Saying that reminds me of that Mario paint music tool for windows…. I haven’t used it but I wonder if you could export the midi and then dress it up inside a different program. I may have to try that out.

I would say digital music is quite delicate.

First I began playing around with FL Studio which is at http://flstudio.image-line.com/ . I think there’s a free version but can’t remember. I used it to load midis which I found at http://www.vgmusic.com . It was extremely useful to really study the structure of music.

Eventually ended up buying the program and a electronic keyboard. To this day I still can’t really play the piano or read music so the keyboard didn’t help much but it still helps me with little things like looking for a sound.

I don’t remember any other applications although I’ve tried dozens of them. Fruity loops was kind of a pain to learn and there are still dozens of switches I don’t know about. If I find something like fruity loops but less bloated, I’ll make sure to post.

All I know is there are sound libraries that can be plugged into sequencers (or was it trackers), hmm ^_^
