Re: rackmount midi sequencer

Woops, sorry. I'm used to seeing "p2p" ;-))

It's probably available as a bit torrent download, but since it is a
public beta it should also have its own official download page
somewhere on the internet. "Public Beta" means nothing illegal, it's a
common way these days for software developing companies to cut down on
developing costs by offering the public a free version of the
work-under-progress version of an application. So does for example
Ableton every time they are working on the final touch of a new Live
version.

The SoundDiver public beta should work fine I heard, although I didn't
use it much over here since I have no use for it and did not have time
to report in to Apple anyway.
