Is there anyone out there that uses a 386 based computer for sequencing, arranging, editing, ..... Right now ,I have a 386 running Cakewalk V3.0 and DR.Ts XOR. I would like to know if there are any sequencers you feel are better than Cakewalk. What kind of scoring software is worth looking at? Finally, what kind of music notation software is worth looking at? Voice: 216-473-2624 FAX: 216-473-7032 internet: kobetitsch@picker.com uucp: ...!uunet!picker!kobetitsch

What kind of scoring software is worth ... yes, voyetra's sequencer-plus. i have both cw and seq+ and use each for its particular strengths. for hardcore editing, etc seq+ is better suited. but there are definately better sequencers than both of these on non-ibm platform. vision, performer, cubase... good news is that some of these are being ported to windows 3.0. yipeee.

Neither has notation built into it, although Twelve Tone Systems (Cakewalk people) are releasing a mini notation ($99 list) package to perhaps run simultaneously. Personal Composer, though it has both notation and sequencing, was highly disrecommended to me because of its poor support and other difficulties. Finale is the best Notation/Scoring program available, and Copyist DTP from Dr. T's is good too. They both support PostScript, but Finale allows real-time input/output (wimpy sequencing) as well. --Eugene A. Beidl --uge@athena.mit.edu

That's the first I've heard of this notation package from Twelve-Tone. Could you (or somebody) expand on this? What are it's capabilities? When will it be available? What sort of link to Cakewalk are we talking about? Will I need Cakewalk 4.0, or is 3.0 good enough? Will it run adequately on my lowly 8088? (heh.. this might just be the excuse I need to finally update my hardware... as if Windows 3.0 isn't enough. :) ) ______________________________________________________________________________ Kevin A.

Remde remde@c10sd6.StPaul.NCR.COM |> NCR Network Products Division The only way I heard of the notation stuff from Twelve Tone was by the literature they sent me for Cakewalk. It had a blurb in the back advertising it and said it would be available by the middle of the summer. --Eugene A. Beidl --uge@athena.mit.edu
