Info:
====

  RMCA is a program which presents itself to the demand of every "live musician" who only
  reluctantly registers chord sequences into LeadSheets by means of mouse and keyboard,
  but on the other side doesn't want to go without the large number of existing MIDI
  material (songs, styles, arrangements and so on).


  With any material and only a very few "manipulations" RMCA creates complete styles
  consisting   of Intro, Basic, Extension, 2 Fill-Ins and 2 Bridges. RMCA has got special
  program routines for   conversion, particularly a chord-identifying-system which
  constitutes the base of correct tonal realtime processing with a total of 17
  types of chords.


  RMCA makes your midicontroller and/or your computer keyboard - free configurable -
  an arranger keyboard with chordsection, Ad Lib- and Minus-One-function, (2-finger-)
  accompaniment and broad sound controlling. Entries are quantized and the melody-Ad
  Lib-function makes it possible even for the inexperienced keyboarder "to be there"
  in any key. You don't need an expensive keyboard   or costly MIDI hardware, just a
  good soundcard. With only your mouse and/or computer keyboard you will already
  have amazing results. Besides that every user who owns an arranger keyboard    
  may benefit by RMCA in many ways. It is most useful to enlarge existing style
  collections, to    add chord informations to midifiles or to get confidence in
  chord successions for oneself. It is of special meaning that RMCA is able to
  save a complete style, a style part or looped and converted measures as a
  MIDI file. This material can comfortably be reprocessed with a sequencer
  or a corresponding keyboard.


  RMCA is developed for "live use" especially, but it is also a practising and
  improvisation aid for backing groups of guitar and bass players and soloists. 
  Songs or chord successions and melodies can be recorded, looped and reproduced
  in the most varying styles immediateley.


  RMCA offers MIDI import and MIDI export and is able to analyze stored or recorded
  MIDI material. Midifiles can be saved again with encoded chord successions and
  are the compatible with the Ad Lib function. This makes possible to improvise
  on "unknown" material in MIDI modus.


  RMCA therewith completes existing equipment and provides a basis for using sequencers
  and arrangers, produced and purchased styles even more effective. A main concern
  of this program is   to enable the user to adapt himself spontaneously to what he
  listens to and to instantaneously transform his musical feelings.
