Other comments. I am not sure of how well it produces MIDI files but my version lacks the nice mixing facilties (ability to add effects like chourus, reverb etc) that the "posher" packages like CakeWalk have and I find the user interface a little difficult but in fairness, I rarely use anything other than CakeWalk and expect everything to work the same way..

I mentioned a midi, the Golden Eagle, that I had sequenced in a previous thread. My version of Melody Asstant produces some very weird looking notation when faced with that one.

I was lucky in acquiring my favorite MIDI program as part of a gift from my brother (he gave me this computer plus some software) but the likes of Cakewalk do sometimes give older versions away on PC magazines frome time to time and I suspect similar things must happen for Mac users. My feeling is that if such an oppertunity crops up, it is well worth buying a magazine simply for the cover software but in the absence of any such offer, Melody Assistant is worth considering.

I downloaded it because of its ABC/MIDI capabilites - overall it was now bad but it didn't quite match my hopes but there again, I was probably (almost certainly)being unrealistic in what I wanted.
