I opened up 13 critical bugs over support, it took them over a month before they they acknowledge the issues, but aren't fixing them.

In its current state, Music Maker is not usable for Midi. The fact I'm willing to give up on about 2/3 of my instruments by switching to Samplitude, kind of shows how much more usable I find the program. Essentially, near as I can figure, MM is a stripped down version of Samplitude but they made some mistakes along the way, and broke quite a bit of functionality. One issue, is that it cannot use MM Instruments (they cannot be activated).

All around, there is much more functionality and increased reliability in Samplitude.Īll in all, I've completely abandoned MM for Samplitude, even though Samplitude feels like an older program and appears to not be in active development.

Adding new tracks, the MIDI device doesn't get confused as to which to use for Input like it does in MM.

MIDI recordings doesn't miss the initial beats like they do in MM.

The track postions don't bug out in Samplitude like they do in MM.

It doesn't have the MM bugs of not being usable on different monitor sizes.

Samplitude has a better Keyboard input system.

Samplitude has a much better MIDI Input editor, and has a lot more midi editing functionality.

To chang ea midi track, you can transpose by using the Track Editor -> Midi on the right

You can change the chord progression of both Soundpools and midi tracks fairly easily.

You can drag soundpools (looks like it recognizes the MM ones as well) into a track like you normally can.

Samplitude has a SoundPools tab on the bottom.I've purchased both MM Premium and Samplitude, and created 30 or so tracks in both. I especially like the fact that I can change the chord progression, albeit in a limited way, in Music Maker. If I move to Samplitude, does this software work in the same way with Soundpools? I have worked in Music Maker for some time and like the way it works with Soundpools (loops).
