Argh, gosh I wish he'd just ship it. Gee, I thought Music-X was dead. However, spurred on by this posting, I called up MicroIllusions to find out. The first person I spoke to said, "The program is done. The manual is done. All the pieces should be together within a month or two." The next person said, "We'll have it out just as soon as the programmer is done with it." Sigh. Anyway, is there anything you can tell us (who aren't on BIX) about what Music-X will really be able to do? At $299 list it will be the most expensive sequencer in the Amiga market, so it had better be damn good. Actually, I would think that MicroIllusions will have to sell quite a number of copies just to offset the money lost on advance (to put it mildly) advertising (they had the inside back cover of Keyboard for *months*.) I'm sort of surprised that they would even allow the programmer to make it "better and better" when it's already so late. Oh, they said they *might* be at summer NAMM showing it. If it's done, that is... ;-) /.- -- .. --. .- .-. ..- .-.. . ... .- -- .. --. .- .-. ..- .-.. . ...\ / Neil Weinstock | att!cord!nsw | "One man's garbage is another \ \ AT&T Bell Labs | nsw@cord.att.com | man's prune danish." - Harv Laser / \.- -- .. --. .- .-. ..- .-.. . ... .- -- .. --. .- .-. ..- .-.. . .../
