Anvil Studio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anvil Studio is a free MIDI music composition program by Willow Software, a Seattle-based company. It is unusual for its interface, which allows users to enter notes by clicking on a piano keyboard or on guitar frets. There is also an option to enter notes in a piano roll. Optional accessories can be purchased that add features such as the ability to print composed music as sheet music or to record up to eight audio tracks that can accompany MIDI music. MIDI files saved with Anvil contain extra information such as instrument order, lyrics, and comments, which can be viewed by any other person using Anvil.
