Well, ok – I was just going by that message you left which did leave the impression that you felt Level II lacked in capabilities – I wasn't following the entire stream – apologies if I misunderstood. I have played with the MTPro demo, btw, but it failed to impress me. That may be due to a lack of a manual, and serious demo-originated bugs(constantly locking out). As you state – these are all opinions – I personally disagree with the statement that '(level II's) interface is so horrible that it's not worth the effort' – but you're entitled to your opinion. I can't speak for the B&P team, so I can't categorically state what their intended market is, but I can hardly believe that you can ignore the powerful marco capabilities that can aid slightly-less-than proficient players. In the reviews that I've read that aspect tends to be pushed as a big selling point, and as a composer, I'm not terribly interested in a program that can play automatic harmony and and transposition for me. I prefer M's environment for that sort of stuff. But I'm not trying, in any event, to infer that because you like B&P you're not a capable player – that's silly. I'm simply pointing out that those sorts of things can be a major reason for some people to buy it, while a person is likely not going to spend $$$'s on Level II unless they're darn sure what they want and they need that hands-on flexibility. Btw – I assume that you have the latest version of Level II – do you not find the 'intuitionized' interface any more useful? I'm still waiting on mine… Cheers, J.C.
