- Thank you for trying out the Aleatoric Composer.
- This package attempts to create music using random
- and conditional probabilities according to parameters
- you set.
-
- This is a shareware product, but is fully functional (not cripple-ware).
- If you like it I encourage you to register it (only US $5) and help
- support future music software I'd like to create.
-
- To run the program, you will need a 386SX or higher, Windows 3.1,
- and a Sound Card or MIDI Card that has the appropriate drivers
- loaded in Windows 3.1. You will also need to have the MIDI Mapper
- (General MIDI) and the MCI Sequencer enabled. Or, you can save
- the MIDI files and play them on your own sequencing software.
- The Help file contains full instructions on using the system
- as well as some troubleshooting tips on setting up.
- Just hit F1 when you load the system.
-
- Simply copy the files from the archive into a suitable directory
- (e.g. c:\alcomp). Then, click on File-New from the Program Manager
- in Windows and setup this system as a Program Item. Then use
- browse or type in the file name (alcomp.exe) and default
- directory. It should find the icon in the alcomp.exe file
- automatically.
-
- The package should contain the following files:
-
- readme.1st The file you are reading
- alcomp.exe The actual file to run from Windows 3.1
- bwcc.dll Control library necessary to run alcomp.exe
- alcomp.hlp Help file (for Windows 3.1)
- register.wri Registration form for Windows Write
