                    SEQUENCING AND RECORDING

   This programs  turn your computer into a multitrack recording
studio for MIDI.  A sequencer allows you to play  music,  record
and play it back again on several track.  Sequencers also enable
you to improve your compositions and experiment with tempo chan-
ges, transposition (chanpng pitch), changing keys, adding or de-
leting notes, mixing and merging.

   Cadenza (DOS) (Big Noise Software)

Cadenza is a fully professional sequencer with a  list  of  gro-
und-breaking  features not normally found in DOS based programs.
This product features an intuitive graphic interface that inclu-
des drop-down menus,  icons,  dialogs and of course,  full mouse
and keyboard support. Cadenza's controller sliders let you auto-
mate  controllers such as volume and pan in real-time while your
sequence is playing. Other features include accurate and easy to
use event edit screens,  SMPTE,  MTC,  FSK,  and SPP sync, tempo
map,  step record,  sys-ex librarian,  independent track looping,
full support for the MQX-32M interface by Music Quest,  and much
more.

================================================================

   MaxPak (Big Noise Software)

   This is an economical but powerful set of five Windows appli-
cations.  First, it's SeqMax: a full featured linear and pattern
based sequencer which includes the graphic editing capabilities,
the multipart support,  and full tape sync capacities heretofore
available  only  in  more  expensive packages.  The score window
shows all unmuted tracks in staff notation to which you can  add
lyrics, expression marks, and then print the score or parts! MCI
command playback is now supported also!  As if that weren't eno-
ugh, it's also LibMax: an easy to use patch librarian which add-
resses a wide variety of currently available MIDI  devices.  And
if your instrument isn't among those supported, the program pro-
vides instructions on how to program  new  instrument  profiles.
MaxPak  also includes MixMax,  a 16 channel automated MIDI mixer
which can be configured to control any MIDI device that  accepts
control change messages. Use MixMax to automate a mix using MIDI
instruments or an external MIDI controllable mixer such as  Mark
of  the  Unicorn's  MIDI Mixer 7s,  or perhaps a MIDI controlled
lighting console. JukeMax: a 256 track live performance sequence
player.  There are settings for looping songs, and even transpo-
sing songs in order better to match adjacent songs in a  medley.
JukeMax will display lyrics on screen. And finally there's Tape-
Max:  a newly added program designed to control  tape  recorders
which  respond  to  MIDI Machine Control.  Control all transport
functions:  play,  record,  stop, fast forward, etc. There are 7
autolocate  positions  and  VTR audio and video edit enable but-
tons.

IBM Windos                   $195

================================================================

   SeqMax Presto (Big Noise Software)

   This is,  in many respects, the SeqMax module from MaxPak. It
has the SeqMax notation editor and printer with its support  for
lyrics and expression marks.  It features drum editing, multime-
dia MCI and WAV support, the recording of sys-ex data along with
SMPTE support and many other functions you'd expert in a profes-
sional software sequencer,  but at an economy price.  Of  course
Big Noise Software provides an upgrade path to MaxPak.

   MicroLOGIC (Emagic)

   MicroLOGIC is  an  easy  and  inexpensive introduction to the
world of Windows sequencing and notation printout, complete with
Emagic's  professional  real-time,  non-destructive  editing and
rock solid timing.  This is not just a MIDI recording program or
just a scoring program,  it's both. Sequencing features include:
event list,  piano roll, and score editing, unlimited tracks and
sequences,  960  ppq resolution,  real-time non-destructive edi-
ting,  various cycle record modes. On the notation side: unlimi-
ted  staves,  lyric  mode  for automatic formatting of the score
when entering.

