Well, MusicProse (a midi composition/sequencing/printing app) from Coda has been placed on indefinite hold. I talked with Coda Tech support yesterday (after seeing posts confirming & denying this) and the customer support person said "MusicProse for NeXT is on indefinite hold. We have adjusted our resources to focus on our PC and Mac products." OUCH. I had $400 set aside in my bank account SPECIFICALLY to purchase this product. Oh well, I'm sure someone else will produce a neat NeXT midi tool that I can use. Tyler

One is that the Univ. of Minn. student they had working on the port left Coda and they have been unable to replace him with a qualified person. Or, maybe things really are tight and they're just trying to keep from going under. After all, despite the claims of those saying there's a market, the number of NeXTs is still pretty limited, and the number of NeXT users who need music printing is still more limited. Coda isn't THAT big an operation that it can stick by an unprofitable line for very long. (I'm not business-minded person, so I'm really only guessing at this point.) I visited their office last summer and (I don't think I'm violating any unstated non-dislosure agreement) they seemed to be fairly pleased with how the port to NeXT was going. So it's really hard to know what actually IS happening. But, if you want to write, the address is Coda Music Software, 1401 East 79th Streeet, Bloomington, MN 55425-1126. Phone is (612) 854-1288, fax (612) 854-4631. The general manager is Gary Brunotte who, I assume, makes the final decisions. I'd address your concerns directly to him. -- Eric J.

Worse than that, maybe. I rang them up to talk to Scott Wisdom (who'd worked on the NeXT port), and was told that he's ah...."no longer with the company." "How long ago was that?" quoth I. "About a month or so." I'd be willing to bet dimes to dollars that their marketing pinheads simply decided that there weren't enough megaunits of BlackBox selling yet, and that it didn't matter somehow that there would be absolutely NO competition on the current market.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating: Good music composition programs will appear when NeXT makes it conducive--everything's there EXCEPT for a bundled music font. Without that, don't expect to see any freeware turn up (and successful freeware is a proven method for commercial vendors to ascertain interest in niche markets). There *is* a music font in Adobe's collection--Sonata. It was available for a limited time to NeXT developers for a fee, along with a handful of others (not in the Adobe Plus Pack--which for an additional $500 merely gives you what every Apple LaserWriter II owner already has). I noticed that the description of MusicProse (see, this does relate to the Subject: :-) ) in the Fall 1990 _Software and Peripherals_ catalog indicates that Coda intended to ship its own PostScript fonts. That represents a prohibitive (and IMHO, unnecessary) amount of work. If, on the other hand, we look at the situation in the Mac world, the official Adobe Sonata Screen Fonts are available *for free* by anonymous FTP from sumex-aim.stanford.edu under license from Adobe--that's sufficient for an impoverished Mac software developer. Apple may have lame hardware, an inscrutable operating system, and a horrible price/performance ratio, they usually have their head where the sun shines when it comes to licensing issues, and The World's Meanest Lawyers to protect their interests. Apple wants their machine to appeal to the music market. NeXT doesn't seem terribly motivated. Guess where the sales (and profits) are going? -=EPS=-

Also, a company that deals with NeXT harddisk recording >suggested I stay with the Mac because DigiDesign is so far ahead of >what the NeXT has if you want Midi and digital audio. Please no On price it is far ahead of the NeXT. You need at least a Mac II series machine, a large HD, lots of memory, dsp board w/A to D conversion. I can get a NeXTstation ($3300), A to D ($1200), more disk space and still come out less than a Mac. ANy Mac that I would even consider owning (IIci-4meg RAM, 80Mb HD) is $4300 educational + monitor + keyboard. Now add to that Digidesign DSP board $2000 + Deck and Audio Media Software $263 & $721 and you ge a grand total of $4300 - Mac IIci $1000 - Large monochrome video $2000 - Digidesign $1000 - Software ---------------------------------------- $8300 To do digital recording and mastering. If I buy a used cube, a 200Mb HD, and the A to D stuff I spend $2400 - Old cube w/OD $ 600 - 200 Mb HD $1295 - A to D stuff ----------------------------------------- $4295 Thats a little more than half. Now add either a Streaming Tape or OD to back up the Mac. A Mac as a digital recording/mastering system can run $10000, easy. I know someone that has this setup. Remember I'm getting educational prices on Mac hardware, so your price may be more. As for MIDI the Mac has the NeXT beat, but so does the Atari, PC clone, Amiga. So that is not an issue. >FLAMES on that. I know the NeXT's DMA is far better than a NuBus >Card, which is why I am surprised.

I agree with you completly that the NeXT has a great package at a great price. To do what I want I need midi so add development time for that. This means rewritting the harddisk recorder (the companies that have written them won't sell source), then add midi to that and 6 months later, if you really good, you can make music. Also getting a Mac IIci still alows for future expantion. Don't get me wrong I've looked seriously into the NeXT. I do get an educational discount, and I love the machine. I've looked at price for hardware and price for software and asked if I can do what I want on the NeXT now. I was disappointed that the answer was no. I still have time to think about it as it'll be early summer before I can swing the 10k price for what I want. Until then I'm keeping and open mind. Thanks for the different perspective. --Mark.

