FirstChair is a new, advanced MIDI and sound sequencer that takes full advantage of NeXT computers. ..... ...FirstChair integrates MIDI, direct-to-disc CD-quality sound recordings, and animations to create multimedia sequences. FirstChair accepts and generates Standard MIDI files, scorefiles, TIFF, EPS. Cut, copy, and paste supported. .... ...FirstChair sequences can be controlled by graphically edited tempo maps or synchronized to SMPTE via a SMPTE-to-MIDI Time Code converter.... blah, blah, blah. Does this sound like what you want? Imagine, Inc. 32 North Washington, Suite 14 Ypsilanti, MI 48197 (313)487-7117 Give them a call to get the complete story! What do you mean by you can't get support? Does your campus not support NeXT? If not, there is a company called NeXT that does.