IBM Windows                  $94

================================================================

   Notator LOGIC (Emagic)

   Not only a powerful sequencer,  but an  outstanding  notation
program, LOGIC gives you unlimited tracks, sequences and staves,
the highest resolution available (960 ppq) and a vast tempo ran-
ge (5-9999.9 bpm).  Create your own working environment. LOGIC'S
modern window technology gives you the freedom to work  the  way
you  want.  See your music any way you wish.  Event list,  piano
roll, hyper edit (ideal for drum tracks), or notation. Group any
number of tracks into folders which can then be moved,  transpo-
sed,  velocity adjusted, quantized and even looped. LOGIC'S uni-
que screen set feature allows you to store window configurations
that can be saved and recalled at the touch of a button. All qu-
antizing  is  reversible  back to the original recording and all
operations can be done in real time.  LOGIC'S powerful "environ-
ment" puts an end to the guess work.  MIDI devices are represen-
ted by graphic objects and the data  flow  is  controlled  using
virtual  cables  on the screen.  No more,  "what sound is coming
from which device on which channel".  Many other features inclu-
ding MMC,  SMPTE, non-destructive playback parameters, automated
faders, etc.

   Notator LOGIC Audio (Emagic)

   All the power of LOGIC with seamless integration of MIDI  and
digital audio.  With Emagic introduced a major breakthrough with
the digital factory.  Compress,  expand or pitch shift audio  in
the fraction of the time it would take other products. Requanti-
ze digital audio.  Readjust the levels of  certain  beats.  Even
apply the feel of an audio performance to MIDI!  And Notator LO-
GIC Audio is the first program to introduce the audio  to  score
streamer.  You can now record a monophonic track (such as a sta-
ger or flute),  and Notator  LOGIC  Audio  will  transcribe  the
pitch, velocity and note duration of the entire audio file. This
does require accurate performance and editing, but it's the clo-
sest  thing to having a music dictation secretary at your dispo-
sal.  Edit audio in realtime just like MIDI data. Anchor for po-
sitioning. Automatic tempo calculation. Strip silence. Unlimited
number  of  virtual  tracks.  Volume,  pan  automation.  Various
non-destructive  editing functions.  Other new features include:
QuickTime support, importing of DNA and Cubase grooves, enhanced
ADAT and MMC support, enhanced notation, and so much more.

   FreeStyle (Mark of the Unicorn)

   Using "takes" in an ensemble instead of tracks, FreeStyle was
designed to help you get down your ideas quickly.  If you record
something you're not sure you like, simply choose "new take". No
need  to mute the old track,  create a new track,  set it up for
the correct channel,  name it,  etc. You don't even have to stop
the  music!  FreeStyle avoids many of the complexities of a pro-
fessional sequencer,  instead giving you a simple  yet  flexible
composition tool. With auto loop record, FreeStyle lets you play
as long as you want,  then automatically senses  when  you  have
stopped  and  creates  loop  points around the measures you have
played.  FreeStyle's riff metronome lets you  immediately  start
playing to a drum pattern instead of a monotonous click. Unlimi-
ted takes, instant notation and printing, graphic control of vo-
lume, pan, and patch names, linear and pattern recording, and an
intuitive user interface make this great for both the  beginning
songwriter and the professional.

   Cubase (Steinberg)

   Steinberg's Cubase  offers an intuitive user-interface with a
flexible graphic format.  The arrange  window  clearly  displays
your music as parts, taking the guesswork out of song construdi-
on.  You can be as linear or as pattern oriented as you  please.
Cubase  adapts  to  the way you want to work.  A mixing console,
conditional music transformation editor,  two algorithmic  inte-
ractive phrase synthesizers,  a MIDI processor, and chord analy-
zer are all integrated into one program. Edit your music in pia-
no roll,  notation,  event list,  or drum edit mode. All editing
can be done in real time.  Even save your song while  the  music
plays.  Choose between SIX nondestructive quantize modes. Design
your own grooves,  or use one part as a  quantize  template  for
another.  Create  custom kits with the drum map feature.  Cubase
files are compatible across all three types of computers. Cubase
will  now  let  you  print simple sheet music (no symbols or ly-
rics).

