A sequencer is a program that edits midi files. There are several programs in general use: Cakewalk is the most popular. Home Studio ($90) is adequate if you are not doing any audio recording, otherwise Cakewalks Pro/Sonar. See http://www.svpworld.com/cakewalk.htm Yamaha has its own product called XGWorks ($99) which is not as friendly as Cakewalk, but better at some things (entering chord event data, specifying effects). PowerTracks, from PGmusic offers is cheaper ($25) than the others. What to do if Cakewalk does not work with an installed Instrument Definition File Check that the Bank Select Method is set to Normal. To view or change in Cakewalk,double click the Bank column.
