Sundog Song Studio

Is WIndows XP completely not usable, . .. or just not totally supported or reliable ?

Windows XP is not supported anymore - but probably it will work. Just give the demo a try and test it with your system.

I just picked this up, and I'm very excited about it. If I dig it, I'll write a user review.

A decently-written review. One of the features I am still hoping to see in a future release is a more sophisticated pattern browser that organizes the step patterns into more discrete groupings; tagging would be nice, too. Another nice feature to see in a future release would be a facility to convert back and forth between step patterns and pattern-trigger patterns (why? because only step patterns allow customizable velocities).

Thanks, Bro (or Sis),
I demoed this for a few weeks and worked hard on providing some useful comments. I see your points and suggest you submit these requests to the developer. He's been very responsive when I contacted him with my feature requests. Mostly, I would like to have a simple on-board piano sound (or a selection of instruments) to make opening and syncing to a DAW optional. This would make it faster and easier to get an idea down.

I previously communicated my feature requests to Hauke, so he is aware of them. If other folks were to express interest in the same features I have requested, he might be more apt to look into developing them. Regarding having on-board instrument sounds, Windows users have the option of using the CoolSoft Virtual MIDI Synth with Sundog. I am not sure if there is something analogous out there for Mac users.

Yes, I tend to concentrate on those features first that have been requested more often than other features. There are quite a few interesting things that I plan to incorporate in future updates :).

All the best, .

Hauke.

Sounds good. I look forward to every new release of Sundog. It never disappoints.

A feature I really like are the chord mods: very inspiring..

the strum and chord inversion additions in the v3.7 beta take Sundog to yet another level up.
this program just keeps giving.
best musical software investment i ever made.
