- And, if you're really cheap: ConcertWare+: 4 voices, etc. (no MIDI),
- InstrumentMaker for Mac, mail order price: $36.
-
- Note: ConcertWare+MIDI is "Version 5" whereas Concertware+ is "Verson 4",
- although these are both the most up-to-date respective versions.
-
- One CAVEAT: it crashes very frequently on my Mac Classic II (which MUST
- run System 7--thanks, Apple), although more so when I have extensions
- (screensaver, virtual memory, etc.) turned on. It seems to work FINE on
- a Plus or IIci (latter WITH tons of extensions, MacTCP, Ethertalk Phase 2,
- virtual memory); I don't know about other "new" platforms, because the
- version I got (cheap one) was written in 1987 I think.
-
- It seems to crash most often on certain dialog boxes (adjust ruler for
- staves, set dynamics, tempo, save as, Play/Stop dialog box) in the Writer;
- Player and InstrumentMaker have never crashed on me.
-
- Also, it comes with some predone music you can play back--and you can
- order volumes of music that's been put in for it. Fun to use as a
- "music minus one".
