For any of you with a spare minute or two...

I earlier posted a question about what MIDI interface is best for the Mac, and
it fell by the wayside.  I noticed another poster asked about this as well.  I'm
not interested in any technical breakdowns, which I can get from the salesman,
but simply if there are any bugs or neat features about any of the interfaces
that people should know about; or, which is the best buy.  Also, I've heard
grumblings about the Apple MIDI interface; specifically, what is wrong with it?

				Thanks in advance...

Hi there,


Can someone help me with pros&cons on running Finale on
a Mac Classic II ?

Is it possible ? Is 4Mb internal enough ? What MIDI
interface is prefered ?

Is there possible alternatives to Finale ?

Any opinions would be useful. Thanx in advance.

Kind regards

   Does anyone else have problems with support for Finale? I bought my (academic
   edition) copy several months ago, and the bottom half of my registration card
   had been removed, and my name written on the top half. I assumed the mail order
   company (based in Sydney) had sent off the card for me. But I haven't heard
   anything from Coda, either confirmation of registration or their newsletter
   "Coda Notes".

   Has anyone else had similar lack of response from Coda?

There's a newsletter?  I sent in my registration card a few months
ago, and haven't received anything.  

Two substantive questions for the group: when was the last time a
general mailing went out to registered users, and what is the current
version of the program?

   Thanks,

I ran cakewalk on an old IBM PC (4.77 mhz 8088) and it worked just
fine....  I don't know about a Tandy 1000 (I seem to remember they

might as well buy the card and try...  You'll need it anyway if

I don't know anything about The Soundprocessor, but for $200 you can get a
Windows package called Music Prose (made by Coda, little sister to Finale),
which I am very pleased with. (It lists for $249, I think, but I got it from
Leigh's in NYC (1-800-321-MIDI) for $199.)

I have been having lots of problems with the timing of events within MAX. 
When I say "events" I mean MAX events, which may or may not be actual MIDI
events.  Basically the only way I can get things to work is by trial and
error.  The "right to left" timing rule works fine if the operations to be
performed from right to left are identical.  I am afraid that certain
patchers which I've gotten to work on my machine may not work on others
due to differences in execution speeds.  Does anyone have any suggestions
or at least commiserations?

Scenario: big SCSI disk with two partitions, a Unix partition and a DOS 
partition.  The disk stays into a Unix box which uses the Unix partition
all the time, but never touches the DOS partition except when the user
really wants to do so.   The K2000 sits on the same SCSI bus and
uses the DOS partition whenever the user wants to load/store
samples and other data.

Could this dream configuration ever have a chance to work!?!?

Concert Hall, Music Building, Mills College
Admission is FREE.

An evening of Joel Davel's theater compositions for contemporary
electro-acoustic music.  Compositions are performed one after another
like abstract scenes from a play, frequently incorporating the use of
text and interactive electronics.  The title, _Confines_, refers
simultaneously to our own physical and psychological confines--a
thematic element throughout.

Some of the pieces on the program include:  the premiere of _Walk
Out_, a collaboration with the multi-media performance group, MAP;
_Fences_, for tape and narrator; and _Crisis for the Ambivalent_,
a piano and percussion/electronics duet.

I have an old IBM Convertible (laptop - 80c86 4.77mHz). I am able to run 
Cakewalk Pro 4.0E (DOS, of course) with no problems. The PC does choke on
dense input MIDI data streams so I can't record my MIDI guitar at normal
speed but you can get around this problem by slowing down the record 
tempo. For playing, it seems to work fine. The Cakewalk manual says that 
thruput will be less on slow machines (I doubt that SMPTE sync will work 
on my laptop) but it's useable. It serves as a great portable sequencer.

well, if you don't need MIDI or extensive sound effects, for that price you can

Sure.  On my PC, I have Master Tracks Pro and Encore.  It is emminently
possible to enter music on the Piano Roll in Master Tracks Pro.  Then
you can save the file as a .MID file.  Then you can import the file into
Encore which will display the music in standard music notation.

Alternatively, you can enter music in Encore in standard music notation.

I originally had MTPro and entered one song in the Piano Roll.  UGH!

Encore will print music in standard music notation.
