Hi guys,

Is there a music notation program that is accessible with JFW?

I don't know brail music, so would have to be with a screen reader.

Thanks much,

Joey

I use computers now for VA stuff.

Several of us blind guys owned Alesis Ions. Lots of hardware control, but still some menus. Novation has some VAs with lots of hardware controls. The X-Station had a fair amount of controls, but their A-Station, and others, didn't.

The cheap VAs will have fair sound, but will use few controls and lots of menus. If you get lots of hardware controls, then the price goes up. If you get a multitembral unit, and/or with effects, then the price goes up again.

Damon Fibraio has owned several of these, including a few recent ones from Nord that didn't work out. Perhaps he'll comment.

You should be prepared to spend $800 or more, unless you want a toy.

Hi Brian or anyone else who uses virtual analog gear.

Out of curiosity, what virtual analog synth would you suggest that has a
better price point and is more accessible than the roland jp8080?

The only thing close to a VA synthesizer that I used, and this was some time
ago, was the Yamaha AN1X and if memory serves, that one doesn't have very
many sounds, has rollover menus and it sounded a bit thin to my ears, like I
couldn't  get very fat sounds or high volumes in different mixes but then
that was back in 1997 or so.

Thanks for the info.
