Help Needed! Midi Sequencer

[Dunwho]

Hi, Im looking for a midi sequencer...not digital computer based, but hardware!

I amnt sure what is good/bad/worth it/rip off and i was hoping that some of you dirtys would be able to shine some light on the situation for me.

My only experience of anything this until now is the Matrix sequencer that is on Reason... i quite like its interface and if there was an actual hardware equivilant that it was originally based on i would love to try and et my hands on it.

Also just out of curiosity does anybody know what UW used up until the laptops became a little more dominant... I think i remember seeing some kinda little black box on the sound desk that the lads would go to everytime there was a drum build up or a synth explosion in the Everything Everything DVD....
... i think i saw something similar recently too...

any help would be fantastic!
Thanks

Dave
