 Music Factory 
Most students enjoy making music, particularly when they can be confident the results will be excellent. Music factory is an easy program that allows anybody to make top quality music. The program is designed to bring music composition within reach of non-musicians. It is not intended to teach music, but to allow users to 'play around' with sound, listening to different parts and trying different combinations of sound, with the aim of eventually recording their own sequences. The main focus is to have fun! This program provides riffs and rhythmic patterns which can be combined in thousands of ways from simple to complex. Any combination will always work. A variety of styles provides something for every age group. You can create music from pre-defined two-bar musical 'patterns.' Compositions are built from sequences of these patterns from all or any of the six instruments that can be in any single music set. Within a music set, the parts are designed to sound effective when put together in almost any combination. There are eight different musical styles available - blues, cheeky, reggae, spooky, salsa, waltz, techno, and the 60's. For each style there are six instruments available, and each instrument can play a number of two-bar musical patterns. You can use ready-made music Set-Ups and you can define your own Set-Ups from the instruments and patterns available in that style. Explore simple and complex sounds with touch monitors, IntelliKeys, mouse or trackerball, and switch access. |
