lol you can set your mac to use DVORAK. i have. but using dvorak isnt what i call an edge. not from a marketing stand point anyway. YOULL TYPE 10 TIMES FASTER AFTER A YEAR OF LEARNING A NEW KEYBOARD LAYOUT!!!!!.\n\njust go into your international settings and you can change the keyboard to use dvorak

The QWERTY keyboard was designed ergonomicallyso that the most often used keys would be appropriately placed for easy reach.  The other (not so) big layout is where the keys are arranged in alphabetical order.  I don't recomend this as a solution.  Here is another to investigate as well: Dvorak

your keyboard midi file es a midi Type 1...you need to convert the midi file to midi type 0, use midtomid software

Sometimes there are hidden keys.\n\nTry [Shift] + F4  (should be F16)

Driver issues maybe? What do you need to press 4 or more keys at once for anyways? That may be why ;)

if you bought a computer with OS 10.3 installed, then it may have come with garageband, which is an amateur music editing program.  If you want professional software, then I you're probably going to have to spend some $.

I know very little about the Juno-D (I played one today, actually, but just for a minute), so I'll just talk about the Microkorg (there's one sitting next to me).  \n\nMicrokorg:\nPros:\na) great sounds (some seriously-fat synths)\nb) built-in vocoder\nc) endless hours of fun playing with it\n\nCons:\na) the keys are tiny (toy keyboard tiny), and the keyboard is only 3 octaves.  You can raise or lower the octave with buttons, but who wants to keep pressing buttons while they're playing? \nb) unusual layout.  There's alot to adjust, but only a few knobs to adjust with, so you inevitably have to turn 2 or 3 knobs to change 1 thing.  That may sound abstract to you, but trust me, it's annoying, and definitely not suitable for live performance (you'd need an extra person in the band just to turn knobs and push buttons).  \nc) 4 voices of polyphony. I see this as a critical flaw of the Microkorg.  What it means is that you can only play a maximum of 4 notes at once (sometimes less, depending on the preset), so you can forget about playing a chord with both hands.  Most modern synths have at least 32-voices, which is usually enough.     \n\nIf you're used to a piano, and you want something sort of close to a piano, your fingers will hate the Microkorg.  The Microkorg is, in alot of ways, a novelty synth.  Although it has really good sounds, everything about its design is SO atypical.  The Juno-D is a proper, standard synth: 5-octaves of decent-sized keys, 64-voices of polyphony, etc.  Plus it has that awesome d-beam controller.  I can't speak about the sounds, though.  Based on everything above, I'd say (out of those 2), go with the Juno-D.  If it's your first synth, I think you'll just be constantly frustrated with the Microkorg.  \n\nBut before you shell out the money, jump over to this website:\n\nhttp://www.tweakheadz.com\n\nGo to their forums and ask lots of questions.  They're professionals and they'll help you out.  They helped me pick out my first synth 4 years ago.

cuz they (Apple) locked it... They wanna make sure Mac OS will only be installed on Macs...\nPeople have successfully hacked the software and installed it onto PCs... But because of compatibility issues, some functions won't work.\ndo a search on google and see if you can download a cracked version.

GarageBand is great for a cheap program. My neighbor has a band and he uses it. I love Macs BUT the Mac Mini is crap. Save a few extra dollars and get a iMac or Macbook. Remember to get more memory!

Hi there...I'm unfamiliar with Transmission, however I've located a discussion forum for their product and perhaps someone here may be able to explain or troubleshoot the Mac version. \n\nhttp://transmission.m0k.org/forum/

Here's something that may be of help.  Try this link:\n\nhttp://www.pitt.edu/~deben/freebies.html#Keyboard%20Classics\n\nThis link as free sheet music and simple to play.  It should play well on a key board.\n\nGOOD LUCK!

im guessing that you mean the sheet music for it ... i've figured this one out before. lets see if i can transcibe it. this is the main part. i dont have a keyboard in front of me\n\nplay these doing down in sound:\nD# B F# / go up: D# E / go down: C# G#\ndown: E D# C# / up:D# down: B G#\nup D# E / down B G#\nup: E down D# C#\n\nhope this makes sense ... it is right!

You have to load the song file (mp3, aac, etc...) into an audio editing application.  Macs come with Garageband which can edit imported audio.  Then there's also a free app called Audacity for both Windows and Mac.

get old fashion tuning forks, and tune it by your ear. That is how they were tuned for hundreds of years, and regardless, it will sound right to you!\n\nIn 1975 my friend introduced me to tunning pianos. I had NO clue, but could match the strings to the sound of the tunning fork.

I LOVE my Apples!  I've had a few over the years; currently, I have a 14" iBook, & a mini.  Both came with GarageBand installed.  \n\nGarageBand has been fun:  I have a cheap USB midi keyboard, a Griffin iMic, & cheap microphone)  \n\nIf you're good with a keyboard, you'll be able to do quite a bit without anything else.  There are 2 built-in inputs, but both are kind of clunky:  one is a virtual keyboard on the screen that you play with the mouse; and the other maps about 1 octave on your typing keyboard.  You can edit your midi tracks, but the program isn't necessarily optimized for that, & it's rather time-consuming to do any more than shift pitch or timing of notes.\n\nThe biggest downside for you will probably be the variety of voices.  There are expansion packs available, but they're $100 each (I bought one so far.)
