Hi, I''m a beginner in composing, and I was wondering what freeware program to make MIDI music you could recommend. It just has to do basic stuff, so nothing fancy is necessary. Thanks!

I think the Direct Music Producer - which can be downloaded free from Microsoft as an additional tool to the DirectX SDK - can handle Midi files.

It might be free, but I wouldn''t say it was for a beginner :D

Definitely not for beginners.


My Music((a small portion anyways))

*very* basic?? is bram bos' "tuareg" still around? anything beyond that, i'd highly suggest spending a few hours to get your head around the concepts of midi and vst plugins, and use "inwire" or another vst host (try search at kvr-vst.com)

..or if you do only want midi, emagic's "fun" v. of logic (afaik only on the german lang site)

go get Noteworthy composer


The free version won''t let you save up to 10 times -_-

hey
I''ve found a little program called anvil studio, that is freeware and lets you compose midi quite comfortably - not as good as logic audio, of course, but it works.
I''ve put it on my homepage - you can download it there if you want:

there are some more free programs on the web, but I haven''t tried them...

Klangfarbe

Thanks everyone, I''ll look into it

If you can afford to spend some money, get CakeWalk.

It is probably best for beginers, but it''s powerful too.

Look up Anvil Studio, it''s a shareware MIDI composing program.
