Nope I have had problems with DMCS Guru'ing when reading from my
synthesizer.  My setup is extremely stable, ie ECE midi, Casio CZ230S,
A500.  I don't have ANY problems with any software EXCEPT DMCS.  Thus
I use other various programs to sequence, and then use DMCS to edit the
resulting score.

I agree Dr. T's is the best that I've seen so far.  But it is still
lacking in some respects.  I hope soon to see something for the amiga
that is written by a group of Amiga Programmers/MIDI'ist.  I personally
think that something written by such a group would be absolutely awesome.
Comments Anyone?
