Serenade
Serenade is a desktop MIDI sequencer for the entire range of Acorn RISC OS machines. A great deal of effort has gone into creating a user interface that gives access to the power of Serenade without making it complex to use. No knowledge of musical notation is required – just connect a MIDI keyboard to your computer via a MIDI card and play. Serenade captures the music ready for editing.
