Super Duper Music Looper

Mix up a musical storm using percussion, horns, stringed instruments, and even special sound effects. Super Duper Music Looper lets young composers mix tunes ranging in style from orchestral movements to hip-hop.

Designed for kids ages 6 to 10--but simple enough for even younger children to enjoy--Super Duper Music Looper allows users to "paint" their musical compositions, selecting audio tracks with one mouse click and then painting them onto a looping score. The interface design is uncluttered, with only a few buttons. Players newer to reading will find no barriers to using Super Duper Music Looper. Everything is done either visually or by sound--painting sounds, erasing them, and switching instrument tracks. You can even listen to the results as you work.

Combining instruments in this fashion creates tracks that are pleasant enough to listen to, and make especially good background music. What is missing is melody--or an elegant way to create it. Though children can record their own vocal or musical tracks using an external microphone, Super Duper Music Looper would have benefited from some form of keyboard interface that would let them record sequences of notes to top off their compositions. Without this, musically astute players may notice that their products are missing an important component.

Even so, Super Duper Music Looper's user-friendly interface and delightfully wide collection of sound samples will give players great scope for creating interesting musical tracks, in the process learning a great deal about how songs are composed. --Alyx Dellamonica

Super Duper Music Looper is a new program that lets kids create music on a PC. Using a paintbrush, an erase tool, and a mouse, it's a fun and easy way to make songs come alive. How does it work? Just grab a few instruments or musical building blocks called loops with your mouse, "paint" them on the screen, and before long you'll have a complete song. It's that easy. Best of all, you don't need to know anything about music. All you need is Super Duper Music Looper, a PC, and a little imagination. Write songs like real pop stars by choosing from hundreds of instruments and sounds. Then add cool audio effects such as beeps, lasers, and more. Record your own vocals, rap, or sing along with the music. When you're all done, create audio files to record to CD or e-mail your music to friends to share it with others.

Chicken Systems Translator Sample Format Conversion Software

Translator? is the ULTIMATE program for dealing with professional sampler formats. Translator? handles more professional formats that people are using for music than any other conversion program. It translates quickly and accurately and in an easy, natural manner. Software Samplers Translator? led the way 3 years ago in reading proprietary hardware sampler CD's and hard drives, and making those sounds available for the new breed of computer-driven samplers.

The first software sampler, Seer System's Reality , is still only supported by Translator and no one else. Even today, no program reads and translates more proprietary disk formats. Translator reads 11 of them!

Features like bidirectional and reverse looping, multi-stage envelope algorithms, and many more. Translator was the first to offer EXS-24 translations that truly stuffed more elaborate parameters into the global scheme of th...
