A bit like Band In a Box, but the main interface is a keyboard which you play, live. Many styles available. For each style You have 1 intro and then two types of style "basic" and "enhanced", as well as a fill-in for each type. Minor, Major etc. are controlled by pressing the numeric keys above. The problems: Need's graphical and user interface (intuitivity) polish, for better useability. Music tends to sound drabby, but that's using the general MIDI only. (That's a problem which can be fixed only by adding sound banks etc, which the program does support via the midi mapper). A useful feature would be to set a scale so only the correct chords and tones would play. Also needed is a way to "split" the keyboard. and a way to assign keys. But for what you pay you get a very nice and good program which does what it says it will.
