brief midi tutorial?

it's better than having tons of stuff you dont know how to use really well
Yeah, that's how I feel. If I was a pro, or had a lot more time and money to devote, I'd probably want a bigger toolkit.

But even though I almost daily use 3 different text editors (Word, vi, and web text box) and a couple different window management schemes (Windows and X-windows), I still occasionally use the paste from one while in the other, or hit "jjjjj" to move the mouse down in Word, etc. Maybe it's because I'm just an old fart, but I get into trouble when I have too many different schemes to memorize, and I'd rather get a minimum set down intuitively than have to shift gears all the time!

So, while n-Track may not be the best at a number of specific things, I think it's just about the best "one stop shop". Almost one stop, that is -- it would need to support loops to do everything. But I don't use loops enough to even bother with a loop app.
