As you may know, at the end of this month, Apple with launch MacOS X, the new MacOS.

Did you notice that no announcements was made about music making with this OS.

OMS, a vital element for midi communication IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH macOS X, and is no longer developped.
No replacement was even announced!
This mean NO MIDI (compatible with existing applications) on mac OS X.

Audio drivers will need to be rewritten to work in OSX, and reports show that the system sound interface (Sound manager) was not improved, or is even worse than the actual version....

It sounds like Apple completely forgets its musician customers base!
-itunes is a kind software, but it doesn't replace the needs for WORKING midi and audio application-

SHOULD WE BUY A PC TO MAKE MUSIC NOW ?????

:-(
