I am interested in purchasing an music program for my 1 meg A1000, as I have found DMCS, while a nice program, could be vastly improved. Sonix is nice as well (a friend of mine has it), but it lacks the editing capabilities of DMCS (it does have nicer sound though). I am interested in sheet music editing capabilities (similar to DMCS), sound as good as sonix offers (true stereo), midi capabilities ( not as important as the others currently), and possibly a waveform editor for alteration of the sounds (sort of like a synthesizer). I have unfortunatly not been using my Amiga for the past three months or so, so I'm not sure what developments have occured. I also wasn't that interested in this subject previously, so I'm sure I've missed out on some great products. Was Music X ever released? What else is happening in this market for the Amiga? I would be interested if readers of comp.sys.amiga could spare the time to mail me some suggestions for musical programs, including a short description, and the cheapest price known. Thanks for ANY information on musical products for the Amiga.

Both Quest I: Texture and Dr. T KCS are good MIDI sequencers (much better than SONIX and DMCS), but offer NO standard Music Notation. Also Dr. T and SoundQuest offer a large number of MIDI editor/librarians for all major synthesizers / FM generators. Dr. T are stronger editors, SoundQuest's are stronger librarians (but that is a personal opinion). Both are very good products. |... out on some great products. Was Music X ever released?

At AmiEXPO a MicroIllusions spokeperson announced that the program features have been finalized, beta testing is still going on, and the manual is being "written" (not printed).
