Vision approaches sequencing in a unique way, and all of the familiar features of other programs are present, but not as you might expect. What's actually available is rather different. At first sight, there appear to be only 26 Sequences (named A to Z), and the Tracks within a Sequence seem to only provide control over simple selections like Record, Mute and Solo, in addition to setting the Loop Length and Instrument choice. The original Vision was reviewed in SOS quite some time ago, and so this seems like a good time to take a second look. What you may see advertised as Vision Pro is really Vision 1.4, the fourth major incremental update of Opcode's flagship sequencer, and as usual, the release occurs simultaneously on Studio Vision ( Vision with added direct-to-disk audio facilities). But just as I am reaching a position where I can begin to criticise it, along comes the next version. It offers depths comparable to (and perhaps even beyond) any other sequencer on any computer platform, and so although you can get 'up and running' very quickly, it takes rather longer to learn all the nuances, short-cuts and special keys. After nine months with the program, this may seem like quite an extraordinary thing to say, but then Vision is no ordinary sequencer.
