Note: The Macintosh and Amiga versions work with either MIDI or the computer's built in audio. Atari ST version works with MIDI only. All Music Mouse controls are completely realtime interactive and random-access available from the computer's alphanumeric keyboard.
Also Note: There have been so many new Macs, I strongly suggest downloading the demo to ascertain compatibility with your configuration.
