The
Virtual Pianola program is a MIDI file player that allows
you to modify the performance in ways similar to the use
of an old fashioned Pianola Piano. Simple monotonous MIDI files
can be converted into live sounding performances. A gamepad
with two analog joysticks is required. Any MIDI device can
be used for output including hardware and software synths
and solenoid pianos that allow MIDI input. Full use instructions
are included in the help file which is accessible when the
program is loaded.
The
Karaoke Text Adder program is also a MIDI file player but
with a different purpose. It allows the addition of lyrics
to a MIDI file with minimal effort. Instead of having to
type lyrics into a sequencer program, the program works from
a text file. Lyrics for many songs are available on the internet
so the task of typing the lyrics is already done in most
cases. The Karaoke Adder program automatically converts the
text into syllables and adds them to the MIDI file when the
user presses the space key. All you have to do is keep time
with the space key. The rest is done by the program. Full
use instructions are included in the help file which is accessible
when the program is loaded.
A
free
"Virtual" Wind Chime (WindChime) that can be configured
for a mix of random and programmed response. The user has control
over many variable that contribute to the pattern of notes.
Modes and keys can be chosen as well as many other parameters
which will produce and endless variety of effects. Based on
MIDI event generation, it can be used with any MIDI hardware
or software synthesizer. The better the synth, the better the
sound. The default Microsoft Wavetable Synth is the bare minimum
and produces a passable sound. A good sound card with a good
sound sample set will produce much better results.
