Makes tunes from musical Seeds. You can select these from a drop list, enter the numbers by hand, or play a new seed using the p.c. keyboard enabled for sound. If you have a music keyboard, you can use that too.

Includes authentic tunings for instruments such as Sitar and Japanese Koto, as well as for Early music, Jazz, Gamelan, ethnic tunings, and many tunings invented more recently, whch can be selected from drop lists. You can also select from any of 128 melodic instruments, and 41 percussion sounds (drums, cowbells, etc), with up to 16 instruments playing simultaneously. Result can be saved in MIDI file format - small files suitable for web pages or e-mail.

You can also play in any of the tunings yourself. Some such as the Japanese Koto scale are particularly good for improvisation - anything you play sounds good.
