Good news, Lewis. Hopefully, you can make some progress on that front. You might want to speak with a couple of blind guys who are using Cubase with Windows who are members of the MIDI-Mag list. I believe it's at http://www.midimag.org I know that much of the access was due to the heavy use of a control surface but, at any rate, it might be helpful to compare notes.

Hi all hope you all dont mind me dropping a mail here lol but here is some good news. some news that I hope might change things and open up a gateway to a non monopolised software market lol. Some stage today after a really hefty idea lol I decided to check out steinberg and their apps. had chance to check out cubase 4. after a while of scouring for contact I have finally managed to strike up dialogue with a few guys at yamaha today for which I'm pretty proud of lol. there is the possibility that they will be in touch to discuss the case with me at length. before I became blind in 2000 I was studying with Cubase VST and wow I loved it. ok it needed a hardware key as a parralel port config on a PC but wow I loved it. it had all the bits I wanted with it and at a nice price lol so after some self induced arguments with myself hahahaha I decided hey its worth a try. and before anyone says anything I was very polite with them and discussed in the email about different things happening in the blind accessibility world with a centre focus on voice over and OS X Leopard. highlighting some key needs with accessibility with Cubase included the need to be able to access the main track pane windows, mixer and more, the ability to receive information from faders and peak meters, editing audio and midi with in the application as well as with external hardware surfaces and instruments etc. lets just say if cubase can work for us well lets just say its a little cheaper than logic and can offer a bit more lol not trying to sound like a salesman lol. anyhow if anyone wishes to put in any requests for what they would like to see with accessibility in cubase then please either email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) or call me on +44 (0)7857 352828 at any time. please note that I may be off line for a day or so due to sale of my laptop for the new iMac but am sorting out a makeshift host for customer management, list serves and more lol take care all and may we enjoy this list as it was intended. take care lewy
