Re: CZ software interface.

2007-02-05 by Rob

I think I see what you are doing, Narfman. What I don't understand 
is why can't someone create a software program to do all of 
this "right out of the box"? i.e. for us less technical people who 
don't have a lot of computer knowledge. 

I just want something quick and easy. Something that will look like 
Steinberg's Cubase SX (or something like it), and will run on MAC 
and PC. ...and have all the MIDI built in.

The JSynthLib is cool, but why is it so hard to download it. I hear 
that people who are trying to use it on MAC OS have a really hard 
time getting it started.

hope it helps.
