|
| |
COWON's Wavetable MIDI Synthesizer is now available in "software
only".
What this means is that JetMidi makes it possible for computers to
playback MIDI data with higher sound quality than ever before without
a dedicated hardware MIDI tone generator. JetMidi provides state-of-the-art
wavetable emulation, allowing concert-quality MIDI sound through as
small as a 16-bit soundcard. |

COWON JetMidi consists of a MIDI Synthesizer driver for Windows,
MIDI player, and MIDI Mixer. You can enjoy high-quality music immediately
after the installation, since 7 sample songs and a MIDI player are
included in this program. |
|
|
|
| |
|
JetMidi supports General MIDI, a 64-note polyphony,
playback in CD-quality 44.1 kHz stereo, reverb and chorus effects,
built-in MIDI player, built-in MIDI mixer, and key control. |
|
|
|
| |
|
The MIDI Player supports 3 display types, various play modes (Normal/Random/Program),
time modes, and repeat play. There is also a Track-intro Scan function,
which will play the first few measures of every song. |
|

|
| |
|
The MIDI Mixer gives you total control over the output of your music,
while providing a very intuitive interface. As an instrument plays,
an indicator light flashes, aiding in determining which effects on
which voices will produce the most pleasing music. A default value
for volume, balance, reverb, and echo make customization unnecessary
for users who simply want to hear their music, but for advanced users,
JetMidi provides the flexibility to tweak the most minute setting. |

|
Tracks can be heard individually by choosing the "Solo"
button next to the track number. Or use the "Mute" button
to subdue a specific instrument or track. A one-button "All Tracks
On" button is located at the bottom of the mixer panel to turn
off all solos and mutes. |
|
|
|
| |
|
You can change an instrument on a track by clicking on the eighth
note button corresponding to that track and selecting a new voice.
For example, you can produce the sound of blaring herald trumpets,
or the mellow sounds of a flute choir, using the same MIDI file. |

|
Neophytes will find that JetMidi is extremely simple and logical
to understand, while more advanced users will love JetMidi's flexibility,
power, and utility. |
