CAKEWALK

hi there, ye friends in music,
apparently some of you are using Cakewalk Products.
As I recently pointed out, I am using the "good old CakewalkExpress", and I am interested in any version of Cakewalk products that offer mor possibilities / utilities. But the more recent products such as SONAR are for my interests too huge and complex, I'm only intersted into a good smooth MIDI-program in which I can create my .wrk-files. What I am missing in CakewalkExpress is e.g. the utility to inverse a musical structure (write c-e-g, mark it, inverse it either to g-e-c, or c-ab-f, or f-ab-c: do you get mthe idea ? I heard that Cubase does that sort of thing too, but here again I fell that is a too huge and complex program. Does anyone of you know "CakewalkProfessional", to which my CakewalkExpress sometimes refers in its help file ?)
Anyhow, if someone of you knows CakewalkProfessional or its immediate follower, please let me know. I feel I could use that.
Thanks for your help.
Bye
Werner

hi Werner,

i use Cakewalk Pro 9.3 all the time. it's mostly a great
program, but is no longer available and has been superceded
by SONAR.

but if your primary interest is in microtonal music,
i (not-so-humbly) suggest that you wait a few more
months and spend those big bucks on my software instead.
:)

the company name is Tonalsoft ... we haven't made a
final decision on the product name yet. we're expecting
the beta release to be out around February.

Dare I ask if there will be a Mac version?

All best wishes,

hopefully sometime in the future ... but not for the
first several releases/years. sorry. against my
own desires, the entire project has become extremely
Microsoft-friendly, but it had to be so.
