Smith/!Compose/!Readme
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

!Compose Version 2.1 by Mike Smith (c) AU April 1994 !Compose is an automatic composition program that relates musical sounds to visual patterns on the screen. The program is totally menu controlled, using the mouse to select options and change parameters. Although not multi- tasking, it is initiated by double-clicking on its file-icon and will return to the DeskTop by selecting "Quit" from the MAIN MENU. Menus are arranged hierarchically. Clicking the left button, <select>, on an option will, if appropriate, display a lower menu. Pressing the middle button, <menu>, returns to the next higher menu. Thus the MAIN MENU can always be accessed by repeated clicks on <menu>. Current options are highlighted if "on". Parameter values are shown and can be adjusted up or down by clicking <select> on "+" or "-". Pressing the right button, <adjust>, will pause or restart the visual display and music, but the various menus can be accessed, and options or parameters changed at any time. The menus are reasonably self-explanatory. A little experimentation will soon familiarise you with the different effects possible. !Compose is basically a program to explore and discover fascinating visual, rhythmic and musical patterns as you go. PATTERNS There are four visual modes accessed from the MAIN MENU: "Mandelbrot", the familiar fractal, using a full 256 colour tiling algorithm, giving progressively higher resolution. "Julia", which is related to the current Mandelbrot screen by moving the cursor with the mouse to the desired position and pressing <select>. "Brownian", which simulates molecular motion and displays it in various forms. "Bouncer", an animated vector line display with adjustable parameters. "Zoom" allows a small area of a Mandelbrot or Julia set to be enlarged. A square boundary can be moved with the mouse, reduced in size with <menu> and increased with <adjust>. Pressing <select> starts the new sequence. "Save" saves the current screen and parameters. "Load" loads a previously saved screen with its parameters, allowing the sequence to continue where it left off, or any other Mode 15 screen in the "Screens" directory, which can then be "played" with "autoplay" on the MUSIC menu. One screen is already saved on disc, as MBROT1, which gives the full set at maximum resolution as the starting point for Julia sets or Zoom. MUSIC "Sound" toggles the music on or off from the MAIN MENU. "Music" accesses the parameters and options in the MUSIC menu. The various Sub-menus are shown as required. "Keyboard" allows the seventeen tones in the current scale to be played, in accordance with the current parameters, using keys <A-L> and <W-O>. Holding down <Space> gives a random sequence of notes. Pressing <Return> leaves the keyboard mode. "Autoplay" stops the visual sequence and "plays" the current screen pixel by pixel. Any Mode 15 screen can be used, so a "composition" could be "painted" in another program. Results are not very predictable, however! In the "Scale" sub-menu it is possible to enter a user-defined sequence of notes. The sixteen intervals should be entered as numbers of semitones between notes up the scale. For example a major scale would be entered as: 2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2. In the "Instrument" sub-menu you can enter the voice number of a solo instrument or up to eight separate instruments in an "orchestra". The voice number refers to the 9 already installed in the computer, or to any extra ones installed as relocateable modules. 12 extra voices are on disc and are automatically installed on running the program.
