- DESCRIPTION
-
- At last there is a product for the Amiga(R) computer where young
- children can have fun learning about music! WindShadow Software has
- introduced "Making Music with Bertie Bunny". This is a product that
- is only available for the Commodore(R) Amiga(R) computer. It fully
- employs the multimedia capabilities of the computer.
-
- There are many features to enhance your enjoyment:
-
- - Fun for children of all ages. Even a 2 year old can "Bang Keys"
- to control Bertie. Bertie Bunny will automatically move from
- place to place on the display. The child can simply bang on the
- keys to cause Bertie to choose an instrument or tune.
-
- Older children can use the mouse. This makes it quicker to make
- selections and helps them to develop fine motor skills.
-
- - Learn to recognize the sound of various musical instruments.
-
- - Learn to recognize various musical tunes from one or more of 4
- different parts: the melody, a counterpoint to the melody,
- an obbligato accompaniment or a rhythmic accompaniment.
-
- - Hear how different instruments sound in combination with each
- other.
-
- - Use the computer keyboard as a musical instrument. You can
- select which instrument sounds are to be used and then play
- notes (up to 4 at a time will sound) and see the corresponding
- key-presses on a piano keyboard.
-
- - Readily installs on a hard drive. Installation uses Commodore's
- Installer(R) utility. The Installer(R) program is supplied
- under license from Commodore(R).
-
- - Supports the NTSC and PAL video standards and 6 languages.
-
- - Multitasks on the more powerful models of Amiga. Other software
- can run in the background at a low priority, for example, 3D
- rendering, compiling large programs, or downloading batches of
- files.
-
- - the manual is in AmigaGuide(R) format. The AmigaGuide(R) program
- is supplied under license from Commodore(R).
-
- This product is unusual in that it is easy to use for children as
- young as 2 years old, while providing creative opportunities for
- older children to explore.
