M 2.5

M is an interactive composing and performing system that takes notes and chords that
you specify and manipulates them, under your control, to create musical compositions
which unfold during live performance.

M contains many unique and useful features, including:
-A variety of sophisticated recording and note editing techniques.
-Controls for the selective re-ordering and randomization of musical material.
-A capability for automating changes in MIDI velocities, note densities, rhythms, 
  legato-staccato articulations, and accents.
-"Snapshots" that store and recall any configuration of screen controls, and Slideshows,
  which are sequences of Snapshots.
-A means for synchronizing M with an external device, such as a drum machine.
-A performance system which allows you to "conduct" by dragging the mouse within the
  Conducting Grid, or to control the program from a MIDI keyboard, or to perform by
  selecting screen controls with the mouse.

System Requirements:
-Mac OS System 7 or later.
-For use with MIDI on a PowerPC computer, OMS or the Apple MIDI Manager (no longer 
    distributed) is required.
-For sound output directly from the computer, Quicktime 2.5 or later and Quicktime 
    Musical Instruments are required.
-1 MB of disk space.
-1 MB of memory.

The demo version is save disabled.  The full version of M costs $74.
