m8, sorry but can't believe it !!

So let me explain why:
First of all Pro Tools is not much of a MIDI sequencer. It?s designed for audio sequencing and it?s much better that way. Cubase and Logic for example are much better when working with MIDI. Have you ever thought why no one who is someone (when talking about electronic music) always use Cubase or Logic? Because they are better and easier MIDI sequencers than Pro Tools is.
1. The quantizing of the RM1X and Pro Tools are almost identical. Though it?s easier to use it on the RM1X.
2. Everything has it?s own knob or button on the RM1X. The Pro Tools system works only with a mouse unless you deside to buy the control unit which costs a fortune. The RM1X is easier to use overall.
3. Working with RM1X is very easy and fast because it hides inside functions that nobody thought when they were designing Pro Tools. It?s really clever when you get to know how to use it well. You can easily edit and/or copy&paste or create automations on anything you like with a few touches of buttons. Pro tools is more complicated. The edit mode in the RM1X is also easy as can be.
4. The analog-style step sequencer. Pro Tools has nothing to compete.
5. You have no distracktions between you and your music when working with the RM1X (or any other hw-sequencer). Read this and you get the point:

6. There are many badly designed functions in the Pro Tools. The sysex function for example sucks. We were trying to make the Pro Tools send sysex messages in our school with about 20 students and one teacher (who wasn?t using it for the first time). We never did...
7. You really don?t need everything on the face of the earth to make songs. MIDI is extremely simple. Just put a note there and there and adjust the velocities and a little filter automation over here. Why did you think they have never developed a completely new system after MIDI arrived (Which was 1983 I think. A long time if you think how fast the technology evolves nowadays). So what do you need Pro Tools for? There?s nothing there that RM1X hasn?t. Without the easy use.
+ I?m about the only one on this forum who really uses Pro Tools (for Audio recording, editing and mixing at my school) and the RM1X (at my own studio for making songs). I know them both.
And why is Pro Tools better:
1. Polyphony is virtually infinite.
2. If you work with software only.
3. If you like to see everything on a big screen.
4. If you use a lot of audio material.
5. It?s more versatile.
6. It?s more accurate.
7. Pro Tools is Pro Tools.
