macaw
NEW VERSION 3.01 AVAILABLE NOW!
The Macaw music software is a program that implements a clip based MIDI sequencer, which drives a variety of the most excellent built in plugin instruments and effects, as well as external MIDI devices and also loads VST plugin instruments and effects. It has a soundfont loader and wave editor.
Load soundfonts into the Macaw plugins such as Fiction, Sampler1, MusicBlaster and XFact2 and get the most out of your soundfonts. I recommend the free GeneralUserGS soundfont by S. Christian Collins to get the best standard MIDI instruments.
The program is at a very mature stage and works fine for composing music and live playback of samples and plugins. The plugins and sampler and MIDI tracks can be played using the PC keyboard, or a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI controller.
A list of features:
Multitrack MIDI Sequencer.
Clip based sequencer.
Sampler - load soundfonts, edit soundfonts.
