Eugene and list,
If there is a PPC driver for USB MIDI
devices, then it is possible to implement
this feature as a Music Pack. There are two
things to consider: in order for it to
happen, Braille Music must be supported on
the BrailleNote. Second, because audio
editing like music composing takes a fair
amount of memory and processing power, if it
is ever implemented, you'll need to sacrifice
performance for this.
For those of you who did not know this: The
X-Scale PXA722 processor that is used on
mPower units have SSE (Streaming SIMD
Extensions) instruction set which is used for
encoding and decoding media files.--Source:
Wikipedia article on Intel X-Scale and SSE.
By utilizing this feature, one can implement
music composing feature on the BrailleNote.
But due to the performance penalty, this is
not the right time to implement this.
Cheers,
Joseph PddS. When I compose or rearrange a
music for my liking, I usually use my
computer to do this.

Hi Martin and all,
I wholly agree that BrailleNote should
direct their efforts toward devising a much
easier method of allowing musicians to be
able to compose. I've read on the List that
it is possible but it sounds complicated and
composing alone is complicated enough. I
haven't tackled it yet but eventually I'll
take the plunge. There certainly are a lot
of talented blind people who are fine
musicians and many religious people who
participate and perform at their churches.
What can we do to push for this request.
I wonder if any of the staff are Musicians.
Eugenio
