I'm almost positive I remember this program for the Commodore 64, but I can't find any evidence of it. Can someone else verify this? If not, I guess its mention in the article should be removed. — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:28, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I removed the references to DOS for the IBM PC version of MCS because it was never a DOS program. The original diskette booted directly.
The DOS confusion probably stems from two things: 1. You could read the diskette somewhat in DOS; the program didn't show up, but the music data files did. 2. Most people nowadays who run MCS run the Demonlord-cracked version, which took him a few painstaking weeks to crack and convert. People with no experience with the original would never know it was a bootable disk that didn't use DOS. Trixter 18:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
For the last 15 years I've been looking for a piece of software that worked the way the Music Construction Set did. Does anybody know of any logical descendants of this program? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dspitzle ( talk • contribs) 21:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC).
- I don't, though I know it was heavily criticized by musicians. Mainly because they couldn't just play music and have it show up in notation form—dragging and dropping notes wasn't "creative" enough for them. I don't think it'd have much of an audience today, which explains why EA hasn't updated it. Sorry I couldn't help... — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
