MIDI connecting, Synths, sequencing, without computer???

I want to know, if you have only some synths, sequencer, mixer, and FX, without computer, how can I sequence more sounds from one synth, and how to route that, do I need for every synth and instrument sequencer or only one seqeuncer is enough??? I want to make songs live with analog mixer, etc and record them on DAT or maybe use computer only for recordnig.

P.S.

I want to know if somebody knows what rhythm machine Oxia & Umek use, is that TR-909? their bass kick sounds gorgeous clean and deep and powerful, maybe there is some FX used on or some compress I don't know and I didn't found out how to make that sound.

Thanks

Peace & Respect

I don't have any, I wan't to buy:

Novation D-Station, Roland JP-8000, MAM SQ 16 [Step Sequencer] and want to know that can I control with this MUM sequencer Roland JP-8000 and D-Station and some other synth that I will buy or I need to buy some other sequencer or I need for every synth sequencer?

Thanks

The SQ-16 would be perfect. It has the 13 drum tracks for your Drum Station, and 3 left over for your JP-8000. I don't know if the JP is multi-timberal (plays more than 1 program over multiple midi channels) or not. I think it might be 4 part multi-timberal?? If so, you can ssign 3 parts for the 3 remaining tracks in the SQ-16. You don't need a computer to sequence with, i don't use one. I use an Alesis MMT-8 to sequence with.

Ok then, with that Alesis MMT-8 you can sequence more synths @ same time? that is what I don't understand. If I have this Alesis do I need only one sequencer for sequencing more than one synth or I need for every synth sequencer connected through MIDI serial.

P.S.

What you think for track?
It has 13 steps for drums and 3 steps for synth or it has 13 tracks with 16 steps, I don't understand that, I am just new to hardware sequencing, sorry :)

Peace & Respect

13 Tracks with 16 steps. 13 Drum Tracks, and 3 monophonic synth tracks. With the Alesis, it has 8 tracks. Each track can be set to it's own MIDI channel to sequence up to 8 different synths.

thanks, I found one for 15$ in good condition I think I am going to buy this alesis it's cheamper than MUM

Cool. But just an FYI...you can't step record with it. You can step EDIT...but only after the info is input into the machine. You'll see what i mean! It's a great sequencer...easy to use.

I don't need to step record, just edit, can I make patterns like in TR-909 if I want more than 16 steps and if I want make some brake or something or 32 step loop or more?
