PianoSim 1.0 introduction:
Here is a new software called PianoSim 1.0 I created for the Macintosh. It's
a music instrument simulation with full music input and edit ability. You
can use mouse click (sweep) or keystroke to play music real time. You can
choose your favorite instrument from a panel of choices, including piano,
bell, flute, guitar, sax... You can record your performance in real time
and save it as a file for future playback. The software has a full featured
editor, so you can edit and modify your performance. You can also just input
your favorite music and save it as a record, for future playback and
entertainment. The time duration of each note is accurate up to one tick
(1/60 sec), the music symbol shown doesn't change the exact time duration
embedded. You can control sound volume, play back speed (tempo), and pitch
of all the piano keys within two octave. You can personalize your
computerkey-pianokey correspondence and save your setting.
Several of my favorite music is provided, including Fur Elise, love story,
and a few Christmas carols. If you enter your favorite records, I'd love
to have a copy if you are willing to offer (if you don't like the record
to be included in future updates, please say so, I will honor your request).
The software can be fun for adult as well as for child. I'd be very happy
to know if you like it and have a good time with it.
PianoSim 1.0 is distributed as shareware, and ask for $25 shareware fee. But
if you REALLY couldn't afford it, send me any amount you prefer. I could have
asked for less, but as a poor grad student and currently looking for job, I need
all the help I can get now to get over this difficult time. Registered
user will receive a Thank You letter together with registration code to
personalize your copy, and receive any future updates free. The software is
not protected, please only distribute unregistered copies.
PianoSim 1.0 currently requires Color QuickDraw, so it will not run on
Mac Plus, SE, Classic. Future updates may have this ability. It╒s tested
on MacII, IIcx, IIx, IIsi, IIci, IIfx, Quadra 700, under system 7 and 6.0.5 up.
Any bug reports, suggestions, comments, etc. are all welcome.
Thank you for your time and hope you have fun with PianoSim.
I am currently looking for a mac programming position (I am a Univ. of
Chicago graduate student getting my degree), if you have a job
offer or any information that may help, please contact me. I also wrote a
game for Macintosh called SpaceInvader!, which can be downloaded from
sumex.stanford.edu under info-mac/game directory. Have a try if you like games.
