PS dec 28 Anvil needs one to pay for a printing plugin
This program pt does not though - it prints freely ( standard notation for all instruments as well as guitar TAB and a tutorial explaining its uses with graphic screen shots is available free to instrument purchasers or paid subscribers or seperately
ANVIL is a more complex program than the other ones. This does what
Noteworthy player does
but Anvil does a LOT more too.
However first download noteworthy player to get the basic ideas of the possibilities is my suggestion !
Download the program for the
red attachment below (if you have dialup please be patient it might take a good 15 - 20 mins ) .This program will enable:
1) TRANSPOSING: Bb and Eb Instruments ( Clarinets trumpets/ saxophones etc ) can transpose midi files to their key both the sound and the prinitable bersions . transposing can also be used to copy any part ( say a clarinet part ) to a part an octave highee or lower ( so thus creating a bassoon part or cello part by also changing the instruments. Another use for transposing is to take the melody and make it sound a third or sixth interval below to enrich the melody
2) As with noteworthy player you can import a midi file and see the notation but with this program
you can ALSO PRINT out any midi file as notation !
3) Keyboards / digital pianos with either USB or MIDI CONNECTION KITS ( midi out to USB ) can record direct onto their PCs with this program
4) You can change each track to different instruments. You might prefer a SLAP BASS to a FINGERED BASS for instance
5) You can mute your SOLO part and play along with the band backing !
6) You can copy on track to another and then change the instrument on the new track ( doubling - trippling harmonies etc.)
7) you can record to your PC from a midi out connection on keyboard ( using a midi connection kit ) or straight from a USB keyboard or enter the notes in with a mouse and make 16 track arrangements and save them as a MIDI file
- remember to export as a FORMAT 0 file if you want to use the file to play step lessons on USB casio lighting keyboards, and then browse for it with the casio software before sending to keyboardAs well as many other functions !
This is relatively light weight midi sequencing software but almost comparable to expensive programs - like Cakewalk CUbase Midinotate
