I received a DAK catalog which had a piano tutor system. It comes
with a 49-key keyboard (which can be hooked up to a computer).
It has 39 built in lessons with 200+ variations so when you make a
mistake, it tells you what you did wrong. The only thing is it only
runs on a Nintendo. (You've probably seen this advertised on TV.)
My question... is there software like this for the Amiga?

I recall seeing an advertisment in "Electronic Musician" or "Keyboard"
that had a tutor for the amiga. It was the only one that I'd ever
seen. Unfortunately, I do not have nor can recall which issue I saw
the ad. There are several for the PC and Mac. Amazing Computing
publishes a directory of amiga products. You might want to look in the
directory for what you want

re .0 The closest one I can think of is "Take Note"; requires MIDI, as would almost anything that "hooks up to a computer" Reg PS Nintendo for music training ? Contradiction of terms. | |||||

An earlier note mentions that EM made reference to at least one Amiga package for music tutelage. If I remember correctly, that mention was made in the context of a review of computer-aided music tutorials in general. I can't recall if more than one Amiga package was covered, but if there's interest I'd be glad to look up the article in my back issues. Cheers, Bob | |||||

I asked for something like this a year or so ago. The Dac/Nintendo
package reads like exactly what I was looking for. Plus,,, they offer
it with a velocity sensitive keyboard. Does anybody know who makes the
keyboard. I've yet to find anything with velosity sensitive keys for
less than $700.00 +.
Consider me very interested.

| 4407.5 | Info on Amiga Music Tutors | TLE::TLET8::ASHFORTH | The Lord is my light | Thu Jan 10 1991 09:43 | 29 |
OK, I dug out the EM review on music education programs. I have the issue with me today, so if you have specific queries I can respond. The issue was September of 1990, so it's pretty current info. The only package that runs on the Amiga is "Take Note" by Thinkware. Retail is $79.95. Its "target" is ear training, rather than music theory- in other words, it focuses on recognition of intervals etcetera, not note-recognition or chord type. The publisher's vitals are: Thinkware 130 9th St. #303 San Francisco, CA 94103 (800)369-6191 or (415)225-2091 EM reviewed "Take Note" in an earlier issue, quite favorably. It does support both the Amiga's internal voices and MIDI. There are a number of programs for the C64, Apple II, Mac, Atari, and IBM. If you can emulate any one of these, your options increase. Also, I must say that although it's a *great* magazine IMHO, Electronic Musician doesn't focus primarily on software and may have missed a *lot* of packages in their reiew. The article doesn't mention how they obtained their list of candidates. Being such a "niche" program, I don't know how much luck you'll have looking for a discount-house price on the program if you're interested in it. Anyway, good luck. Cheers, Bob | |||||
