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.
