Hi

I think, it must be understandable, that there is disappointment. We had not been told that GPO and Composer do not quite line up. There should be no finger pointing or are apologies required. This would not be productive. I also think that everybody in this is most sincere. It will not do any harm if G G reads these posts.

Midi was originally used for live performances. It has never been a rigid standard. What we are doing now is to produce music with a PC only. It needs to work in a new way.

The graphical display and adjustment of midi controllers over the notation, is for me and I think for many users, a most attractive feature in Composer. Velocity is singled out for special treatment. I can only guess what goes on in the background in respect to absolute and relative values for velocity. It works well. Along come GPO and JABB, not respecting our ways. Perhaps there should be another option, permitting all midi controllers to be adjusted as velocity is. I prefer a system, where all controllers can be assigned all editing methods available. Composer would come with a midi template, a GPO template and other frequently used templates, to make live easy. Users could set up their own templates.

Sherry, I hope I have answered your request for clarification.

I will be watching now this space, to experience the “big bang”, when Mark releases all new features.

Best wishes,

Herbert
