I make music in a variety of styles from Jazz to New Age. I have some
vision and that's how I use VSTs and Dxis. I'm in California.
I am a beta tester for both Cake Talking for Sonar and Sibelius
Speaking for Sibelius.

HI Kevin,
I really don't care whether anything else works with DireciXer's
interface.
So far I'm not too impressed with it. I use Sonar 3 for my sequencing
and
everything else works fine with it. I was mainly looking for a good drum
loops program and I spent so much on Groove Agent I hate to switch to
something else but the dumb thing doesn't work the way I thought it did.
Let
me know what you find out about your new program. Where are you
located?
What do you do with your music?
Take care,
Steven S.
