We are forming a group of musicians, and since many of us compose as we go, we need a means to record in a readable form what we are playing, so the others can follow. Albert | ||

Usually it goes to a syntasizer, but there is a connection cable with a 5 or 6 pin male plug (in a metal circle about 7/16's diameter) which could be plugged into a computer card (if one exists).

Features: - Automatically convert any MIDI file into a sheet music score. - convert Karaoke (.kar) files to sheet music, and displays the lyrics - Automatically analyzes and displays chord names - Splits piano (or other keyboard) tracks into right- and left-hand staves, based on thorough analysis of hand positions and finger motions. -Lets you practice a section of a song any number of times that you specify, with optionally increasing tempo, and with pauses between each repeat. - Lets you add rehearsal marks which can be used specify the section of the song you wish to practice with the above feature. - Automatically turns pages during playback. - Supports MIDI keyboards, MIDI guitars, and other MIDI controllers, so that your performance can be routed to channels and MIDI patches (instrument sounds) on other devices. - Plays back MIDI files while displaying the music notes - Prints sheet music with many flexible options - Lets you correct and edit errors that MidiNotate might make in transcribing the MIDI to music notation What do you think ? Is that what you need ? Best regards, Red | ||
