Remembering that Pro MIDI is extensible through add-on modules, the standard package has no provisions for music notation output. You can use DMCS as a module under Pro MIDI and import DMCS scores into Pro MIDI, but it is a delicate operation at best; going the other way is nigh onto impossible. Both Pro MIDI and KCS are worthy programs, and will well repay you for the time required to learn them. Of the two, I think (this is pure ungrounded opinion here, folks) that Pro MIDI is potentially more powerful. If used with the proper interface (such as Fast Tracker), it is easier to use than KCS… but you give up some of the power for the simplicity. In their out-of-the-box configurations, I'd say KCS is probably a bit easier to learn. Keep in mind, though, that BOTH packages are going to take a bit of study and practice on your part.
