NEVER BEEN EASIER.

Suddenly, you're o rock star. Screech

ing, pulsating, throbbing with sound. You're

playing music on your computer. There's an

invisible band in your bedroom. Your parents

don't understand you anymore—and you

like it!

Experiment with different arrangements or

choose from 40 built-in songs—jazz, reg

gae, even classical.

TOJAM SESSIONS.

Open your concert with a bass guitar

solo. Then rip into a real-time rock out and

jam with the interactive band inside your

computer. Play up to three instruments at

one time. And for really awesome effects,

play out through a MIDI keyboard. The sound

will blow your socks off!

What happened? Yesterday you didn't

know a treble clef from a tuba. Today you're

creating mistake-free music on multiple in

struments. You've discovered the revolution

ary program with musical intelligence.

You've discovered Instant Music.™

COMPOSITIONS.

With Instant Music you can actually see

the music you're playing with color bars that

appear on your screen. Featuring over a

dozen instruments to choose from, you se

lect the ones you want Jo use. Just move

yourjoystick or mouse to draw in lines of

music. It's that simple.

You can compose, too. Instant Music

lets you copy and paste, even erase your

musical ideas. So improvise and synthesize.
