I did down lode HSC, but I haven't had any time to mess with it. I didn't realise that you needed someone sited to create the hot spot clickers for you. I guess it would make sence to have sited asistance because we wouldn't know where the hot spot was. Hey omar have you used HSC? How easy is it? ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 7:41 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Soft synth accessibility question Either that, or have someone create hotspot clickers.

It seams to me it would be a whole lot easier to just import a template than to mess with presets. I whish I had someone to help me with stuf like that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 6:45 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Soft synth accessibility question Yeah, and even the presets are inaccessible on most new softsynths, unless you have a sighted person help you, or can get someone to make hotspot clickers for loading presets.

Not to mention the fact that if you have a friend who is up for the task of making presets for you, then you are good to go! I will warn you though, many of the new native instruments stuff is virtually impossible to get to because they are using the bitmapped images to make menus and lists which are not accessible by us at all!

I mean there are different types of synths with different focuses... Spectrasonic's Trilogy for example is basses sounds, Spectrasonic's atmosphere is a bunch of pad, ambience sounds, atmospheres lol and things of that nature... Dimension and hs are more of the general synth which have a bit of everything...there are others like pro53, absynth from native instruments, fm7, etc that are techo/electronic music related, etc...there are a few others out there...it also depends on what you consider accessible. Presets is enough or do you want to have complete or some control over parameters and stuff...

The lounge lizard, and dimention pro are usable, but not nearly as nice. I know when i upgrade to sonar 6 dimention will get better, but i'd like to know what your using that's very user friendly. I was thinking about getting trilogy. But if there's something that's real easy to use I'd like to know about it. Thanks for any feedback. http://www.gbrayton.com
