WHAT IS IT?       - teeny weeny itty bitty midi sequencer available for FREE !!!

   

   This is a little MIDI sequencer named Ditty.
   (Get it?  Midi?  Ditty?  Itty Bitty?  Ok, Nevermind!  Sheesh!)

   A sequencer is a program that:
    - loads midi files and -sequences- their notes with the live playing you do
    - records notes and control messages from midi keyboards and controllers
    - plays the whole mess out to a set of midi synthesizers
    - shows the whole mess in a cool note/drum/controller display on screen
    - saves the whole mess into a midi song file for later

   Ditty is built SMALL:
    - SMALL .exe size
    - runs FAST   (built in C++ on Win32 API)
    - SIMPLE user interface built with minimalism in mind.

   There are lots of MIDI sequencers out there.
    - I don't like certain things about them so I'm building my own.
    - Ditty is a "work in progress" and may not do EVERYTHING you want it to yet
    - Someday it might IF you send a nice descriptive email to
      ME.

REQUIREMENTS?     - Windows PC;  midi input and output devices

   midi input devices:
      a piano keyboard or electronic drumset with a midi hookup to your pc.

   midi output devices:
      Ditty integrates nicely with Creative Soundblaster Live and Audigy cards.
         (They're CHEAP, pretty good quality, zero latency "synth-on-a-card"s)
      Ditty can also use other hardware or softsynths.

   Now, you could TRY to make do with your pc qwerty keyboard for note input and
      the vanilla "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth" built into windows...
   But, come ON...  Get SERIOUS about your music...
