Sorry, but I don't have the time to reply to the person who asked about high end MIDI sequencers directly. You are deciding between two very different sequencers. I originally bought KCS level II. I didn't like it. It was very hard to crank out basic material. Step editing was horrible. The manual is not very well written. In short, I didn't like it, and bought Passport's Master Tracks Pro, and I am very happy with it. I have look at C-Lab's Creator, and it looks excellent. Very nicely done program. In another month or so, however, C-Lab's Notator will be available. Supposedly it contains ALL of Creator plus a full notation program. It looked amazing. I think it is available in Europe, so, if anyone on the net could give further information, all us musicians would be very appreciative. If the notation part of it is good, go with Creator because the notation program for KCS (the copyist), lacks in many ways. It is not very friendly, and is very slow to work with. A basic transcription of one of my pieces took 3 hours AFTER I had learned the program. Aside from that, KSC II destroyed one of my pieces for no reason. Go for Creator, or for Master Tracks Pro.... Any further questions, feel free to write me at UPDIKE@Umass. Ta, Damian Roskill -------------------------------------------------------------- These are all my opinions, Dr. T's, C-Lab, or Passport can flame me if they want...... -------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. I myself am waiting for Intelligent Music to come out with Upbeat for the ST, so I can have a Fairlight Page R!
