Dr T Kcs Level 2 Version 3 Options

[mklmouse]

Hi folks, is there anyone out there that can direct me to where I can obtain a copy of Dr T's amazing sequencer, compositional tool and algorithmic music generator: Dr T KCS Level 2 Version 3 for the Mac?
This app came out around the early-mid 80s on floppy disk and was also for Atari ST and Amiga computers. At the time (before I obtained my first Mac (MacPlus with no hard drive, just two floppy drives!)) I bought an Atari ST just to run this great program. Now my Atari is failing fast and everything else I have musically (straightforward MIDI & audio sequencing: Cubase, etc, and score writing: Sibelius, etc) is on the Mac; and so I'd love to find a copy of the ONLY music composition program for me. Anyone have any ideas? I've been trying for several years (including trying ST emulators; also, Dr T Software has long since gone out of business...).

Desperate of Sandwich

This should answer your question....sorry man. There are a TON of sequencing programs out there. Do you still work with Hardware? Logic, DP, Cubase, or even Ableton lend themselves admirably to the task but I promise you they are NOT free (or necessarily cheap). You may want to look into an interface with a starter version of Cubase bundled and Midi In and out....That would be your best bet. Then again, you may want to troll the web for an old Atari ST with it loaded on it or if you are real resourceful, patient, and tenacious there may be a Dr T's user group out there that will be of some help to you....There's gotta be one out there as there are some old schoolers who are still using it.

Sorry, I didn't read your first post as closely as I should have. I know here in Portland, Oregon that there is at least ONE Atari 1040ST users group and some of them buy and sell machines as well. You should maybe start with that and go from there. I noticed you use Cubase (probably more like a recorder than anything else). I never got beyond a starter version of Cubase and found it to be highly unintuitive. If you hit a dead end with the Dr T's then maybe you should try a demo of Ableton Live. I REALLY like live and have been using it for a couple of years now (though it took me almost a year before I got a comfortable workflow going with it so I understand ANY reluctance to jump into another sequencer.....I hear Fatboy
Slim still uses a 1040ST and his engineers helped him slave a Pro Tools HD rig to it....Jan Hammer still uses Opcode Studio Vision...how long has THAT program been dead in the water?). I have always liked Reason's VERY straightforward sequencer as well. You should try em both if you haven't done so already.

Good Luck again!
