A user-friendly alternative for XG-Works, BIAB and Jammer

2003-11-20 by josmaas

Version 6.0 of One Man Band can be downloaded at 
http://www.1manband.nl

The main addition in this version is a complete new 
sequencer/arranger that offers an user-friendly alternative for XG-
Works, BIAB and Jammer. In a large grid (viewing 64 bars at once) you 
can place chords and parts from up to 10 different styles. Melody can 
be recorded and edited. Parts of the sequence can be exported and 
imported into other sequences.

There are 25 new styles included. Adaptions have been made for vocal 
harmonizers, MIDI guitars and MIDI accordions. The help functions 
have been improved with a help button on each window and popup info 
when you point the mouse at any object on the screen.

OMB uses a 3 level concept for music creation:

Level 1: Create or modify a style. Rip tracks from MIDI files and 
styles and put them together in a new style.
Level 2: Improvise using the virtual arranger keyboard. Try ideas 
with chord and melody variations in different styles.
Level 3: Record an arrangement with the sequencer. Make modifications 
and save it in a MIDI file.

Registration of One Man Band is still $30 and registered users have 
received a free update.
