"Mastertracks Pro"? What a flashback .. love it ... had it on
my Atari composing/home studio set up 15 years ago as well ...
How does one get their hands on Windows 2000 version? Currently
using PowerTracks but would love to have MasterTracks Pro as
well!
THANKS.

| Subject: [disklavier] Midi sequencing software for Disklavier |
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Just thought I'd share a recent discovery. I've always been
looking
for sequencing software that is useful for piano solo (correcting
my
terrible Disklavier playing, mostly). I used to use Voyetra SP2
and
then MasterTracks Pro around 15 years ago (which is still happily
working on Windows XP, amazingly). But I've just spent some time
downloading a load of demos and shareware software looking for
something different, and have found MIDI Maestro, which stands
head
and shoulders above the rest for this kind of work.
Most of the others concentrate on WAV files, "jamming", and weird
effects. And loops, which don't exactly relate to Beethoven as a
rule.
Midi Maestro's ace in the pack is the very impressive live
notation
display, showing several tracks at a time (if you've recorded in
parts), and allowing live editing of the score by dragging notes
around. All the usual stuff is there (and so is a piano roll for
the times when that's better), and it's pretty easy to access.
Keyboard shortcuts for everything speed up editing no end.
Minus points, it's $50 shareware (but it's pretty nag-free and
fully
function for 15 days), it gets confused by trills, accidentals,
and
anything smaller than a 64th note (although obviously the piano
roll
view is fine for this).
But otherwise I found it good enough to hand over the credit card
for, which is more than I can say for around twenty other
programs
I've just tried out.
Hope this helps someone....
Regards
Charles
