Interface

Let's first take a look at the FL Studio interface. Users familiar with FL Studio will instantly recognize the dark green tone and rounded windows of past versions. However, the structure of the program can be difficult for a first-time user to grasp.

The browser window on the left is your resource for any file you will need, from presets to projects and scores. Clicking on an item will open up a drop down selection of specific elements.

This library can be filled with more of your own loops and samples and carries an impressive amount of plug-ins like DirectWave, EQUO or Fruity Squeeze. FLStudio has a smart search function to quickly find any track, tool or effect.

Usability

To edit your tracks with FL Studio you can use the original pattern window, which contains all the instruments you have selected. You will have to create the pattern desired for each instrument.

You can also use the playlist window, divided into patterns at the top and audio tracks at the bottom. The playlist view features a handy paintbrush tool to color in your pattern. You can also decide to edit your tracks with the piano roll view, quite handy if you have a midi keyboard plugged in.

Anyone interested in connecting real instruments will appreciate that FL Studio also handles multiple midi-ins and features foot pedal sustain support. The FL Studio mixer features a good number of presets and you can fine tune your track with a high degree of precision.

Quality

FL Studio can be tricky at first; however those familiar with sequencers should have no trouble with it. All instruments and samplers are stereo, so to have multiple outputs you will have to create the desired number of instances.

Conclusion

FL Studio is a very good sequencer for anyone looking to create beats. The handy browser view and multiple editing windows like playlist, piano roll or pattern let you work how you feel best. A finely-tuned mixer and a large library of plug-ins also make this a very exciting audio editing application.

To be honest, we were a little skeptical when we saw Baby Computer Piano, but with at bit of testing, we actually began to see that it might be pretty useful. Baby Computer Piano is easily enabled and disabled with Ctrl then Delete. When enabled, you'll be able to surf as normal with the mouse, while the keyboard is transformed into a relatively realistic sounding piano.

This means that as you surf, your child will be able to sit on your lap, keeping him or herself busy by playing the piano - but hitting random keys won't suddenly log you out of your browser, or send your page to print!

Baby Computer Piano isn't the most advanced program, but it does work well. It's easy to use, has a hotkey for every function and even has a selection of tunes that can be played automatically, either for your baby to listen to, or try to imitate.

The only problem is that Baby Computer Piano is automatically translated into your system language, and you can't turn it back. If you use more than just English, this could present a problem, especially since the translations aren't that hot.

A sweet program written with babies in mind, give Baby Computer Piano a go next time you're online with your child.

When you open MidiPiano, you'll see a 'virtual keyboard' with a Piano Roll window that will show you what you record, and let you edit it too. This isn't a complete recording app or anything like it, but for beginners looking for a cheap way to play with a piano keyboard, MidiPiano it's pretty good.

The main problem with MidiPiano is that editing the keyboard layout isn't easy, and the midi editor isn't as user friendly as it could be. The midi sequencer, Piano Roll, should be much easier to edit - deleting wrong notes is simple, but adding new ones is less so!

If you want to turn your keyboard into a simple, synthesized Piano, MidiPiano does the job. With some practice it's not too hard to play, and is a good basic introduction to the world of music making apps.

Synthesia is the new title of a game previously known as Piano Hero… until Activision told its developer it was not a good idea.

Naming anecdotes aside, the game is described as a fun method to learn to play the piano but honestly, I have to disagree on that. Synthesia is by no means an easy method to learn the piano: I have some very basic piano notions myself and I found it extremely difficult. It could be because I was using a standard computer keyboard to test the game, and not a real music keyboard as recommended by the developer.

On the upside, I especially liked the default song selection the program includes to get you started (they're all popular theme songs from very well-known videogames). Also, note that you can use just about any MID file with Synthesia, which turns it into pretty much a never-ending musical entertainment.

With Synthesia you can practice your piano skills on the computer, but forget about learning how to play it: you'll need some prior basic knowledge.

An essential difference between Fast MIDI to WAV/MP3 Converter and other similar programs is that our fast MID Converter provides direct MIDI conversion (rendering) without sound recording.

The main advantages of direct MIDI conversion are the CD audio quality, the conversion speed and the silence during conversion. You don't need to listen to the MIDI music and adjust recording level while converting.

Musicians can use own SF2 Soundfonts for fast rendering and change the instruments quality. A built-in audio player (with trackbar) helps you pre-listen to MIDI, MID, RMI or Karaoke files before fast converting.

And the built-in easy-to-use OGG/WMA/MP3 Tag Editor helps you name your MP3, WMA or OGG tracks. The batch mode helps you fast and simultaneously convert multiple MIDI tracks to MP3.

The fast batch MIDI to WAVE conversion is very useful for creating musical collections on an audio CD. The resulting WAV or MP3 files can then be burned to an audio CD using any CD burning or recording program.

Or you can download it to your Apple iPod or other portable MP3 player. Using the Tempo change feature, you can create an album of your favorite MIDI or Karaoke MIDI compositions performed in any tempo.

Quality options are adjustable. You can fast convert your favorite mobile phone MIDI ringtones to MP3 with adjustable reverberation.
