General Information

Nota Musica Sequencer is a MIDI-Sequencer. It uses OS/2 Warp's Real-Time MIDI interface to record and play MIDI files. Nota Musica Sequencer supports playback of MIDI-files using a wavetable-soundcard or a MIDI-keyboard and recording from any MIDI-device. You can use multiple MIDI devices on a single computer. Please refer to Real-Time MIDI Information pages for information on soundcards supported by OS/2 Warp's Real-Time MIDI interface. Nota Musica Sequencer loads and saves MIDI-tunes of type 0, 1, and 2 and thereby allows you to play any MIDI-file with OS/2.

Nota Musica Sequencer supports the IBM VoiceType speech recognition software, which is shipped with OS/2 Warp 4. This enables you to control the sequencer without touching your mouse or keyboard. For example, you may record or playback MIDI tunes by giving voice commands while sitting at your MIDI-instrument.

You can also use a regular musical instrument (for example a flute or violin) to record MIDI files. Nota Musica Sequencer converts tunes you play on your instrument into MIDI files.

Once you have recorded your tunes, you can import them into the music notation program Nota Musica for editing and printing.

System Requirements

To use Nota Musica Sequencer you need an IBM compatible PC that runs OS/2 Warp 4 (or a later version of OS/2). You need 3MB of free hard drive space and one or more MPU 401 compatible soundcards with a MIDI keyboard or wavetable-soundcard. To use the speech recognition feature, you need to install IBM VoiceType, which is shipped with OS/2.
