Title: Any music software?
Post by: sim085 on March 09, 2009, 02:50:36 PM

Hi,

I was wondering if there was/is any music software package? I am not sure but I do remember my brother had some software where notes where selected from a menu and then played. Did such software exist for the Amiga?

Regards,
Sim085

Deluxe Music, Bars and Pipes, SuperJam!, and about a zillion different trackers should fulfill any music needs.

I am not a musician and therefore have no experience of such software. My girl friend is a musician and would like to give her a surprise and show her that my A500+ can do things related to her work as well. I know Amiga was used a lot for multimedia in the past but I do not know the names of such packages nor do I know if they are still available.

If you look for something with real notation, good old Aegis Sonix comes to mind.

What do you mean by real notation?

What I am looking for is something like Sibelius ... obviously I know it might not be up to such a standard!

Tsk, if you need to ask  :lol:

It's the standard method of writing music on paper. The old fashioned way with the horizontal lines and notes all over the place !

I believe I still have a copy of Dr. T's music software somewhere which could convert signals from a midi device into notation  :-o  Yes, it could also play notated music back on the midi device. I had a bit of fun recording the ex missus playing the midi piano, and then playing it back to her  :lol:

It seems Aegis Sonix does have real notation (I now understand what this means). Do the others come with real notation support as well? OctaMED, Bars & Pipes, SuperJam, and Delux Music?

btw - just out of curiosity; do you people still use such software? I am here just for the Amiga fun, but I am really interested to know if anyone still uses these machines for work! :)

On my Amiga, from time to time I use tracker-type software: Milkytracker, Hivelytracker, and I'd like to start doing some SID as well with Goattracker. And HDRec when I need to edit mp3s.
