fundamentals
of synthesis down - I understand how powerful it is but for
me it's like being thrown into theoretical physics classes
without knowing algebra.

What's max/msp about?

I have a pretty strong midi background so I tend to stick to
traditional sequencer type proggies

Yeah, Reaktor is pretty fuckin' higher grade... need a PHD
to figure it properly!

Max/MSP is a similar type of thing that uses scripting
languages like CSound... apparently Autechre use it a lot...
and Supercollider also... it's all very powerful, but
FUCKIN' geeky!

aw man if only I'd discovered that stuff back during one of
my extended unemployment remix days - but I had a crap
computer back then.

Now that time is limited I like tools with lots of presets
that demonstrate the capabilities of a given sound generator
and can be tweaked in strange new directions. I just don't
have eight hours to start with a sine wave and turn it into
the sound of Napalm Death falling down a flight of stairs
into an orchestra pit.

I started back in the day with Fasttracker, then I moved to
Madtracker, now I use Renoise.

If you aren't familliar with tracking then these programs
will appear absurd. I couldn't imagine doing a track any
other way though.

With trackers tho, aren't you limited to phrase lengths with
64 divisions? Or at least an even number of divisions? I
remember there was some silly limitation like that...

no, not at all.. not with anything I've ever used... that is
if I am understanding what you are asking.

In the programs I've mentioned you can set phrase length
(patterns) to any number of divisions (ticks) you wish.

Then I have a fundamental misunderstanding - it's not the
first time -

So I just downloaded a renoise demo - do I understand
correctly, that you can use VST instruments and plugins with
this thing? Like Absynth and such?

Renoise would be a great tool if they optimized it some -
the CPU usage is horrendous!

The best tracker by far is Skale Tracker. Its way retarded.
It is the best tracker hands down try it out! The only thing
it cant do is use BUZZ TOOLS, which well who cares right ?
lol it has full dx vst support and its 24 bit.

Thats if you like tracking.
