- CHORDMASTER - Unregistered Version 2.0 Chord Chemistry Program for Guitar

-
- 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.
