@octaviu555 The timing is fine (there is a limited built in MIDI sequencer). But whether or not HISE is the right tool depends on what features you want your sequencer to have.
If you're planning to make a DAW then HISE is definitely not the tool, but if you want a drum sequencer, word-builder, strum-pattern sequencer, then HISE will have the features you need.
Greg recently made a proof of concept piano roll you might want to take a look at - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/12030/piano-roll-ui-component/17
I only want to build a midi sequencing plugin, i can run inside my daw.
would timing be a concern like that? -
@d-healey actually you got me thinking, what would be the actual limitations of creating a midi sequencer plugin that runs exclusively inside a daw?

Why would you want to use a plugin instead of using your DAW - I mean a DAW is a MIDI sequencer, no?
-
@d-healey because of the workflow, i have a particular workflow in mind.
i dont like piano rolls. -
@octaviu555 Can you describe what your sequencer plugin needs to be able to do?
-
@d-healey basically it only needs to play sequences of notes and cc's with a precise enough timing.
-
@octaviu555 What are the requirements of the GUI - how do you want to enter the notes and CCs?
Which CCs? - HISE has limited support for CCs beyond the basic controllers. It doesn't support SysEx for example, and aftertouch seems to be broken.
-
@d-healey the gui is not my concern right now.
think of what i want as a midi tape recorder. only notes and basic ccs.
no sysex, no after touch, no mpe, nothing but regular ccs and notes.
is it doable? with precise timing? -

Yes I think so.
My first recommendation would be to use the MIDI player module, but according to the docs it doesn't support CCs. So you might need to roll your own system. Or ask Christoph to add CC support.
