Virtual Composer is a graphical multichannel musical compiler, sequencer and analyzer for the Macintosh, designed for perfect execution of complex polyphonic music using QuickTime's Musical Instruments Architecture.

It is mainly intended for serious performers who want to simulate human-like performances or who wish to manipulate musical scores in ways similarto those when performing live. Playing is effected via QuickTime's internal Musical Instruments synthesizers so you don't need MIDI cables or external devices and all upsampling and downsampling is done automatically via QuickTime.

It can be used by composers as a score testing tool, or by music beginners as a way to learn the variouselements of music. Some examples of what the Virtual Composer Editor and compiler can do are included in the folder "Examples".

This is the first Carbon version of Virtual Composer.

Requirements:
QuickTime version 2.1 or later (QuickTime 4.1.2/6.x/7.x recommended).
The extension Color Picker. (included with system software).
