Echoview Pro
$14.99 - MiRaGe Audio Visual Media

EchoView Pro is designed to provide the functions that your music sequencer software left out. If you are a serious musician or composer, EchoView Pro gives you a powerful set of tools that can help you to fine-tune your art. Here is an overview of some of the features... A DELAY TIME CALCULATOR helps in finding a precise delay time to which to set digital delay effects for rythmic integration with music, or for finding the precise tempo to use to achieve an effect with a specific delay time. A DELAY TIME GRID gives a visual indication of where in the music, echoed notes would begin and end. A METRONOME works in conjunction with the main window to get an audible and visual indication of a tempo and time signature. The metronome is useful as a practising, composition or live performance aid. A TAP TEMPO UTILITY lets you find the tempo of an existing piece of music (even one you only have in your head). CHORD CUE is a big on-screen display of names for chords played on a MIDI keyboard. Great as a learning or composing aid. Also useful as a live group jamming tool. THE VIRTUAL GUITAR is primarily an instrument tuning aid but also useful for creating strummed effects with MIDI. THE SONG LENGTH CALCULATOR works in conjunction with the main window to calculate the length of a musical piece in bars or seconds, useful for finding the ideal tempo or number of bars to fit a specified time-slot. THE STOPWATCH helps to find out how long something (anything) takes. Useful when dealing with song lengths sample calculations and echoes. A SAMPLE CALCULATOR makes it easy to obtain accurate information about digital sampling situations and optimising sample loop lengths for sound quality and memory efficiency. Also useful for finding frequency/note values. This is a superb freeware package but some of the features are limited in the free version and can be activated permanantly by paying the inexpensive registration fee.
