[comp.sys.mac] DMCS Instruments? Other music programs?

cca@pur-phy (Charles C. Allen) (02/01/90)

I currently own & use Deluxe Music Construction Set 2.5 for simple
composing and scoring.  I use the Mac for playback, as I do not (yet)
own any MIDI equipment.  Two questions:

Are there any DMCS Instruments out there that I could get?  I'm
particularly interested in acoustic guitar (classical & steel string),
but others such as banjo, mandolin, fiddle, & brass instruments would
be useful as well.  If only I could use the Super Studio Session
instrument files....

Have people used any of the "new" music scoring/playback programs that
have been popping up?  NoteWriter?  Music Publisher?  MusicProse?
What are your opinions?  If you respond via mail I'll happily
summarize and post the results to the net.
