I got an unused new old stock copy of Practica Musica 3 on eBay earlier this week and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. I will probably use it on the Plus.
A few questions to any PM3 users out there...
1. What would be a good synth to use with it if I'm running it on a 68K Mac? Obviously I'd need serial port connectivity, and I'd like a decent one that I could use for enjoyment on the side as well. (Regular pianos are still my favorite but at 1AM when everyone's sleeping...yeah, headphones become necessary).
2. What sort of music theory concepts are taught? I've read about the newer versions and I remember using a really old version of it circa 1992 in a school computer lab, I recall pitch recognition being one of the activities. Pitch isn't my problem--I have perfect pitch--but I'd like to do more with inversions, intervals, triads, chords, etc. as a refresher since I'm thinking of doing more with music down the road.
3. Just for my collector's sake--anyone else have PM3 boxed?
