Hi CHes! The only difference between Levels 5 and 6 scores is the "MIDI
Channel Hop", whereby any part can change its channel assignmnet on the fly,
just like an instrument. THis lets one part play the sax on the Yamaha and
later the flute on the Casio, etc.
I doubt either of those scores actually used the feature, but they might. It
also lets you "borrow" percussion voices for "real music" and vice versa even
if you have only one synth.
However, version 4.6.0 and 4.6.1 do have a great poiont-n-shoot file loading
system, and...OOPS, I think 4.5.x does NOT have Percussion Staves, is that
right? I HOPE uploads are using those, so yes, you should call Ed at 2nd City
and ask for 4.6.1 or 4.6.2 maybe. He isn't sending them out exc ept to those
who ask.
I hope to be in Atlanta -- Ed certainly will be, and if I can't make it he will
demo the daylights out of Umuse3 (he has done some SERIOIUS mousing lately and
plays two sytns at once).
I have 4.7.0 with Articulations (staccato, marcato, etc) but it isn't
"released" yet, tho I think it's ready to roll. --mike k.
