- Announcing MidiLab/2
-
- MidiLab/2 is a MIDI Sequencer, Editor and data manager application for OS/2
- Version 2. Its primary functions- Record, Overdub, Playback, and Track Edit,
- and the other supporting functions, are controlled by CUA compliant PM user
- interface controls.
-
- MidiLab/2 exploits the power of OS/2, including 32-bit operation,
- multi-threading, and Presentation Manager functions. It features minimal
- hardware and storage requirements while providing a high level of function
- and performance. MidiLab/2 supports the MIDI 1.0 File Specification.
- There are no special hardware nor software requirements other than a Roland
- MPU-401/IPC/IMC MIDI Processing Unit (or a compatible OEM unit which emulates
- the MPU in non-UART mode), and any system capable of running OS/2 Version 2, MCA
- or AT bus.
-
- While a musician unfamiliar with computers should be able to readily
- use MidiLab/2 as a multi-track recorder, its full capability can best be
- realized with a reasonable knowledge of MIDI concepts and terminology, and
- general computer operation. It is assumed the user is familiar with
- MIDI-compatible equipment, and is aware of the role of a sequencer in a
- MIDI-based audio system.
-
- MidiLab/2 targets the Multimedia creator, the MIDI musician, and
- hobbyists/home users in general as potential users of the program.
