I looking for a good music composer/player program. I have an early version of Concertware, but its limited to sixteenth notes. Ideally, I'd like music software that can manage sixty-fourth notes, and be MIDI compatible. Any suggestions? ------- FROM PSUVM: VM VM/CMS, MONDAY, 8-FEB-1988 16:30 FROM PSUVM: FROM PSUVM: KSN (Peter A. Krupa, a.k.a. Spiny_Norman) is not logged in.

If you can overlook some of it's deficiencies and idiosycrasies, it's a really nice program. 16 channels of output, and unlimited song length (or 999 measures, I'm a little confused here). You paint songs with either of two paint brushes, one quantized, the paints from button down to button up. The paint display shows a piano keyboard oriented vertically along the left edge of the window, with the tool pallette to the left of the window. Vertical dimension is pitch, horizontal is duration. A song thus looks like a piano roll. Quantized notes are 128th's to quarters, with dotteds and triplets in between (nothing larger, one of the irksome things). Lots of MIDI events stuff, can record incoming. LOTS of features. But many quirks, look at it before you buy it. I like it, but I'd like to see some changes. -- Tom Kimpton {ihnp4,uunet}!iconsys!tom Icon International, Inc. {ihnp4,psivax}!nrcvax!nrc-ut!iconsys!tom Orem, Utah 84058 ARPANET: icon%byuadam.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu (801) 225-6888 BITNET: icon%byuadam.bitnet
