Hello,
I'm looking into buying a hardware sequencer for live use. All manufacturers rate how many events their sequencers can store in the internal memory. For instance the Roland MC50 can store 40,000 events.
But I wonder what that means precisely. First - do both note on and note off count as an event (so hitting and releasing a key uses up two events)? But more interesting: Say you have a drum sequence that takes up 40 events. If you play that 50 times in a song, is the memory used still 40 events (plus the used memory for the information that the machine should repeat the sequence), or is it 40x50 events=2000 events?
Thanks
