I am interested in interfacing a synthesizer (probably a DX7) to a
computer (IIe, PC etc.). I am beginning to understand what I need to
do hardware-wise, I am still confused as to what software is available
currently, and of what it is capable.
How many tracks can I control? How many voices can be controlled
simultaneously on an instrument such as the DX7, and to what degree of
independence? How versatile are these programs musically? Is there
a void here software-wise?
I appreciate any response,
Don

Tons of hardware and software is out and more arrives daily. If anyone is interested, pick up a copy of any issue of Keyboard magazine and look at ads galore. If anyone needs more information they can post questions to net.music.synth or myself. -- Synthetically, Shane A.
