Introduction

JAZZ++ is a full size MIDI sequencer with audio support. In addition to basic sequencer functions like record and play, JAZZ++ provides many edit features like quantize, copy, transpose, graphical pitch editing, multiple undo/redo etc.

JAZZ++ has two main windows; one operating on the song as a whole, and one operating on single tracks and single events. Among the other windows and dialogs are mixer windows for easy adjusting of default track parameters, and all settings are saved into the MIDI file for later use.

JAZZ++ has support for GM (General MIDI) equipment with both GS and XG extensions.

JAZZ++ offers special functions like GS/XG sound editing, setting of effect types, a random rhythm generator and a harmony browser. Windows versions of JAZZ++ can be synchronized to other sound equipment (e.g. a tape recorder) using Midi Time Code (MTC) or SongPointer synchronization techniques.

As an extension to normal MIDI sequencing, JAZZ++ provides audio play (*.wav files), audio recording and audio/midi integration. A multi function audio editor is also included. Please note that without a license, the sound output resulting from audio samples will be low-pass filtered (sound bad) after a few seconds of playing.

Use of JAZZ++ requires a personal license. However, use for evaluation purposes and operations like copying and distribution is permitted without license under certain conditions. Please read the section Copyright for full copyright- and disclaimer information.

When run in evaluation mode (i.e. without a license), some of the functions of JAZZ++ will be limited. However, the program will have enough functionality to allow a full, free evaluation.
