Description

A music sequencer for CP/M, published by Ardent Software in 1985.

Provenance

Deposited by Marcombe Computer Heritage Centre, which had held it unread for years. The disks had been stored beside a loudspeaker, and one track on each was weak. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.

Free, in the Lazarus reading room in Vancouver and in partner reading rooms. The license does not permit copies to be taken away.

In the reading room it runs in emulation under profile LZE-CPM-4, from a read-only copy of the recovered image, as it would have on CP/M.
