The local Atari store normally only carries MIDI Recording Studio (MRS).  I
asked them what else they could come up with from Dr. T and they checked
their master list and found MRS, Keyboard Controlled Synthesizer (KCS), and
Fingers.  Nothing more.
So I wrote to Dr. T and asked about distributors.  Got a brochure back
listing a dozen ST programs, but no prices or where to get them from.
So I started calling places listed in the magazines.  They had various
combinations of MRS, KCS, and Fingers.  Even places that listed other
titles in their ads said that those three were all they had in stock.
For example, ComputAbility lists a bunch of Dr. T titles but when I called
they said they were "just picking up the Dr. T line" and only had MRS and
KCS in stock.
Finally I gave up and ordered Fingers from ST-Plus.  That's $34.95, the
man on the phone said.  When it got here, the bill was $60.00 (!!!) and
the price sticker on the box said $75 (!!!!).
Does anybody know of a reliable source for this stuff?  I got started with
Dr. T because it looked like there was a lot of room for growth...but if
I can't get ahold of it, it isn't much good.  Maybe time to check out
somebody else's line of MIDI software.
I'd also like to know if anybody has seen any sign of "Keys!" (the one
Dr. T has been advertising in all the magazines recently).
Thanks,
