Re: Note series / Control / drum editor - Karma MW software

There you go, folks. Thanks for setting everyone straight on this
Stephen.  I tried to explain this but you've filled in the greater
details on the availability or purchase of MW.
Cheers,
Eric
PS: By the way, I've been using MW (and its updates) ever since it was
introduced. When KARMA OASYS (KO) comes out for Karma's big brother,
you can bet I'll be getting that as well.
