No, Studio Session uses another proprietary format. May require an ADB-MIDI interface box on top of your synth or sound canvas. Sounds best if you're going for realism but it's annoying to get what you need if you don't have it in connectivity. You can do more instruments (but I couldn't tell you how many) at once. I think this early version certainly runs on an SE/30, might run on a SE.
Super Studio Session (follow-up version): uses up to 8 free waveforms, sound quality can go up to 22 kHz, requires more than a Mac Plus.Ĭubase 1.0: I don't know much about it, but I know you can do MIDI-like composition on it, as in, the hardware that produces the music is outside of the mac and you just send it MIDI commands. This is a crude, but effective attempt to mimick what digital audio sampled-based synthetizers are doing. Instruments are sounding much more realistic but everything is limited by 11 kHz sound quality iirc. Studio Session (first version): uses up to 6 free waveforms and patches them together by code, far surpassing the basic limitation of playing 1 free waveform of the Sound Driver. I always ranked the various very early music notation software in terms of capability in my mind in this way:Ĭoncertware: uses the 4-tone synthetizer of the Sound Driver, which lets it have simply defined short waveforms (allowing it rash sounding 8-bit like square wave form, to smooth flute-ish sines) and 4 instruments playing at once. I wrote you on facebook in the Apple Enthusiast group, but I'll repost here for the sake of discussion here:
AIFF samples to play (mono, 22kHz sample rate, 8-bit depth) with no luck, either. Any ideas on how to get it to play? Here is a GIF with some "screenshots" of the MIDI file and what happens when you try to open it.Īre there any other good options for playing MIDI files on a Mac running System 6 in software? I've also tried getting short. I've tried this on Mini vMac, my Macintosh SE and my Macintosh Classic - all with the same results. I've had luck finding MIDI playback software for System 7, but the only program for System 6 I've been able to find - ConcertWare - doesn't want to work.ĬoncertWare opens, but will not allow me to open any MIDI files. I've been wanting to see if MIDI playback or software synthesis is a possibility on a compact Mac running System 6 so I can play music (MIDI files) without the need for external MIDI devices. I've discussed this a couple other times in some other spots, but still haven't been able to find a solution.
