Title: EZ Vision & MusicShop
Post by: supernova777 on July 15, 2014, 09:20:04 PM
both were stripped down introductory lower priced entry level packages offered in around the early to mid-90s (1990-1997)
these posts are my attempts to distinguish the differences between ez vision + svp ..  which is somewhat dificult without actually
having the programs open side by side! and also to collect the facts! and store links to info + downloads for future reference

Ez Vision

midi composing + arranging on the g3 powerbook

here; i have found some Vision + MusicShop installable demos from August 1996 (https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://web.archive.org/web/19970213010418/http://www.opcode.com/downloads/demos/mac/&usg=ALkJrhhY8LSETYuvHI4Fy03qzR6ujgcX_g) Open Music System 1.2.3 is required for Vision demo. If you are downloading a demo of Vision you must also get OMS 1.2.3 from this directory.
not sure which version this is but the file is dated from June-1995!!!

video begins by showcasing the 'EZ Vision' product, and then switches
to pro level product, 'Studio Vision Pro' to show off its 'revolutionary' (heh) audio recording to hard drive
notice also the Roland PC-200 Midikeyboard one of the first of its kind perhaps? definately not usb;) dating way back to 1990
according to the scanned manual pdf i found posted online (http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.rolandus.com%2Fmanuals%2FPC-200_OM.pdf&ei=ZAfGU-arNpa1yASU6oCIDQ&usg=AFQjCNGEpnGMp1fmpReAVFkuE0hqyR1ydg&sig2=rC5EtUswM_juENEez6GS5w)!
