What's a good sequencer (good quality, good price...) for live performance?
 
Guess: there isn't any :)

Personally i would buy a Yamaha RM1X, just because you can choose phrases on the fly and do some tweaking... but others would use an Akai MPC sequencer... And people like Underworld use Logic Audio on two powerbooks, and mute their tracks on their Mackie 328 + 24 extension :)
 
If you want to play live, it is true that most sequencers are "****". This is why Bjork has a MPC3000 on stage, and no computer to control her devices.

wooter is right about the RM1X. It is a good device, stable and its sequencer is quite well made, you can control external devices.
 
I can only agree. Of all the sequencers I've seen, noone lives up to the RM1X and the MPC series.
Like, on my own software sequencer I'm unable to change the loops once it's playing.

Anyway. I'd recommend the RM1X if you want to make trance. You can switch patterns like you switch arpeggiators on a synthesizer and you have a drum-sequencing section too. Now. What more could you need?
