It's not quite that much, is it? Wait, yes, you're right! Wow!
I've been using Twelve Tone Systems stuff since Cakewalk 3 and just loaded
up SONAR 4 Producer. I'm amazed--it's getting to the point where there
isn't anything it can't do now. I only wish I used it more than about four
times a year before the next upgrade comes out.
Unfortunately SONAR 4 really likes to crap out on my system (especially
when using software instruments like the Arturia stuff---it crashes). But
they just released a patch for SONAR 4, so I'm sure it'll get more stable.
I have used the sampler included w/ one of the versions of SONAR to sample
#805 just to see how it'd work. Pitch stretching is awful stuff - I'd have
to record all 35 keys for sure. But I'm content using the real deal.
Recently I picked up an ARP 1623 hardware sequencer. Now ∗that∗ is
fun. It is controlling an MG-1, Minimoog, and PolySix (the arpeggiator
trigger). Add in #805, and it's instant Berlin School. (Sorry, that's
about the extent of my musical ability. :-) )
...kl...
M400 #805 - instant anything, just add hands
M400 #1037 - wants to go to school, too
