PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introducing SuperJAM!, music software for the tone-deaf and
talented alike. SuperJAM!'s ability to write music in an
unlimited number of styles will open your ears to fresh ideas,
exciting rhythms and mesmerizing feats of all kinds.
Never before has writing music been so easy! Using SuperJAM!'s
expert features, you can create your own chords, rhythms, and
melodies, whether you read music or not. You can invent drum
tracks, design sections and combine musical styles at the touch
of a button. In fact, you can compose an entire song without
ever touching a musical instrument.
SuperJAM! comes complete with everything you need to write
music, including an interactive on-screen keyboard and the new
Eas-O-Matic MusicMaker for instant melodies and chord
progressions. Consider the Keyboard window your musical sketch
pad. Here you can listen to each Style in action, while changing
the tempo, adjusting the key and assigning each member of your
SuperJAM! band. Plus, you can perform complex chords with a
single finger!
The Eas-O-Matic MusicMaker helps you make musical decisions
effortlessly. Just put your hands on the bottom row of your
computer keyboard and you're ready to compose. The Eas-O-Matic
MusicMaker can even write a melody for you, if you like.
Once you're ready to start "putting your ideas on paper," you
can click on the Keyboard's Section window button to create a
new musical segment. Enter your new section's name and length
and you're ready to go. SuperJAM! provides several ways to
record your ideas: Draw them, play them or use the Eas-O-Matic
MusicMaker, to name a few. The Section window features
tremendous editing Tools, including a pattern-style grid,
snapshot recorder, and icon-based note control. Plus, SuperJAM!
doesn't limit the number of musical sections you can create!
SuperJAM! lets you assign a different band to each section of
your music and change your mind as many times as you like. After
all, you're the producer with the SuperJAM! band. You can
interactively assign your choice of instrument to the drum,
bass, strings, guitar, piano and solo players and use
SuperJAM!'s graphical mixing grid to adjust each band member's
volume and panning.
SuperJAM! 's Song window brings it all together. Here you can
arrange and rearrange your music. You can record a melody line
by using the Eas-O-Matic MusicMaker or playing your own from
your computer or MIDI keyboard. The Song window also saves your
music to MIDI file format to use with MPC-compatible software.
SuperJAM! includes over two dozen top-quality musical Styles.
Custom-designed by professional composers, each contains complex
musical instructions that help SuperJAM! make your music
lifelike and original. Mozart to Motown. Hip-hop to bebop. Rock
'n roll to rap and soul. It's all included with SuperJAM! And
