Was it the Island Logic music system? I remember this had some pretty hefty
tape protection including an apparently faulty loader (the tape message
still read "Searching" even though it was actually loading). It was good,
though, as most tape software was that you couldn't get onto disc. I haven't
seen it anywhere on the web archives though unless someone knows different.

If you want a music sequencer/composition program then see mine on the 8BS
website (TBI-147).

Morning all,

Many, many years ago, when the universe was young, men were real men, small
furry things from alpha century ... etc ... and I was about 7, a friend lent
me a music composition program for the Beeb. All I can remember about it was
that it had some very impressive (for a 7-year-old, anyway) demo files which
came with it. One was called RONDO (which was the Turkish March by Mozart),
and was in about 5 separate files. There was an actual composition bit, then
a kind-of playlist bit, etc. I only had it for a week, as my friend wanted
it back and I didn't know how to beat copy protection at the time. Does
anyone reckon they know what this software was called? And is it available
on any of the usual archives?

Cheers,

Kris.
