CHORDMASTER - Unregistered Version 2.0 Chord Chemistry Program for Guitar
Copyright (c) 1991,1992,1993 by Robert Watson
All Rights Reserved
CHORDMASTER is state-of-the-art chord chemistry software designed
specifically for guitarists. Though it was created with guitarists
in mind, the concepts explored can be applied to a variety of musical
instruments. CHORDMASTER is designed to be an educational aid and
reference, useful for a variety of educational and compositional
purposes.
At its heart, CHORDMASTER is a Chord Chemistry Engine that can present,
display, identify and resolve chords for the user. This new version
introduces a conceptual departure in the computer music world - a music
sequencer that combines traditional guitar tablature with timing, fingering
and tuning information that works with MIDI or sound cards.
Tracks come ALIVE using this program! The user sees the fingering of the
piece in real-time as it is played. Controls are provided (as in a typical
sequencer) to set tempo, tuning, position and other facilities. Making
this program a jamming partner, music teacher; or a way to exchange music!
How are stringed instruments like the guitar handled differently in a
sequencing application? A guitarist can use many different fingerings
and positions to play a piece (some easier than others!), with a variety
of timbral differences.
The True Power of "AXE" Files - Finally, a way for guitarists to exchange
and store music! The "AXE" file stores the fingering, timing, tuning, and
patch information created in the "Tab View" Sequencer/Editor.
Better yet, "AXE" files can be exported or converted to standard MIDI
(.MID) Type I files! Multiple tracks can be created in CHORDMASTER,
exported in the MIDI format, and merged into your favorite standard MIDI
sequencer! Why deal with guitar (or any other tracks!) in a keyboard-based
sequencer if your more comfortable with a guitar fretboard?
If you enjoy CHORDMASTER, please register and/or upgrade this software.
Our prices are kept incredibly low because we believe that there are
many musicians out there who will support this product, and support its
future development. We keep in contact with our users, and solicit their
ideas for future development. That's why most of the original registered
users of CHORDMASTER upgraded within a few weeks of the release of this
new version!
CHORDMASTER (Reg. Version, price $20) - Includes an expanded chord library
which will display tens of thousands of different chords, as well as an
integrated chord librarian and editor. This allows the user to add new
chords and create custom chord libraries. Plus, the registered version
includes a dozen classic guitar pieces in .AXE format! Registered users
are also kept informed of the latest upgrade information; and have free
access to new .AXE files, as they become available.
CHORDMASTER PRO PLUS (Reg. Version, price $25) - Includes all of the above,
plus the unique full featured "Point and Shoot" Tab View sequence editor.
"The Point and Shoot Editor" - Forget about having to enter a stream of
fret and string numbers to enter songs in tablature! The "Point and Shoot"
editor makes song entry as easy as using your mouse! Just point to the
notes on the fretboard and click! Your left mouse button sets the fret,
string and note length, while the right button advances you through the
song. Whole chords can even be pasted from CHORDMASTER's chord "DISPLAY"
mode! The "Tab View Editor" even supports "block" editing operations;
repeated sections can be copied to the clipboard and pasted in new areas,
to speed your work! The "Point and Shoot" Editor is ONLY available with
CHORDMASTER PRO PLUS!
CHORDMASTER BASIC (Reg. Version, price $15) - Intended for users who don't
have a Sound Card/MIDI device; but still want to explore Chord Chemistry.
This version includes the expanded chord library which will display tens
of thousands of different chords, as well as an integrated chord librarian
and editor.
