Vermilion Desktop Composer is a revolutionary approach to a tried and tested format of computer music composing. The program attempts to pick up where Buzz left off, taking a fully open approach to composing, and requiring nothing but a PC with sound. It releases regularly and is desperate for feedback on any level.

    Installed it no trouble. Could not get anything vaguely resembling music out of it after 20 minutes reading instructions. Same with tech savy son. Uninstalled it!!

    VioLet Composer is now Vermilion Desktop Composer, with the same homepage and a completely rewritten application in Java.

    I think "VIOLENT" composer would be more appropriate with regards to stability.

    But hey, this is a beta site and this is beta software so keep up the tinkering...

    Im the guy who occasionally thinks that it would be really great if I could just create some music.. ive ended up purchasing a keyboard *wich i can hardly play*.. playing around a little bit in Fruity Loops etc.

    Just for the hell of it I decided to try this app :P

    I clicked the pattern editor.. and clicked the play button.. everything just crashed im on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, AMD 6000+, 4 Gb RAM.. got to use the reset button, im just glad i didnt do anything importent that wasnt saved =)

    I could have done a screen shot of the error messsage.. but that would have had to be with an actual camera since nothing worked.. maybe next time.

    Since I must rate it ill give it a 3 for effort lol.. no time to test functionallity right now.

    LOL thanks Kail. I'm surprised this system keeps letting me do this. At least now I can say someone has legitimately reviewed the program in the last 12 months. Hooray!
