  • JMusic does not seem to be supported any more. I am working through the examples in the book "Making Music with Java" and I ran into quite a few problems. I got most of the examples working but the Midi files that I created were corrupted in a lot of cases. Seems that the duration of the notes get all messed up when writing to midi files. This is a pity because as an ex C++ programmer Java would have been a preferred choice for experiments in algorithmic composition, but its absolutely useless if I can't import the output of the program into a notation program or sequencer. What a pity...
  • A real time saver when you need to work with Java and music.
  • As this project so far got only good reviews, I feel that I need to contribute, as I have wasted some time with it. It is somewhat surprising that there's even a book available regarding this software. After downloading and installing the jar, it is very easy to get started. You however immediately notice the System.out.println-output that clutter your output window. This is the first warning sign that I should have taken more seriously. I ran into some other issues but thought I could work around them or fix them. But then I started to use the Instrument class. This class inherits Thread which leads to problems that makes it not possible to use in a reasonable way. Most likely the software will run into various deadlock issues regarding the threads. I will not investigate this software further.
  • Easy to use and works. Thanks
  • Really nice.. Try:www.wassupmusic.com for uploads music created.
