Sweet Little Piano

Sweet Little Piano allows the computer keyboard to act as a piano keyboard.
Pressing a computer key will generate a MIDI note and send it to the device
selected. Different aspects of the MIDI message generated, may be changed
with different menu commands, keyboard commands and the control bars.

All settings are saved when you exit so you will be ready to play immediately
when starting the program the next time.

Note: Not all features described, is available in the unregistred version
of Sweet Little Piano.  


To be able to send the MIDI data generated by Sweet Little Piano to
another Windows application, a MIDI driver, such as "Hubi's LoopBack Device"
must be installed via the control panel. The driver offers virtual MIDI
Ports (up to 4), which act as Input and Output. All MIDI data sent to the
output (from a MIDI program) is delivered to all programs at the input side
(eg. another MIDI program).


Installing Hubi's LoopBack Device

(This info is an excerpt from midlpbk.txt, courtesy of Hubert Winkler).


Windows 3.1:
Start Windows, select "Control Panel" from the "Main" group, select Drivers,
select Add button, select "unlisted driver", OK, enter your directory (eg. C:\TMP).
Now you should see "Hubis Loopback V2.4", and press OK.


Windows 95:
Start->Settings->ControlPanel->Hardware Continue-> [No] ->Continue -> 
[ Audio/Video/Game Controller ] ->Continue->Disc-> [ enter the unzipped
directory (eg. C:\TMP)] ...


Now the configuration dialog comes up and you must select the number of
ports to use. 2 should be a good starting point, but WARNING: Windows(3.1)
cannot handle more than 10 midiports (+Midimapper). 


After Restart, the new MIDI In and Outputs will be available then. If you have no CTL3DV2.DLL in your \windows or \windows\system directory (nearly impossible) then you must install one manually.


Read midlpbk.txt in the "loopback" directory for additional info about installing
"Hubi's LoopBack Device".

What does the press say?

Atari ST User - Dec 93
"Sweet Sixteen is well specified for the prize and well worth your
consideration if you're looking at the budget end of the sequencer market."


Sound On Sound - Feb 94
"Could something this good be this cheap?"
"The only way you'll get a much cheaper sequencer is on the Public Domain,
but as Sweet Sixteen is a surprisingly competent sequencer at a very
atractive prize, why bother?"

"Stability-wise, Sweet Sixteen seems to be rock solid. In spite of trying,
I found it impossible to crash.


The MIX - May 95
"Sweet Sixteen is an absolute breeze, once you get the idea of how it works
(which doesn't take long).
"... make Sweet Sixteen the easiest way of getting into sequencing."
