- Yes, Bars and Pipes is supposed to do that.

- Also, DMCS is selling for 15 bucks from Creative Computers (I think).
- NO, that was 20 bucks from TENEX Computer Express (reading from
- Amiga World August Edition) Phone: 1-800-PROMPT-1 Fax: (219)259-0300.
- They have a LIMITED SUPPLY.

- I'm amazed that EA is not selling DMCS since it is compatible with 2.0
- Amigados and has so many compositions for it. They probably figure
- enough people have DMCS by now. I bought mine
- for 55 bucks, a year after it came out. DMCS cost about 80 dollars
- when it arrived in the market place, but that was about 5 years ago.
- It is still a heck of a program. I'm going to use it tommorow to transcribe
- some acapella music (sorta ironic there, but singers need something
- to learn their parts by). I love my MT-32!! If you have the dough,
- I think a MT-32 can be bought through Rogue Music (in the back of
- most KEYBOARD [tm] magazines). That is where I bought mine.
- The module is amazing and has many more features than even a
- DX7. I don't even know why DX7's are so famous. They are hard to
- program and they don't even come with 32 voices, over 80 .25 second
- sampled waveforms, a drum set or a 10 level internal-reverb.
- For all I know they don't even support Multi timbre capabilites.
- MT-32 supports all the above. Though it may sound like 1200 dollars,
- these MT-32 modules sell for 300 bucks, typically (becuase they
- are just modules, not keyboards). It would be better to just buy a
- MT-32 and some other synthesizer like a CZ-1000 and use the CZ-1000
- as the MIDI-controller with the MT-32 as a slave. That is
- how I handle my MT-32, through my Akai AX73. I'm lacking a sequencer,
- but am tooo lazy to order anything, even extra ram chips. !-|
- I wonder what planet I am on. He he he he...
-
- Have fun!
