Absolutely, the bane of PC (Mac slightly less so) sequencers of that era was kernel scheduling. With an OS like Windows you had layers of unpredictable buffer synchronisation. It wasn't until AV optimised RT kernels came of age after 2010 that PC sequencing offered satisfactory results - by which time almost all of the generative signal code is internal anyway (as plugins, VSTs etc).
