INteresting thing about this:  I just got my copy of Deluxe News (the 
EA book), and I quote from it here:

	But First, an important announcement:  We have included a
	special offer from Mimetics in the latest shipments of 
	DeluxeMusic.  If you have bought or are planning to buy
	DeluxeMusic, Mimetics' Soundscape Pro MIDI Studio, and
	Soundscape Sound Digitizer, just send your proofs of purchase
	(dated receipts) from those products to Mimetics, and they
	will send you their MIDI INterface (a $49 value) absolutely
	free.  Send proof of purchase to
		Mimetics, 
		PO Box 60238
		Station A
		Palo Alto, CA, 94306

Pretty amazing, I must say, but you have to buy all three products
to get it.  Why go for DMCS and Pro MIDI Studio, since they seem to do
the same thing?  

Couple of questions about Pro MIDI:

1)	What format does it save the files?  DMCS uses SMUS, and it
would be nice if the two could transfer songs back and forth...

2)	How much is Pro MIDI?  I'm debating which program to get,
and right now, I'm leaning towards DMCS (some Mac owners I know 
also have DMCS, so I'd like to exchange songs with them (Yes, it is 
possible)).
