Music Composer, music recognition software. Composer recognizes polyphonic music from a microphone or other Wave input or file and converts it into Midi sequences. You can sing, whistle or play guitar, piano, flute and so on with your microphone, Composer will automatically recognize and score your music and create standard Midi sequences. No Midi keyboard or musical experience required.

AKoff Guitar Assistant designed to assist in visual tuning a guitar with microphone or an electrical guitar connected to PCs sound card. It analyzes in real time a stream of audio signals from WAVE input of your sound card and calculates the main frequency. This frequency is shown by a pointer on graphic guitar signature stamp (frets), comparing it to the proper frequency. Tuning a string now simply means centering the pointer on the appropriate graphic fret.

Basics of Quantum Mechanics
Notes on quantum mechanics and atomic interactions. On the scale of things we are very familiar with we see nature in a way that works for this scale. As we look at smaller and smaller objects and interactions between them and the different forms of energy we somehow intuitively expect nature to behave the same as it does for our larger scale familiar world. The fact is: it doesn't. Reality is not quite what we expect when we look closer and closer. It is however, the basis for everything in our familiar world and it is comprehensible. So the study of quantum physics is well worth the effort to change our limited world view and try to understand nature as it is. Our new found understanding will serve to inform our old view of nature and make it richer than we had noticed before.
