The Apple MIDI Music Solution contains everything you need toget acquainted–or reacquainted –with the wonders of playing an instrument and composing your own music.
It delivers powerful music composing, editing, recording, and playback capabilities to anyone with a Macintosh computer, from music professionals to students.
This music solution has everything you need to create a MIDI music studio in your home, office, or school: a Roland keyboard with stereo mixer, Musicshop software from Opcode, an Apple MIDI Interface, QuickTime 2.0 software, and a library of MIDI music clips.
When paired with a Macintosh computer, the solution gives the beginning music student a simple yet comprehensive introduction to playing a musical instrument and reading music. The combination also gives the demanding professional musician a sophisticated yet affordable MIDI music laboratory.
The Roland PC-200mkII is a professional-quality keyboard with 49 keys, and includes many MIDI control functions normally found in far more costly keyboards.
The Roland SC-7 Sound Module mixer puts 128 instruments and drums at your fingertips for recording and editing and has a built-in mixer with studio-quality reverb and chorus.
Opcode Musicshop is music software that records as you play, and allows you to edit and rerecord segments using 16 MIDI channels. Also included is a library of drum patterns, bass lines, and chord changes that you can use for creat-ing your own music.
The Apple MIDI Music Solution is the easy, affordable way to turn your Macintosh into a music studio.
