I agree with the Jan. 3rd 2003 reviewer. The enclosed cable will not work with my 2002 Dell laptop.[] This is double the price of the Software, which, by the way is OK. If the correct cable(s) were included, the package as a whole gets 4 stars…

I bought this product hoping to have my old sampling and production software I used to have. Anyhow, I found out that Midi Mapper is no longer available in XP/Vista and this particular program is not sufficient anymore and will probably have to buy something like Sonor or some other program like that. Overall a good program for it’s time.

I used voyetra orchestrator for over 5 years. I think it was a great learning tool for both digital audio and midi. I record 100% digital and wanted to replace my older version with a newer one. I found this starter kit and thought that it was basically the same as I had before because I looked all over the box and couldn’t find anything that said it only includes 4 digital audio tracks. (how can anyone get started with two stereo channels?). I wouldn’t have purchased it if I would have known that. Now I am stuck with it. If all a person does is midi, I guess this will work, but if you want to “start” incorporating digital audio, you should buy something else. I don’t enjoy it when companies try to slide one by it’s customers by not listing important info that should be disclosed even if it ends up hindering sales. shame on those Marketing people!

For a little extra money, you get some very powerful software that allows you to easily write music, save to MIDI file, edit your existing MIDI’s and provides a MIDI cable to connect your music keyboard. If you have some downloaded MIDI files, you’ll get a kick out of turning on and off tracks or making your own remix. Pumping the MIDI files through an external MIDI source via the included cable (I used a Yamaha EZ-30) produced incredible results. It even takes MIDI files and converts them to sheet music which you can print out and save! For getting your feet wet in digital music, there’s nothing I’ve found that’s better or more robust. However, if you don’t have an external MIDI source, then you won’t get the maximum benefit from this bundle.

This is a great software program to, get started in realisation of all the components of your computer and, the relationship of midi to it. The features are vast but, ah there is no printed manual. You have to download it from the software itself.I like being able to read the information from text and, also manipulate the screen. I would have given the software five stars except for the fact that, there is no manual included with the product bundling.If you don’t mind shuttleing back and forth on your screen, you will love this software. Otherwise, a word of caution. This may take a while to understand.
