How about an AppleBus<->MIDI gateway? --Chris Ryland

Subject: Re: Music systems on the MAC
>From the July/August issue of \\Macworld//, p. 28:
"Imagine composing on a musical keyboard and minutes later
printing the score of your latest work. Performer, a program
currently under development by Mark of the Unicorn of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, translates music created on keyboards into sheet
music...
"With Performer, musicians can enter musical notation directly
from the keyboard. Mark of the Unicorn will release Performer
when musical keyboards such as Korg, Casio, and Poly 800, equipped
with MIDI (musical instrument digital interface), become available
for the Mac. Using such a musical keyboard, a Mac, and Mark of the
Unicorn's software, musicians will have for a cost of about $5000
the capability of systems that are ten times as expensive...."
There we go again with Macworld's breathless praise.
I'm interested in the subject myself and haven't been
able to find any more specific details. Are any keyboard
manufacturers listening?info-mac@utcsrgv.UUCP (info-mac) (07/07/84)