   Cakewalk (Twelve Tone Systems)

   Essentially replacing  Cakewalk  previous  version at a lower
price and with all the features of the  old  Cakewalk  Pro  DOS,
plus  some significant modern additions.  Here's a full featured
DOS based sequencer with SMPTE support,  48-480  ppq  selectable
timebase,  and  the  CAL language for writing your own edit com-
mands. But TTS has added the Cakewalk live playlist utility, lo-
ad/save  for both MIDI file types 1 and 0,  and support for MIDI
instrument patch names,  along with other enhancements  to  this
top-of-the-line DOS program. The program supports multi-port in-
terfaces such as the Music Quest MQX-32M and the MIDI  Engine  2
Port/SE,  the  Key  MS-124,  and the MOTU MIDI Time Piece II PC.
There are also DOS drivers for Sound Blasters.  The program also
supports  the  PS/1  audio  card  and  joystick  option  and any
MPU-401-type card.

IBM Windows                  $69

================================================================

   Cakewalk Express (Twelve Tone Systems)

   This latest addition to the TTS roster is  especially  geared
to  those  who  have a Windows compatible sound card and want an
economical way to play and record music using the card alone, or
a  MIDI  instrument  connected  to  the card with a MIDI adapter
(included with the program!). Cakewalk Express is similar in ca-
pabilities to Cakewalk Home Studio (without the ability to print
music) and features the new TTS virtual piano,  which  makes  it
easy to play and record music even if you don't have a MIDI ins-
trument. Either use your mouse to play the on-screen keyboard or
the convenient QWERTY map.

IBM Windows                  $60

================================================================

   Callewalk Home Studio (Twelve Tone Systems)

   Cakewalk Home  Studio  is  an economical choice for those who
want to be in the "Cakewalk Windows fold" but  don't  feel  they
need  the  full  power of Cakewalk Pro for Windows.  This junior
program doesn't handle SMPTE and doesn't include the  CAL  prog-
ramming language or the playlist utility of its big brother, but
it does provide the ability to edit and print music in  standard
notation.  And  Cakewalk  Home Studio now handles lyrics and you
can see the lyrics scroll,  teleprompter style,  as the sequence
plays.  And just as in Cakewalk Pro, you can embed and play back
WAV files.  The faders screen faders are also not assignable  as
in Cakewalk Pro.  Almost all of the generous complement of Cake-
walk editing functions which so many users  have  welcomed  over
the years are included.  Also includes an on-screen virtual pia-
no, with which you can play (and record into Cakewalk) with your
mouse or with a convenient QWERTY keyboard mapping.

IBM Windows                  $90

================================================================

   Cakewalk Pro (Twelve Tone Systems)

   Cakewalk Pro  for  Windows makes high-powered sequencing easy
to learn and use. This version of the program includes an expan-
ded notation view screen which allows on-screen editing in staff
notation format:  notes from multiple tracks in  both  bass  and
treble clefs are displayed. You can insert and delete notes with
the mouse.  Create (and print) a score of up to 24  staves  (and
Cakewalk now supports the inclusion of lyrics.) The program fea-
tures the piano roll,  measure, event list, and controller views
which  are exported in any professional software sequencer;  and
WAV files, MCI commands, patch changes, and MIDI controller mes-
sages  -  including Bank Change - are easily placed wherever you
want them in your music.  Punch in and out as many times as  you
choose during playback.  You can add,  move, or delete events in
the piano roll,  staff,  and controller views, also during play-
back.  No  longer  do you need to stop,  edit,  and then restart
play.  Groove quantization, MIDI Machine Control, custom instru-
ment  definitions,  and  ample  faders view (with 32 faders,  64
knobs,  and 32 note buttons),  percussion note editing, and full
GS/GM  compatibility are now part of this powerful and extremely
popular program - along with an on-screen  virtual  piano,  with
which you can play (and record into Cakewalk) with your mouse or
with a convenient QWERTY keyboard mapping.
