- CHORDMASTER is state-of-the-art chord chemistry software designed specifically
- for guitarists. Though it was created with guitarists in mind, the concepts
- explored can be applied to a variety of musical instruments. CHORDMASTER is
- an invaluable aid and reference, useful for a variety of educational and
- compositional purposes.
-
- At its heart, CHORDMASTER is a Chord Chemistry Engine that can present,
- display, identify and resolve chords for the user. This new version
- introduces a conceptual departure in the computer music world - a music
- sequencer that combines traditional guitar tablature with timing, fingering
- and tuning information that works with MIDI or sound cards.
-
- Tracks come ALIVE using this program! The user sees the fingering of the
- piece in real-time as it is played. Controls are provided (as in a typical
- sequencer) to set tempo, tuning, position and other facilities. Making
- this program a jamming partner, music teacher; or a way to exchange music!
-
- How are stringed instruments like the guitar handled differently in a
- sequencing application? A guitarist can use many different fingerings
- and positions to play a piece (some easier than others!), with a variety
- of timbral differences.
-
- The True Power of "AXE" Files - Finally, a way for guitarists to exchange
- and store music! The "AXE" file stores the fingering, timing, tuning, and
- patch information created in the "Tab View" Sequencer/Editor.
-
- Better yet, "AXE" files can be exported or converted to standard MIDI
- (.MID) Type I files! Multiple tracks can be created in CHORDMASTER,
- exported in the MIDI format, and merged into your favorite standard MIDI
- sequencer! Why deal with guitar (or any other tracks!) in a keyboard-based
- sequencer if your more comfortable with a guitar fretboard?
-
- Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, PC-compatible or MS-DOS computer w/640k RAM,
- MIDI device or ADLIB, Sound Blaster compatible sound card recommended.
