Brother entered the Midi market with two sequencers that provide 2 track record and playback capabilities with merge and punch-in / out. Of interest to us was the ability to record midi system exclusive data that would allow the MDI-60 (list $399) to be used as an economical data filer with up to 64K capacity. Sequences or data are stored on 3.5" standard microfloppy disks. Brother also showed the MDI-30, with half the note / data capacity ($299).

The PDC-100 gives you plenty of what you buy a stand-alone sequencer for. Its 32 tracks give you the power and flexibility to control MIDI setups of nearly any size. Its 21,000-note internal memory gives you more freedom to create and experiment. Its 32-character display gives you clear and complete information when you need it. But the numbers are only the beginning. The Brother PDC-100 is easy to use, so you don't have to be a software engineer to get the most out of it.
