Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

I found this program quite fun and different. What I did was to take some pictures with a high contrast between the subject and background, close my eyes, and listen to the resulting "music." I found that in my mind's eye I could actually "see" the picture. I have yet to combine any of the midis with GarageBand or anything else.

I wonder if a program as this could also be used to catch a glimpse of what people with synaesthesia experience. Just wiki synaesthesia for more info.

All-in-all a wonderful experience! I'd like to chain some scenes together, do a little melodic tweaking with GB or other, maybe add some ambient soundscapes and "see" if I can create my own relaxation tracks. So far most of the "music" I've made would be great for subtle and faint background ambient sounds found in many commercial relaxation CDs. Think windchimes and such.

A word to the wise: turn your volume down a bit when you first try the program.
