Pre-Purchase Questions
Hi All, New to the site, and will be purchasing "Composer". I'm the keyboardist for a 60's Doo-Wop group called "The Casinos". For those of you old enough to remember, we had a big hit in 1967 called "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye". At any rate, many of the charts we're using are hand written etc. and I'd like to produce something a little more professional.
I have some questions regarding "Composer".
1. The keyboard I use is a Technics KN-7000 workstation. It has built-in rhythm patterns that I use with my left hand while playing "live" with my right hand. All of the tunes we do are saved on an SD card. Would Composer "pick up" the internal rhythms and transcribe them to notation? In other words, if I did a live right hand recording, with the internal LH rhythms playing, would Composer pick up the internal rhythm section or not?
2. More than likely, I'll be using Composer's live recording capability to produce quality lead sheets for piano. Many of the bands that accompany us at the shows we do are 6 or 7 piece groups with the usual instrumentation (lead and bass guitars, drums, an additional keyboard, trumpet and sax). I know nothing about scoring for horns, but would like to have sheets for the horns. Does Composer automatically produce the correct scoring for horn parts?
I'm sure that I'll have many more questions as time goes by, but these are the main ones for now. Thanks for any help you can provide.
