Improvise 1.2 - Compose MIDI sequences

Improvise 1.2 is a program that composes algorithmic MIDI music in real time, on up to sixteen channels at once. You can control parameters governing pitch, rhythm, tempo, texture, etc. as the music plays, immediately hearing the effect of all changes -- or simply let the program produce endlessly new music, without requiring any real time interaction on your part. You can save groups of settings and parameters, optionally including a map of MIDI programs and/or a 'mix' of MIDI volume information, allowing you to preserve your algorithmic compositions either for later reproduction, or as the basis for future musical explorations. You can also save MIDI program maps and 'mixes' independently of settings and parameters. Algorithmic MIDI output can also be saved directly to a Standard MIDI file, permitting later playback and editing of 'live' real-time algorithmic performances. Improvise 1.2 can be used in many ways -- for example, to produce background music on the desktop, to compose, to 'play' a virtual algorithmic instrument, and to produce MIDI output for the use of other programs. Experiment and enjoy -- soon you will be on your way to producing a wonderful variety of original music!
