Description
MusiPoc enables you to edit tunes of up to 4000 notes or breaks. Tunes can be edited in one or two voices. Tunes or parts of tunes can be played, with or without an optional metronom.
Tunes are stored as files (.SND). Using module TUNPLAY, you can play any tune out of a program or application. Tunes from MusiPoc for S3 (TUN) are converted.
The user interface of the editor is compatible to other Series 3 applications. You should refer to your Users Manual for basic application handling.
Restrictions
The size of tunes is limited to a total of 4000 notes and rests.
The metronom is only available with one-voiced tunes.
MusiPoc does not support trioles or syncopes due to timing restrictions in the S3a sound system.
