Title: RE: [Finale] TAN: More iKey From: Robert Patterson Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2005 9:51 AM I would love to try QuickKeys, but they've abandoned my OS. The demo doesn't even start. What OS are you using? QuicKeys supports OS9 and OSX and you can still purchase older versions. I have been working with QKX3 and it blows away the old OS9 version. The addition of the logic and decision functions has greatly improved the application. QuicKeys can now handle all of the complicated macros that I had setup in OS9. As with Finale, there are a few speed issues when editing large macros within their new GUI but the macros are more reliable and fast when you run them compared to the older versions of QK especially when comparing it to the OS9 versions.

The minimum OS version for QK X3 is 10.3. I have 10.2.8. Apparently QK X2 is discontinued. So they've abandoned my OS.

You could be better off waiting for both 10.4 and QK support for 10.4 to be in place before upgrading. Out of curiousity why didn't you go to 10.3? Thanks anyway, that's a good reminder to check QK compatibility before upgrading the OS - I usually grab the latest version the minute it's released, I've probably just been fortunate not to have run into problems like this. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art - Finale IRC channel server: irc.chatspike.net port: 6667 channel: #Finale - ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Give them a call (800.523.7638), they are pretty nice over there. steve ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Another apparent iKey limitation is that it can only go one submenu deep? Does anyone know a way around this? Is iKey 2 any better in this regard?

Re: [Finale] TAN: More iKey
iKey 2 is the same. There doesn't seem to have been much added to the functionality of iKey 2, but the user interface has become infinitely convoluted, and stuff that worked in iKey 1 is broken in iKey 2, ie; shortcuts triggered by activating an application do not work properly. My experience with iKey 2 was terrible, I've been using iKey 1 for a year. iKey 2 is a mess, see earlier posts about it.
