Amadeus is a powerful tool that allows you to process, generate and
analyze sounds.
Amadeus provides most standard features of commercial programs like frequency
filtering, echoing, transposing, and so on, but also more original tools like
sophisticated sound synthesizers, interpolation of damaged sounds, generation
of precise sonograms, …
This program is not a freeware. If you decide to keep it and want to
be able to save your files, send me 25$ in order to get your personal registration
code (see the paragraph "Registering Amadeus below"). Thank you very much!
This version works on any Macintosh with System 7.1 or later, including MacOS 8
and 8.1. It is a fat binary, so it will work more efficiently on a PowerMacintosh,
even though it works also on older machines.

Registering Amadeus
Amadeus has the following pricing:
1- 10 single user licenses, $25 per user
11+ single user licenses, $15 per user
A Site License costs $400 (roughly equal to 27 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site (100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software. A World-Wide License costs $1600 and it covers all locations for your organization on the earth.
Paying for Amadeus is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies Amadeus. Enter your name, your email (or/and postal) address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or World-Wide licenses). Save, Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If you pay with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save thedata to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-L85A
Berkeley, California
94709-1405 USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed. Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
Protection
Amadeus has a protection scheme and when you pay, we give you a registration code in order to indicate to Amadeus that you have paid the registration fee. If you do not have an email address, please enter your complete postal address and please remember, we do not know what country you live in so please enter that into the postal address also. If you do not have an email address you should consider selecting the Postcard Receipt so that Kagi can inform you of your registration code. Kagi transmits the registration codes via email and paid postcard receipt only.
