I'm an amateur musician/arranger longer on theory than equipment, and so far I've been using an entry level music notation and scoring progam called MusicTime. I now have a Midi keyboard and want to connect up to the G4 so that I don't have to manually click in every friggin note and chord.
So far I haven't been able to get the Yamaha UX16 to connect with my program through the USB port (although OMS does see the translator box the keyboard is isolated from both send and receive) and the demo for Finale doesn't either. does anyone know a good entry level program that is USB aware, for notation/arrangement/scoring? At my level, performance is a bit over my needs. (I usually export midi to Quicktime for playback once I have an arrangement.) I appreciate any advice, and my price comfort level is probably US$ 300 or so. Thanks George |

If your primary goal is printed music, use a notation program such as Finale or Sibelius. Logic and Performer are primarily sequencers with limited print capablility as compared with true notation programs. Both Finale and Sibelius have MIDI input and playback. Reading your original post, I suspect the problem you had was with your OMS configuration. If the USB MIDI interface is present in the config, connect the MIDI IN and OUT of your synth icon to the MIDI Interface icon. Be sure to set Finale to use OMS under MIDI:MIDI setup.
That said, if I was choosing a notation program and had no background in either, I would choose Sibelius. It's more intuitive, has a more modern interface and has considerably better MIDI playback. |
