Actually, it's easier, once you have the artsey bit-mapped screens, to setup 
sensitized zones for controllers and object selection, and, it makes it easier 
for 
the user's and cuts down on development costs, when all you're having to diddle 
with between versions, is perhaps adding objects, maybe redrawing a few 
screens, and only diddling with the back-end code.  It's the same in "blackbox" 
"imbedded" systems.

 Hey, you guys all need to read my posts a little more closely.  You can
 certainly share sonar track templates with various instrumental setups,
 which I have several of.  And as I mentioned before, everything about gpo is
 bit mapped.  We can't see a darn thing, so even the magical hsc isn't going
 to bail us out of this one.  I just don't get why programmers feel compeled
 to create interfaces like this.  Does it really look that much better than
 normal text does?  Aren't we using the software to create music?  We're not
 playing a video game here.  Just a little venting.

 Hey.
 Reading this post got me thinking, is ther anyway to share precets. Like its
 not an ultimate solution but it gives a little bit of functionality as
 opposed to none at all.
 Just a thought
 cheers

 And it's the same with East West Symphony Orchestra.
 The only way I've been able to use this plug was to make a number of presets
 with the help of sighted assistance.
 I'm afraid HSC is no use at all in this situation!
