Music generator application

phaenilda · 07-08-2006, 08:43 AM

Hey, guys.
I've been browsing google for a few hours now, and I'm wondering if someone already has found what I'm looking for.
I need a program, freeware would be nice, but not necessary. I need to generate music, in wave or mp3 format (MIDIs suck). I've already got the music composed, but I need to be able to put the notes and chords into the application, and have it output the right sound. I need it to have basic instrument sounds, at least piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums, and violins would be handy.
Even if I can't find something that meets all these specs, just a piano generator would be handy.

I just need some background music for a video I'm editing, without a professional recording studio, or an orchestra on hand.

Thanks,
Matt

The heavyweight professional software...
Sibelius 4
Capella
Finale
Mozart

Or something simpler (my favorite) that should be good enough for your project...
Fruity Loops
