Dear Patrick, First of all, thank you for purchasing so many of our products. I appreciate your comments and observations. I would be happy to send you a copy of Bars&Pipes Professional 2.0 when we release it. If you wouldn't mind, please EMail me your address so that I can place an order on your behalf. Bars&Pipes Professional is FAR MORE than just an improved manual, notation and some Tools. If its any indication, compare the size of the original Bars&Pipes Professional release disk, which was 75% full, to the size of Bars&Pipes Professional 2.0: It consumes over 95% of TWO disks. I could list for you all of Bars&Pipes Professional's improvements, but since you've received the Quarter Notes, you are already aware of them. I don't wish to comment directly about Dr. T's, however, any software that does not make extensive use of menus and a graphical user-interface will always be less processor-intensive. The 68000 processor is many years old. Since then, we've seen the 68020, 68030 and now the 68040. We write for the current computing standards. No one expects you to purchase an accellerator, however, don't expect your computer to run like on that has one. As far as I know, the AmigoPhone is extremely solid. Please understand that every computing environment is different and there could be circumstances which cause the AmigoPhone to respond in the way you've indicated. In Bars&Pipes Professional 2.0, we've included a new Tool called the SamplePhone, which I think you'll appreciate. While we don't have the specific file player you've requested, we do provide the Media Madness Player. This player, which does not have memory overhead, is ARexx-controllable and con not only play music, but can play Toaster transitions, SunRize effects, ANIM files and more. I would appreciate your providing any further detail on any pitch bend or Note Mapper problems you may be having, so that we can analyze your situation. -Melissa
