: Hi everyone!

: I have to questions I want answers on, the first on: I want a musicprogram for c64.. If anyone can give me one(or more if you have) you'll make me real happy.. :)

: Second q, I want to know how to program the c64 the basic... I used to program on an old Atari 130XE a long time ago... but now I've forgot it.. :(
: Are there anyone who can help me.. ?
: thanks.. :)

I did my very first music writing with a simple C64 program called "Master Composer". The main problem with it was that it was a little too simple.
It was also a copy-protected program. I have it on a D64, but I'd have to "crack" it before it will work. I am sure it will be easy.

There is also a program called "Music Construction Set". It has a simple point-and-click interface. It doesn't give as much control over the instrument sounds, but it's nice because it uses actual musical notation.
I don't remember whether I have that on a D64 or not. I'd have to check.

It was, coincidentally, just a few weeks ago that I started looking at a little music editor by JCH. I'm still very confused by it, but I'm learning.

Programming in BASIC on the C64 can be easy, but explaining it fully will take more than just a post on a message board.
Here is an example of a simple BASIC program. You may need to print it out first, then you can just type it in, then type RUN and watch the magic. If there is a part of this that you do not understand, you may reply here or E-Mail me.

1 N=INT(10*RND(0))+1
2 PRINT "I HAVE A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 10."
3 INPUT "GUESS A NUMBER";A
4 IF A>N THEN PRINT "TOO HIGH. GUESS A LOWER NUMBER.":GOTO 2
5 IF A6 PRINT "CORRECT.";N;"WAS THE NUMBER."

(I wonder if the HTML tags work?)
