greetings, earthlings,

general Comments about Tunesmith: 

an excellent app. 

some algocomp prg's are very difficult to use if you want to make a more or less 'finished' piece with it. this one is not like that at all. 

you can use it 'live' => realtime (but prepared) performances stuff. 

or deterministic, if you're not an improvisor.

if you're not mister keyboard, this program can make you sound like him.

the program has built-in editing tools that let you try out a lot of ideas very fast (undoing is fast too, of course). save the good ones for use in final version, then use pattern editor to make the piece.

everything is on one screen, this is very userfriendly. no going to menus to transpose, reverse, etc... just one click on something you were already looking at!!
well... there is a menu for saving, loading and configuring, but you won't need to access it for making music.

AND the way it looks is ideal for making people believe that you're not REALLY human after all. (it looks like that, of course, because everything was put on one screen, which, again, IS very fast to work with.)

programs music output can sound a lot like tunesmith or a lot like you. you have a lot of control, if you want that. or you could not care and stuff would 'happen'. if you have never used the program, you'll have made something interesting within the hour after booting it (eh, how many programs allow that?). and it will have been fun.

program output can sound human OR computer: yes.

default settings are for rather fast rythmic stuff, but you could make ambient things too, why not.

the music can be recorded by the program. not difficult. then you can save it, for use in a sequencer.

docs are pretty complete. would really like more info about some stuff on the set options screen though ;o) 

in my EXCELLENT opinion, you will not regret it. even if the screenshots look like this is a program from hell.
