Myriad Melody Assistant

I've been using Myriad Melody Assistant for 9 years. Now it is 64-bit on Windows 7. I don't want to discuss the many advanced features but underline the ease of use for beginners and non-professionals. At the beginning, I used it for creating simple choir voice partitions/mp3s with the Virtual singer voices. Thereafter, I started studying musical theory and composition. I use it for my exercises with the (piano staves). I have tried other software like Sybellius and find Melody Assistant the most user friendly and intuitive. I must admit, sometimes there has been some little bugs, but it has improved since. I know I could one day use it for composing larger orchestral pieces, but I am not there yet! So I can only recommend it to the beginners. For professionals, refer to other reviewers.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for three months. I am very satisfied. For a modest price, you have a publisher impressive scores (which may be up treat neumes [/ i], or microtonal adjustments, which offers very varied combinations. It Of the classical orchestra group rock bass / guitar / drums / vocals, to the Breton bagad or jazz quartet and I spend most. Of course you can compose your set you same , choosing the instrument, with the ability to change the instrument any time, for each door. for string instruments including the edition of tablature is possible. The software plays the entire course your paperwork with all the nuances and the humanizing elements that you will appliqus notes (support vlocit, error factor, swing ...) and allows you to print all with a choice of options more than enough.
You may wish to use the software as multitrack studio, and mix any digital track with the doors said by paperwork, which is handy for composing original songs and many documents.
Noon entry is possible and works very well, both in input simplifies (note notes) than real time. If you do not have noon device, you can enter notes with your computer keyboard.
A quality effect processor very honest allows you (unfortunately not in real time) to change the sound of your doors and your numriques tracks.
Optionally, you have a program that allows you to scan partitions and convert the scan file playable by melody assistant. This works if your partition is clean and not too old, otherwise it will take the result on the screen.
Magic: option also, "virtual singer." Write your words in the partition, and the program sings! I have not used this feature, so I can not tmoigner.
The sound quality of the basic sounds provided, however average. You have to buy the "Base gold" to have an instrument pannel impressive by the number and quality which has made t chantillonage note by note.
I was looking for an accessible program financially. I'm surprised the hardware provided for a very modest price. The "melody assistant" software, and the basis of its "gold" are the minimum for a quality job properly, and not everything Exceeds 40 euros. I see no other choice for me, if I were to do it again, after three months of use.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

OVERALL OPINION

I use this software for over a year.

I was looking for a soft or rcrire rapidly implement scores of Jazz and for the price it's pretty impressive what this software can do.

If you are looking for software not taking head to write or test arrangements, it is a good choice trs. Even if this is not software "pro", with a little patience can be obtained about the results stunning.

Small BMOL even when the management agreements, only visible in standard format guitar tablature (or while handling becomes more tedious input), and paramtrage the layout that t "brid s "from his great ERRF Harmony Assistant. But it's good for the price hard to beat.

No problem facilities. (This is normal, I'm on mac ...)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I installed it on an e-mac G4 1.5 Ghz.
No problem, I repeat ...

OVERALL OPINION

I used to transcribe my bass lines for 2 weeks. I wanted something simple, who can guide me (I'm not good player at all). Seriously I was expecting a soft not as complete as that. I wonder how we can find more complete at the same price. So I make my partoches low, he automatically tablature. Since I'm not good, I filled in the blanks, I quantify my line to make it sound more true. I put in the place where there are effects on the partition and repeated listening (6 different effects ...!!!), I put the same icon (editable!), From an image, my purpose. I export all with the sound I want, I select what I want to print, and voila. The score as a memo, and export to mp3 (or lots of other audio formats) so that musicians can work with them on it.
What you ask for?
For me, one without faults.
