Finally some MIDI software for my ST. I finally bought a MIDI sequencer for my ST. I shopped around and decided for 'Midirec-I'. Other contenders were 'Soundwave' and something else whose name I do not remember. The interface is simple and menu driven. The basic features are: record up to 30,000 notes (less with key-velocity/pressure info) playback (with variable speed control) Save song to file Load song from file Built in metronome (really nifty, with beats/measure, tempo control and other nice features) + others MInimum requirements are a 520 ST with a disk drive, either monochrome or color monitor (I have both ;-) ). The system is configured for future expansions such as patch librarians and programmable sound effects. I tested it on a Yamaha DX-7 and a Casio CZ-100 and it works without any problems. The program is really fast, written in forth, and they say you can buy the sources to add your own features. I discovered no bugs, and the price/performance was great. After I decided to buy Midirec I went to the local music store and they were all out, so I mailed 29.95 to the MIcroB (weird name) people and got the program in 3-days (almost immediate gratification). Microb's address is: MicroB Software 1016 E. El Camino Real, Suite 392 Sunnyvale, CA. 94087 As usual I am in no way related, even remotely to MIcroB software, and all the usual stuff, just a happy customer getting the right program for the right price. _jfb_ P.s. Also, this is all only my opinion, and not that of my Employer (or my mother).
