Did you get any response? And do mind if I ask what it was?
Pretty much lawyer speak for "we don't don't to get sued". It was months ago and I don't have the email anymore. |

| Found a means to make such an enquiry through proper channels via e-mail: https://help.xbox.com/eform.aspx?productKey=xbox360live&ct=eformts&scrx=1 It includes the option for "Gamertag Questions", so naturally someone there may provide answers at least. So don't bother with the petition as ... |

| It's not like anyone ever uses the word "Autism" as a slur anyway , usually the big insult is the "R" word. You sir, have clearly not been on a chan imageboard. Calling someone Autistic or saying they've got Autism, is the equivalent of calling someone a obsessive pedantic and/or pretentious f***ta... |

| Excellent points ahogday, thanks. OP, you state "Tell Microsoft Autism Isn't A Dirty Word!" and yet instead, you rail at them with an online petition with no guarantee that anyone with influence at Microsoft will see it or even care. Nothing wrong with the petition of course, but I can't help but f... |

| The guitars are actually a combination of a modeling synth creating a half-decent clean string sound, a little reverb added, then run through some effect pedal sims and an amp sim, with some compressions and a bit more reverb.... not necessarily in that order, but close to it. Electric guitar sampl... |

| Pretty cool. Where'd you get the electric guitar samples? That's what I wanna know. All the electric guitar soundfonts/samples I've found are either insanely expensive (hundreds of dollars) or sound like crap. Being something of a sound designer, myself, I couldn't help but notice there were a coup... |

| My hands are clumsy as they get, ive had to learn to compensate by playing badly on a MIDI keyboard and then editing the notes later in my software of choice. You'd be amazed at how real it can sound nowadays. |

| I tried the win8 CP and it confused the living hell out of me. I have some issues with Windows as it is. I prefer at least the perceived simplicity of OS X, but Win8 takes whatever simplicity gains MS made with win7 and blows them all to hell. I actually had a meltdown just trying to figure out how ... |

| It may have that capability, I'm not sure, i think so but i doubt it's as elegant for those purposes, i tried it once and got sof frustrated i gave up, but for actual MIDI based compositon its great. Assuming of course that you're running a mac. |
