Free musical instruments software for mac

O-Generator is the simplest way to teach the fundamentals of music and composition.

Aimed at 10 to 16 year olds, O-Generator’s structured lessons provide objectives, activities, outcomes and assessment, and fulfill National Curriculum requirements.

The Virtual Music Teacher will guide students through each lesson using simple language in understandable steps with a recorded voice-over, making it ideal for nonspecialists.

For you...
• Structured lessons provided
• No music knowledge needed
• Minimal ICT skills required
• Minimal lesson preparation time
• Teach the whole class at the same time

For your students...
• Learn about rhythm by exploring different styles
• Explore melody, harmony and arrangement
• Use different instruments to understand chords and create melodies
• Learn and develop songwriting techniques
• Compose in modern and traditional styles

O-Generator engages children from the outset thanks to its clear design, which uses a circular representation of a bar of music, onto which students place their own beats, rhythms and melodies.

The use of contemporary musical instruments and styles excites students, and lets them compose the kind of music they most enjoy listening to.

And because the software is not limited to preset musical loops, the possibilities for students are endless!

sfArkXT 1.0.4 is a free, small Carbon application that decompresses sfArk files.

Under Mac OS X Jaguar you can now install Sound Fonts .sf2 files which can greatly enhance the sound of the built-in QuickTime Musical Instruments and any other MIDI applications like Intuem, SimpleSynth etc. These files go into (~)/Libary/Audio/Sounds/Banks

Any sound bank installed in those locations can be selected from System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Music to be used as the default synthesizer for QT Musical Instruments.

Mac OS X allows the installation of uncompressed Sound Fonts (.sf2) only so compressed files (.sfArk) need to be decompressed before installation.

Major Features:

1. VERY fast compression with good compression ratio in "fast" and "turbo" compression modes.
2. State-of-the-art compression ratio with high compression speed using "standard" mode.
3. Extra high compression (albeit slowly!) in "maximum" compression mode.
4. Able to create "self-extracting" files.
5. DLL available for development applications

Simon is a classic game invented in the 70s. It tests your memorization skills by flashing lights and emitting sounds.
First, you need to pick a level of difficulty. You can do this by selecting it from the menubar. Then, hit the "Lets Go!" button and memorize the played sequence.
After the sequence is done playing, click the boxes in the same order as was played to you. After successfully doing this, two notes will be played, and the sequence will be played back to you, this time with an added box.
After this, click the boxes in the same order.......and so forth, you get the idea. If you repeat the sequence incorrectly, a sound will make you feel so bad about yourself that youll be forced to play another game.
Enhancements:
- Localized for Japanese
- Shuffled the colors around again
- Simon now uses the QuickTime Musical Instruments Synthesizer to create / play sounds. It now sounds much, much better than it did before.
- Implemented volume level.
