Shareware US$12.95 #### BINHEX monster-ears-11.hqx **** From: Peter Kartu Subject: MonsterEars 1.1.0 The MonsterEars 1.1.0 software will teach you to recognize the harmony AROUND YOU from the relationship to the NOTE YOU ARE PLAYING at the time. Free your self from playing set chord changes and really follow the harmonic variations no matter where they lead ! This skill will TAKE YOUR PLAYING TO A NEW LEVEL. There are many ear training methods out there. Most of them are built on the classical model of recognizing "functional harmony" and intervals. This is of little use to jazz musicians because the chords of jazz are far more complex than mere triads and the process of recognizing intervals is to slow to be a practical method ON THE BAND STAND. Monster ears is much more effective and FAST. On the band stand YOU ALREADY KNOW what note you are playing. Monster Ears will teach you to instantly recognize that your note is major third, sharpened 5th or whatever RELATIVE to what is going on around you. With this PERCEPTION you can then instantly to RECTIFY MISTAKES, play inside the chord, INTENTIONALLY PLAY OUTSIDE the chord or whatever you wish. Just think of it you will be able to EFFECTIVELY IMPROVISE on tunes you have NEVER EVEN PRACTICED! How it works. Simply taping on a mac key generates a "virtual band" jamming away on a set tonality!. You play any note of your choosing which the program tracks, and then learn its relationship to the tonality via the on screen answers. When you have success with one tonality simply hit a key or a sustain pedal and move to a new tonality. Eventually you will develop to the point of handling a new tonality on EVERY BEAT at a fast tempo! This demo is fully functional for 60 seconds. Purchasers of the program receive an unlimited version that will run on their particular machine. System Requirements: OS 7.6.1 or better 66 MHz CPU or better 5-16MB of free ram OMS AND EXTERNAL synth required (sorry QuickTime musical instruments were just not fast enough) Price $US49.95 Company URL: http://www.education4music.com #### BINHEX morse-mania-231-osx.hqx **** From: Chris Smolinski Subject: Morse Mania OSX 2.3.1 Morse Mania is a morse code tutor for the Macintosh. It helps you learn morse code by first introducing you to the morse alphabet, so you can learn what each character sounds like. Then you can practice by listening to random characters being sent, and test your ability. This version adds the ability to play a text file, making it easy to create your own practice sessions. In addition to drills to help learn the various characters, Morse Mania also allows complete text files to be sent, so that "real life" messages can be used for practice. In addition sample QSOs can be automatically generated and sent, so users can practice copying real style communications between ham operators. Morse Mania supports the Farnsworth mode, which increases the speed of the dots and dashes, and lengthens the pause between letters sent, allowing the student to learn morse code at higher speeds more easily. Finally, it allows the use of the Koch method of learning the code, considered by many to be the easiest way to learn high speed morse code.

It shows a note on a music stave and asks the user to click on the corresponding key on the three octave piano keyboard within a certain time. The user can change the amount of time allowed for each note, and also decide whether to be tested on whole notes, sharps/flats, or both. MusicMentor remembers and tests more frequently on the notes which each user gets wrong. MusicMentor remembers test results and missed notes for any number of different players, so that in a class or home situation where there are several MusicMentor users and only one computer, each user can still have his or her own results stored. Changes in this version: * Made the correct note on the piano keyboard highlight if the wrong one is pressed during a test. * Made the note show on the stave, the key on the piano keyboard highlight and the note play when a note in the 'missed notes' list is clicked on. * Made the note show on the stave when a key on the piano keyboard is pressed, as well as playing the sound. * Fixed a bug which showed an incorrect amount of time remaining before the shareware fee had to be paid when MusicMentor was first used. MusicMentor 1.1 requires a 640x400 or larger screen, and HyperCard or HyperCard Player 2.1 or later.

It displays the lifetimes and travels of historic figures, and the dates and locations of historic events. It is a tool for keeping track of when and where things happened, and their relationships to each other. It is meant to provide a way to keep track of the multitude of different peoples, dynasties, empires and developments throughout history. The names of hundreds of historic figures are familiar to most people, but it's a challenge to remember when and where they all lived. Many of them are frequently referred to or alluded to in literature or in the media; many of them made the world what it is today. But it can be difficult to remember even what century some of them lived in. I wrote this programme as an aid to sorting them all out in one's mind. It can show in an instant the time and region in which they lived. It also answers questions like, "Who else was living at that time, and what else was happening in the world?" Twistory is a historical dictionary that you can use to create maps and time-lines. A resource of over 3200 people, events and places is included. The database has an open text format, so that more historical information can be added by any user. A complete description of the file format is included. The two main windows are the time-line window, which shows lives and events against a variable time scale, and the map window, which shows people and events in their geographic locations during an interval of time. There is also a genealogy window which shows the ancestors and descendants of a selected person, and an info window that shows additional details about a person or event. Another window lists all milestones occurring on a particular day of the year. There is also a search function. Version 2.2 has several subtle enhancements over the previous version, and a few bug fixes. The database has also grown again. Twistory will run on any Mac with system 7 or later. It needs at least 3 Mb of free RAM. With a large monitor or with several windows open, about 5 Mb is better. Twistory is now freeware. You may use and pass on Twistory free of charge. It may be reproduced and distributed on CD-ROM or other media, or placed on any web site.