Hmmph! Do you actually know if some other computer has bundled music fonts? Actually, MUCH more important than some fonts is the MusicKit. I guess no other computer has such a boost for music programmers - at least not free with every machine. It is really quite strange if no sequencing software will appear for the NeXT in 3-6 months.

I think that MusicKit and the DSP are more than ANY regular company has done to appeal to the music market. I REALLY wonder why there isn't much music software for NeXT yet.

If you have the right conversion box (I heard a Mac one will work, but with the new serial port (RS423 instead of RS422), this may be true no longer), you can plug into a midi keyboard. I'm not sure, but I think it can also take input signals from the port, which you could send to a ScoreFile writer, and record the midi input that way. Some one who actually knows the MusicKit can jump in any time now . . . I think that the music capabilities of the NeXT are underutilized and underadvertised, and I hope it's remedied soon.

What about MIDI control/sequencing programs. These don't really require a music font do they? I want (as I have mentioned in previous postings) something that will act as "conductor" to a group of MIDI'd equipment, with nice tight control over velocities, etc. While I'm at it, I might as well ask for a part of the program that will allow for sampling via an A/D converter and serious maniuplation of that sample. I want a combination Fairlight and heavy-duty sequencer in one. Oh yeah, the samples that are created should be, obviously, available to the sequencer and output through the sound ports in glorious full clean, digital stereo. Is that too much to ask?

Just a few minutes ago I read this about possibilities of getting CODA to complete the MusicProse NeXT project: >>Perhaps if enough people write their company and demonstrate a demand for >>a music typesetting product, they will continue the development of MusicProse. >But, if you want to write, the address is Coda Music Software, 1401 >East 79th Streeet, Bloomington, MN 55425-1126.

Thought I'd get involved here... Gary Burnotte IS the general manager, and is also a great supporter of continuing the MusicProse NeXT project. However, CODA now has a new CEO who feels that a minimum number of products on a minimum number of platforms is a good idea. He is the one responsible for the cancelation of MusicProse. PLEASE do not send anything to Gary Burnotte. Send them in care of John Paulson, CEO and President. He's the one to impress. If enough users write him, He may change his mind. Also, another great trick that could introduce pressures on him to change his mind is to send a check for the amount of the program. You have nothing to lose - If he cashes the check then he has to send you MusicProse, and if he doesn't send you MusicProse he has to send the check back. The point is, He'll be getting money IN HIS HANDS that he'll have to send back as a result of his (IMHO erroneous) decision. I'm not sure how much the program went for - It's in the NeXT software catalog. I believe it went for $395.00. If that's not correct, someone please post the actual ammount. -Scott Wisdom wisdom@heckle.cs.umn.edu

In reply to the resounding: I'll buy MusicProse if there is a student price. and I've got the money for it. cries, I've got one response - talk to MusicProse. My experience is that very few companies really are on the net in any way. When you consider companies who's main products are on Macs and PCs, the count is even lower. Now, consider the number of people from MusicProse who are reading comp.sys.next - probably not too many, if they've dropped the product. They are also not too large, and from what I've heard have had some turnover in programmers - maybe they simply don't have anyone interested in NeXTs right now. Go to the source. Drop them a line directly. Sending requests such as this to comp.sys.next is hit&miss - maybe they see it, maybe they don't. They can't very well avoid phone calls, though they can still choose to ignore them :-(.

Since a few people mentioned that they would buy MusicProse if there was an educational price: MusicProse has been put on hold by CODA software - for a number of reasons. If you want to see the app - call them and tell them that you're a NeXT user and want to see MusicProse on the platform - public demand is the larger chunk of what drives software development.

> Just for the record, _I_ am one of those "limited" numbers that would > be very interested in seeing them complete MusicProse. Speak up, > people! Is it really worth it? I mean should we be trying to pull back to sanity a company that is foresaking the NeXT music market out of some crazy hope that the PC market will be more lucrative? I suppose it might be based on the sheer number of installed systems, but what a nightmare to work on. I know, I do it every day. By choice most of the time, but I wouldn't even attempt to do music on it. Personally, I'd rather see a new kid get into the fight Someone that can really do a good job of it, incorporating (as everyone is no doubt sick of hearing me say) a MIDI sequencing option, a sampling and sample manipulating section, perhaps a notation translating/scoring ability. In short, a really hot item that takes full advantage of what the NeXT can do, that others can't. Isn't there someone out there interested in picking this project up? Please?

I don't mean to harp on the issue, but it's REALLY important to call up CODA, or drop them a line to tell them that YOU WANT MUSIC PROSE!!!! They probably do not read comp.sys.next with any useful frequency. Coda can be reached at 800.843.2066 according to some product listing I've got in my DL. Gary Brunotte is the GM, and was the person in charge of the project. According to the net world, the person you want to speak to is named John, and he's the CEO of Coda - he cancelled the program.

I am very happy to see so many people who cast their votes for the MusicProse project, but the ballots are going down the drain unless you let CODA know - trust me when I say they don't even know what internet is much less read comp.sys.next! SO - Let them know!

But - so far they've gotten very little feedback from the trenches, so they assumed no one wanted MusicProse anyway - PLEASE WRITE CODA - THIS IS VIRTUALLY THE ONLY WAY TO BRING THE PROJECT BACK TO LIFE! This project is more than just a music program for the NeXT. It is a visible commitment to the platform which will help to insure our favorite cube (or flattend cube) will stick around for years to come.
