haven't heard of it but it sounds *very* interesting. It's probably for the
Mac, right? Is there a program like Max or JamFactory for the PC at all, or
would one have to buy a Mac to do fancy Midi stuff?
 
A friend of mine saw Steve Hillage in concert recently. He used a notebook 
or
Powerbook but my friend didn't see what he did. What kind of things can you
do with a Powerbook in concerts? Could one do similar things with a 
Notebook
running Windows?
