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.
For those that don't know, depending on how you count missions and spacecraft, humans have launched 38 missions to Mars, including nearly 20 landers. Phoenix represents only the 6th time we have succeeded, and the first time in over 30 years we have successfully soft landed. Not only did Phoenix fly right down the middle of almost every parameter, it achieved many firsts. It's payload fraction of nearly 1/6th it's landed mass and around 1/12th of it's launch mass is a first for Mars. The solar arrays have a w/kg 3 times greater than previous mars landers. It's the first successful landing at the Martian North Pole. And if the pictures the SSI and RAC have returned of the area under the lander turn out to be what they look like, Phoenix will have discovered water ice, literally at the surface, of another planet. And speaking of firsts, how about that incredible shot the MRO/HIRISE team took of our lander on the parachute.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was not just a successful launch, cruise, EDL and initial deployment of the Phoenix lander; it has been ridiculously successful! Ludicrous. I keep asking Josh if one of the labs is feeding us simulated data but as he keeps pointing out, the tests never went this well. There can be only one reason;
The unwavering dedication and sacrifice of each and every one of you to settle for nothing less than perfection.
While it may be the 6th successful lander, Phoenix has achieved many firsts. I want so badly to go through everyone by name (and you thought this was already long), but let me just thank, and congratulate, every single one of you for the role you played in getting this lander successfully to Mars. You all know who you are and what your contribution is. You've earned the right to take some very justifiable pride in that contribution. In many ways, it has been tougher than others, certainly longer, but maybe that just makes it all the more satisfying. Like Barry said, there were may who thought we couldn't do it. Some of the quotes I have heard over the last twelve years included: "...that flexible array will never work…(1998)" "...that prop system will shake itself apart…(2004)" and "…will never fly that lander..(2001)." Yet, you have proved them all wrong. Amazing. Utterly, totally, amazing.
Peter, Barry, Robert, do you remember those long hours in the proposal war room? Did you ever dare to imagine it would go this well?
We're not done yet, and if the first 5 sols have been any indication, Phoenix will continue to amaze us. And if it does, it will continue to be the result of the talent and dedication of this absolutely world class team.
Please forward this to everyone I have left off.
To continued success……

To give you a sense of scale of what you're seeing, the solar panels are about 5.5 meters (about 18 feet) across, and about 22 pixels in this image. The parachute and lander are about 300 meters, roughly 1,000 feet, apart. All seen and imaged by MRO from orbit. Amazing.
