- Not to rag on Presto, I am a registered beta user myself; but Ensemble can do
- some really nifty things that Presto can't (and vice versa). Ensemble is not
- specifically a sequencer, it is a midi/dsp performance tool. Ensemble has a
- funky fractal music algorithm that is fun to play with. It was other wacky
- real/time midi modification processes. Delay etc. Apparently, an improved
- Ensemble application will be released with the CCRMA release of the music kit.

- From what I understand, the NeXT still has most of the compiled music kit
- classes and functions in 3.0's shared object libraries. Try copying your old
- versions of ScorePlayer and Ensemble over to your 3.0 machine and see if they
- still function.
