To learn how to use Composer Surface, use Google Checkout to order our book "Composing Music with Composer Surface".
Composer Surface v2.0 and Composer Surface v1.x run on Windows XP and Vista, and Composer Surface 2.04 has been developed for Windows 7.
Composer Surface 2.04 for Windows 7 is able to play (WAV audio) instruments and the Envelopes (synthesisers) separately, and can't at present play them at the same time. But you can of course play the Envelopes and Instruments together by opening more than one copy of Composer Surface 2.04. If you are using the RealTek audio chipset and you want to use the RealTek effects (like Auditorium echo) you have to open a copy of Composer Surface 2.04 and play Envelopes (only) and then switch off the editor on that copy. The Realtek audio effects will then become operative when you open another copy of Composer Surface 2.04 and play the instruments (or WAV audio).
