Recording Session makes music fun for both beginning and experienced musicians alike. This MIDI recording and editing program displays and highlights music in standard notation. It's easy to fine tune your music with the Score View and MIDI Event List View. The Integrated Mixing Board enhances the recording studio feel of the program and makes you feel like a recording engineer.
The included MIDI adapter cable and joystick connector extension allows you a direct interface to all standard MIDI devices and instruments---from MIDI microphones to keyboards---directly to your PC running Windows 3.1 or later. If you've got a sound card and you want to get more sound out of it, the MIDI Kit with Recording Session is an excellent value for musicians and non-musicians alike.
Music Mentor with Recording Session is the first Windows-based multimedia environment that combines music education and entertainment with the excitement of music creation in an affordable, integrated package. It's the perfect software for anyone getting started with computers and music. Get an introduction to the basics, learn about music history, then take what you've learned and use it to make your own music.
Music Mentor is a fun way to learn about the basics of music. You'll start at the very beginning with simple definitions of six essential elements of music: melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, texture, and form. As each section progresses, you'll be introduced to more challenging material.
In addition to covering the six essential elements of music, there is also a section on the basics of reading music. Even if you've never read a note of music in your life, you'll catch on fast as concepts like pitch reading and the notation of rhythm are brought to life through simple interactive activities.
Once you've sampled the basics, take yourself on a quick tour of music history. Examples from each of the six topic areas are presented within the historical context of five musical periods: Early Music, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern. You'll see and hear how composers throughout history used the essential elements of musical expression to create some of the greatest pieces of all time.
All of the music in Music Mentor is stored in Standard MIDI File format, so you have full access to all the music used in the program. After listening to and learning about different pieces and musical styles, you can work with the same music files in Midisoft Recording Session for Windows. The two programs are designed to work together so you can play an example in Music Mentor and immediately open up Recording Session to explore the piece you were just listening to.
Enjoy some of the greatest music of all time-for a song! There's no better way to get started building your own library of great MIDI recordings. For less than $1 per piece you can sample the music of Bach, Mozart, Scott Joplin, and others. You can practice jazz, work with drum patterns, or play with a new pop groove.
Whether you're running Windows or DOS, using an FM sound card or a full-blown MIDI rig, you'll be able to use and enjoy every piece in the World of Music Sampler. There's something for everyone.
The World of Music Sampler is even more useful with the MusicMagic Interactive Player/Arranger, a unique environment that gives you the ability to explore and enjoy the music in the library. View the music in standard music notation and edit it using MusicMagic's mixer or a variety of editing tools.
The Midisoft Multimedia Music Library is a collection of music designed for use in multimedia presentations. Distributed on floppy disk in Standard MIDI File Format, the library is compatible with Midisoft's MPC sequencing environment, Midisoft Studio for Windows and Midisoft Recording Session for Windows, and with any other MIDI playback and editing software that reads Standard MIDI Files.
The library comes with MIDIBase, an easy-to-use front end that lets you audition any piece in the library. In addition, MIDIBase gives you information such as the title of the piece you are listening to, its file name and length, a description of the piece, its composer, and comments. All you need is a MIDI-capable sound card (or a MIDI interface card and an external MIDI device) and you're ready to go.

Music enthusiasts around the world will tell you that no other music software for the PC gives you as much fun and value as Studio for Windows. Compose and arrange your own tunes. Play and edit existing pieces. Print music scores. And marvel as your musical performance appears instantly on the screen as standard music notation. We put the fun back into music software by striking the ideal balance between power and ease-of-use.
Record, edit, and view your music in standard notation via the Score View window. Each track in a song is automatically placed on its own staff. Even if you don't have a MIDI keyboard, you can still add and delete notes on the score with Studio's flexible, intuitive tool palette interface. Cut and paste music right on the screen. Click and drag notes to change pitch and rhythm. Set key signatures and time signatures. Output music to any Windows-supported printer just as it appears in the score.
Midisoft Studio for Windows was a finalist (one of only three programs chosen from the hundreds of other products drawn from the entire world of entertainment software) at the 1992 PC Magazine Awards for Technical Excellence. The program has been enthusiastically received all over the world and is generally regarded as an excellent music software choice for beginning and intermediate level MIDI musicians.
MusicMagic Songbook is really two products in one: 1) the Music Magic Listening Library, a collection of over 100 pieces of music in a wide variety of musical styles, and 2) the MusicMagic Interactive Player/Arranger, a unique environment that gives you the ability to explore and enjoy the music in the library.
MusicMagic Songbook has something for everyone. For youngsters, there's a collection of well-known children's songs, complete with lyrics, for sing-along fun. For older children there are songs in familiar popular styles. And for those whose tastes run to the classics, there's a large selection of some of the most famous pieces of music ever written.
Sound Impression is a full-featured sound recording and production system for Windows 3.1. It offers an intuitive stereo component rack-mount interface that lets you play, record, edit, modify, mix, compose, and combine sound and music from a range of sources. As easy as it is to learn and use, the program packs all the speed, power, and sophistication you need to get the most out of your multimedia-compatible hardware.
In addition to being an easy-to-use multiple-session wave recorder and player, the Wave Recorder/Player serves as the gateway to Sound Impression's three major "off-rack" components--the Wave Composer, the Session Manager, and the 16-session Waveform Editor.
The MIDI Player features a programming panel that lets you organize your favorite MIDI tracks and save your Play Lists to disk. It also includes a handy popup reference list and quick-switch box, plus Skip, Scan, and Loop capabilities to help you hit just the right note.
The CD Player plays audio compact discs. It includes a programming panel that lets you choose which tracks you want to hear and in what order. Your Play Lists are saved to disk for later retrieval whenever you load the same CDs.
The Waveform Editor includes a complete set of waveform editing tools. You can load existing *.WAV files, record, and copy, cut, or paste waveform data. The Waveform Editor also carries its own Object Linking and Embedding function to allow you to transfer your creations to other OLE-compliant Windows applications.
