Re: [Finale] TAN: QuickKeys or iKeys?

I have had experience with both. Quickeys was great on OS 9. I dropped it completely since I moved to OS X and have been getting by with Ikey. Now that QK 3 is out, and Ikeys 2 is out I have spent some (read: too much) time fiddling with both. Quickeys now does what they say it will do, and doe

This is probably not helpful to you, Taris, but I'm posting this because some have been bashing GPO, lately. GPO includes four alto flute samples (one solo, 3 ensemble-poly) - the solo one is quite nice, haven't tried the others yet. I've been using GPO with FinWin 2005a for several months (on

A quick visit to the two websites is making this a much easier choice. QuickKeys X3 is not supported on Jaguar whereas iKeys is. (And iKeys is half the cost.) I've been a huge supporter of QuickKeys over the years, but their failure to provide a migration path for macros from OS9 to OSX has cos

Hiro, the interface isn't just "inconsistent from iKey 1.x", it is an absolute mess. *Everything* is a sequence -- it's no longer possible to create a simple one-step shortcut without jumping through all kinds of hoops. You can no longer type in keyboard shortcuts (if they already exist in an

One thing to note about quickeys, we're on MAC OSX 10.3 and already on Quickeys X3, each version is a significant overhaul, these aren't minor increments, the application is being very actively developed. I can't comment on iKeys but I've been using Quickeys since OS9 and on OSX since X1. I agr

Hi Robert, QuicKeys has a 30-day demo, and you can use iKey unregistered for (I think) as long as you want, so long as you are willing to put up with a nag screen. I think both can do what you want (sequences within sequences), so why not futz around with both and see which one best meets your
