The Kawasaki programs are easy to use and fun, but not really enough for true composition. Take a look at Music Construction Set, or one of the other ones that let you set the exact perameters of the sound. INFO 64 did a review of quite a few music programs about a year ago - I would recomend the article. -Tom

This is a set of Music utilities that was originally published in "All About the Commodore 64 Volume II" by Craig Chamberlain, published by Compute! books. Almost all of the music I've seen on BBS's around here use the SID format. The older standard was "Master Composer" which was very flexible but also reportadly very difficult to use. Master Composer music can be recognized by the use of SYS 30120 to start up. SIDPLAYER music uses a player program external to the actual music file. Since Master Composer music has the player included, the files tend to be much larger. -- Jim Harvey | "Ask not for whom the bell Michigan Bell Telephone | tolls and you will only pay 29777 Telegraph | Station-to-Station rates."
