Play music on a virtual oud using your computer keyboard or mouse
Use 1/4 tones and maqams on the oud (for middle-eastern and Arabic music)
Features:
- Various oud tunings for both 5-string and 6-string ouds
- User-selected oud orientation (right-handed, left-handed, player view, and mirror view)
- Allowing quarter tones
- 21 predefined maqams, with all their possible transpositions (different “tonic” notes)
- The oud visually reflects the selected maqam via indicating the “maqam” notes and their fingering positions
- Music playback and fingering animation for the standard MIDI files and the proprietary MZ* files. The latter file format provides for displaying sheet music.
- Possibility to transpose the playback by whole octaves
- MIDI channel filtering, with 2 independent aspects: sound and fingering animation
- On-the-fly tempo control during playback
- Full microtone capability when playing the oud using the mouse. Clicking an oud string at any point will produce the exact tone that would be produced on a real oud.
- Sample melodies from classical Arab-music in different maqams";
