Music Mouse

About

Originally coded for the Mac in 1985 by Laurie Spiegel. It was ported to the ST platform in 1988 by David Silver working with Laurie Spiegel."

This program actually turns the ST into a musical instrument in it's own right with complete control in the hands of the performer. Basically it takes mouse movements inside a grid on the screen (above) and transforms them into 4 moving voices that can be assigned different midi channels & sounds depending on what you do on the QWERTY keyboard. Other QWERTY keys are live in realtime as controller faders and for playing with tempo, transposition, and a host of other features. In three words... IT"S PLAIN FUN! Musicians as well as non-musicians can benefit from this simple-to-use yet deep program. Laurie is continuing to upgrade it for the Mac Platform, but the Atari version is still pretty much identical to the current Mac rev.
