Thanks Mike,
Makes a change from nappies and perfume.
As you seem to be a bit of a muso, I wonder if you know of any software that can convert vocals sung through a microphone into midi, and maybe even sequence as well. (I write songs, but don't play)
Doesn't have to be free, but cheap is always a bonus.
Ta,

You could try http://www.intelliscore.net/product.html - looks like it does what you want - not free though - but pretty cheap $80
or http://www.musicmasterworks.com/MusicM375.exe much cheaper at $35
Cheaper still http://www.akoff.com/composer.zip at $29
Cheers
