...It is Shakobox on Jacque's site developed by Rebecca Bettancourt
that
utilizes the QT library. If you've got a Mac, great. No sound
channels but
you kinda fake them. It requires an external player that has been
opensourced and so, if you know RB, you might be able to fiddle with
it
further. If you don't have a Mac, you're kinda out of luck AFAIK
because
while there is a Windows version, I've never actually come across
anyone who
was able to make it work under Windows....
If QT is present on Windows, you can call up the instruments (or
whatever MIDI voices are found on the PC -depends on the particular
flavor of Windows) by sending them MIDI instructions. In MIDI-Builder
this is done by playing a short MIDI file for each note. It doesn't
involve resampling sound resources, and, as a result, you don't end up
with distortion of timbre and length when the sound is transposed more
than a few pitches up or down. Instead of sound channels, you use MIDI
tracks.
BUT,
if what you're looking for is "that late 80s/early 90s click'n'pop
Macintosh sound-chip feel" (you know what I mean!), MIDI probably
won't cut it.
