MiBAC JAZZ IMPROVISATION SOFTWARE NOW SHIPPING
NORTHFIELD, Minnesota, February 7, 1990--MiBAC Music Software, Inc. announces
the release of MiBAC™ Jazz Improvisation Software for Macintosh family
computers. MiBAC™ Jazz Improvisation Software turns your Mac into a jazz band.
If you play jazz, or ever wanted to play jazz, our program lets you use the
Mac as your own jazz band. Once you’ve set the style, song form, key, tempo,
and typed the chords, MiBAC sends piano, bass and drum MIDI data to your MIDI
synthesizers. In seconds you can be playing any song you want with a three
piece band that really swings. You can now practice, compose, and arrange
songs with a jazz band that is ready to play whenever you are. MiBAC Jazz
Improvisation Software represents three years of research and development,
and brings jazz study into the age of MIDI technology.
“MiBAC Jazz Improvisation Software is a music industry first, making it
convenient to produce your own jazz improv play-along accompaniments...
[MiBAC is] an innovative product with a multitude of jazz education
applications... Its compositional creativeness and flexibility are impressive,”
writes John Kuzmich, editor of the International Association of Jazz Educators
(IAJE Journal, Spring 1990).
David N. Baker, Distinguished Professor of Music at Indiana University,
remarks, “MiBAC Jazz Improvisation Software represents a breakthrough in jazz,
sure to have an impact on generations of musicians.”
MiBAC songs can be written and played in four jazz styles: Jazz 4/4, Latin,
Slow 4, and Jazz 3/4. Styles can be combined within a song. The song form can
be up to 128 measures long with an Introduction, Coda, and repeating Chorus.
The total song length can be 480 measures or greater, depending on the total
RAM memory available. Songs can be looped so they will play as long as the
user wants. The MiBAC screen display closely resembles standard sheet music,
so musicians feel at home the first time they use the program. Because all of
the musical ideas used in MiBAC were played by jazz musicians, MiBAC creates
the spontaneity of a live performance. MiBAC's extensive library of musical
ideas insure that every repeating chorus will sound unique. MiBAC songs can be
saved as Standard MIDI files, which can be read by other sequencer and notation
programs.
MiBAC Jazz Improvisation Software will increase the productivity of the jazz
student, the jazz educator, and the professional jazz player. Jima Britain,
Manager of the University of Oregon Center for Advanced Technology in Education
says, “With MiBAC I can write a song in seconds that would take me hours or
days to write using a sequencer program.”
MiBAC Jazz Improvisation Software requires a Macintosh® Plus or later model,
two drives, MIDI Interface, and MIDI synthesizers capable of producing piano,
bass, and drum sounds.
Priced at $295.00, MiBAC Jazz Improvisation Software is available now from:
