I am experienced with both computers and music, but not so much with the mix of both. Because of my disability I can't use a regular music keyboard to compose, and putting the notes in one-by-one with the mouse is a bit like pulling teeth! I do have a small keyboard - eKeys 37 - which I use to do note pitches and then use a programmed XKeys Desktop device to specifiy the note length, but it's awkward and slow.
I think what frustrates me most is that music entered like this with a mouse or the XKeys/eKeys combination has no extra "live" midi stuff like note velocity/etc. (I'm not sure of the terminology - sorry). So playing it back is a bit like listening to a robot, and very frustrating. Is there any decent way of getting this information in so the computer can play it back and have it closer to the way it sounds in my head??? At the moment I'm using Sibelius mostly and Garage Band a bit (haven't really mastered that). I started off clasically trained so I'm used to notes and staves and such, not the MIDI type stuff, but I am willing to learn!

Ricky, when you find that keyboard, I will be interested, too - perfect travel gizmo. I'm a big GB user and would also like to do some of the same things you want to do. I spend some time editing the MIDI loops, but I do get frustrated. Where are the "hidden GB secrets"? :-)
Good luck with all of it. Thea |
