Automated
Composing
System
is
a
clever program that composes music and
saves it as a MIDI file. Select
the style you prefer, choose a key,
chord progression, even a type of
scale
to use, hit the "Compose and Play"
button, and the program does the rest.
You can also select the level of
complexity in the melody and harmony,
and you can orchestrate your
selections with sounds ranging from
strings,
to distorted guitar, to a dog barking.
Any MIDI files created with the
Automated Composing System belong to
the user of the program. This program
is useful for creating music to use
for your Website, or generating
musical
ideas, or other purposes. Plus, it's
fun to play with, and it's free.

VirtMus
(virtual
music)
is a free application that allows
the user to display sheet music
and flip pages without removing the
hands (or feet) from the instrument
the music is performed on. It is
very useful during concerts and
practice
sessions. | Music stands
are usually able to accomodate at
most a single book or 2-3 pages of
loose leaf music at once. When
performing
a longer piece of music, the
musician must often move one of the
hands
away from the instrument to turn the
pages. This interupts the
performance
and breaks the flow of music
especially when the page turn occurs
during
a musically demanding passage.
| This software allows the
user
to create "songs" out of sheet music
images obtained from a scanner,
digital
camera, or pdf, and "PlayLists" out
of the "songs". During a
performance,
the user can simply press a mouse
button to move to the next /
previous
page or press various keyboard keys
to advance the music. |
USB foot switches are available
which emulate mouse button presses
thus
freeing the hands to play the
instrument. Even without a
FootSwitch, using
a laptop display avoids the problem
of books that don't stay open, or
loose
leaf pages that fly off the music
stand when the wind (or HVAC unit)
blows.

enjoying it. "Download.com"
