JFugue

Jammidi uses JFugue music strings. More info can be found here.

Sound

The sound quality depends on the soundbank of your MIDI player. An excellent soundbank is PersonalCopy (Lite).

Jammidi features
  • With the 'repeats' option in the composition details, you can indicate how many times a music string is repeated.
  • With a 'p' for pattern you can refer to previously entered music strings.
  • In the composition overview, you can select a song fragment.
  • If a music string does not completely fit within the fragment, it will be shortened.
  • 'p' patterns will be fully written out, in order to be fit into the fragment.
Drums

Instead of using numbers, you can use some other textual representation for drum sounds. For Jammidi, I've taken the liberty of using the following symbol table:
