By using a joystick it is possible to play music in various styles, accompanied by a splendid display of coloured bars that match the notes.

After loading, the computer will play a demonstration tune automatically unless bypassed by use of the function keys. It is then possible to choose from various menu options the style of music you wish to play.

Menu options include bass, beat, style, tempo and an ending. And within each category and five or six options, chosen using the joystick button. In normal format, a musical accompaniment is included but it is possible to play acapella, that is without accompaniment.

At this stage, by using the joystick, you can make music with a vivid colour display on the screen making full use of the C64's excellent sound and colour qualities. It is also possible to save and playback from tape or disc your musical masterpieces.

Definitely one for the budding musician, although it takes some practice to obtain a recognisable tune.
