565.0. "Steinberg PRO24 Sequencer Software for AtariST" by SEDSWS::WATT () Tue Nov 11 1986 14:31

    I have bought the Music Studio software package for my Atari 520,
    a very good bit of software but for one major problem. It doesn't
    seem to record from a keyboard in polyphonic. Could anybody tell
    me if there is any software available for the atari that will allow
    this.
    
    Thanks Peter.

565.1And I Didn't Much Care For ItERLANG::FEHSKENSTue Nov 11 1986 21:085
    There's a very brief "review" of the Amiga implementation of the
    Music Studio elsewhere in this conference.

565.2EZ-track.BEAGLE::MULELIDTue Nov 11 1986 21:218
    The EZ-track from Hybrid Arts will do it for you. I have it but
    have not ben able to try it yet because my 520 ST do not yet have
    the TOS in ROM. The EZ-track gives you 20 polyphonic tracks and
    will hold up to 27000 notes in a 520 ST. I got mine direct from
    Hybrid Arts and paid $ 65 for it.

    re: .3--Note that 200,000 events generally means 100,000 notes,
    assuming no aftertouch, pitch bending, etc.  PRO-24 appears to 
    be missing the one feature I need the most: event-level editing.

565.5More PRO-24 infoCACHE::FONTAINEWed Nov 12 1986 13:5319
    John,
    
    	The PRO-24 does have event-level editing. It uses a system it
    calls grid manipulation. You specify the position in the sequence
    that you want to look at and it displays notes as bars showing note
    on position, duration and note off. I believe time is displayed
    on the Y axis and keyboard position (note number) on the X axis.
    I will have to look at the lit. to verify this but in any case
    the event positions can be moved with the mouse. Also on the right
    hand side of the screen there is alpha-numeric info about each event
    including velocity info which can be edited using the 520's keyboard.
    The literature is fairly informative with good pictures of a couple
    of different screens (all extremely graphic intensive and use the
    mouse) but it leaves a few questions in my mind. If you want more
    info there is a company in the U.S. out of L.A. marketing the software.
    They are the Russ Jones Marketing Group. If you're interested I
    can post the address and phone number.

    Thank you, having event-level editing makes the product much
    more useful to clods like me who have trouble playing "chopsticks"
    the same way twice running.  I don't need more information, since
    I don't have an Atari ST, but others in this conference might.
