MUSIC ACT version 1.0 beta (unregistered)



Music Act is a simple tool to play a  list  of  different  song-files  in  maybe
different  song-formats  by  executing  selectable cli-players for songs-formats
directly.

In fact, so you can play OctaMED-midi-songs and SMF (Standart Midi  Files)  etc.
in  a  various  series.  The only requirement is, that  you  have  a  CLI-player
(OctaMEDPlayer, MidiPlay etc.)  for your song-formats. It's possible  to  use  4
different players and so 4 different song-formats.

Music  Act  works  like  an  remote  control for your players. You must edit the
default start-command-line for a player and  the  stop-command-line.  Music  Act
executes  the  choosen  player  and add the song-file in the start-command-line,
and stops the song by execute your player with the edited stop-command-line.

I  wrote this tool to play my songs (I'm a musician and writing public music and
some times i make a live-act!) on stage. But  sometimes  it's  not  possible  to
convert  OctaMED  Sounstudio  100% in SMF (Standart Midi Files), so that i can't
use  only  one  player  with  it's  playlist-feature  (like  MidiPlay)  for   my
live-music-program.

I'want  to play differnt formats in a user-friendly style, with the feature that
i can start and stop songs simply by pressing RETURN or a gadget.

Maybe you need this special features and you can use this tool with your music.


Have fun, Alexander M. Korn
