I originally wrote MIDIKeys for personal use with no intention of releasing it as SHAREWARE. I had alot of sequenced songs that I neglected to document, and forgotten the specific chords that were used (I could have listened to the sequences and tried to figure it out by ear, but...). I needed a utility that could read MIDI data and display it on a keyboard graphic, allowing me to 'see' the chords that I had played. I did have some utilities that could read and display the raw data, but reconstructing chords from MIDI note numbers was not my idea of fun.
I began to write MIDIKeys. Version 1.0 had only a keyboard display. I decided that this might be a useful item to other MIDI users, so I included other important information.
Please try MIDIKeys, give it to anyone who uses MIDI, or whomever you think might benefit from this program. Keep in mind that MIDIKeys is
S H A R E W A R E
and we all know what that means. I don't think I have to remind everybody. I am asking what I consider to be a reasonable donation for this product. Your support and suggestions will encourage me to further develop MIDIKeys and future applications.
If you do register your copy, you will be provided with a reference #. This will assure that you can own updated versions of MIDIKeys without paying for them as well as the right to customer support (or should I say user help). I can be reached on Compuserve @ 70272,473. Direct all bug reports, new feature requests, and questions to me either by E-mail or by standard mail. My address can be found in the About... of MIDIKeys.
I would like to stress that I do not support myself solely as a programmer ( I am a begginer to be quite honest), which means that I have a regular day job. I will try to answer any questions you have in a timely manner, but please forgive me if I do not.
Hope you enjoy!
