Polyphonic Capabilities Many theory and ear training activities have been included
in Practica Musica that take advantage of the program's unique
polyphonic capabilities. Practica Musica can now perform rhythm
tapping or sight reading exercises in two parts and can tutor
students through more advanced ear training exercises such as
four-part dictation or chord progression identification. In the
chord progression exercises, the voicing of each chord can be
displayed in full.
New Sounds Practica Musica for Macintosh can use Quicktime instruments
for output, as well a variety of sampled instruments with 16-bit
output resolution for clarity in inner voices. Practica Musica
for Windows uses either the sampled sounds, the computer's sound
card sythesizer or SoftSynth (if available).
Vocalis Voice Input Technology New Vocalis voice input technology allows Practica Musica
users to sing or play instruments into activities such as Pitch Reading,
Interval Playing, etc. Voice input is done using any standard microphone.
Notation Tools Practica Musica's notation tools allow students to write not only
melodies, but also chorales and other polyphonic compositions. Music
can be heard, saved and printed -- perfect for class assignments.
The music file format is the same for both the Macintosh and Windows
versions, so files created on one platform can be read and edited by
the other.
New Onscreen Digital Textbook (Printed book also included).
Exploring Theory Onscreen is a friendly
and engaging digital textbook that provides full coverage of music fundamentals
topics. Using Practica Musica in conjunction with Exploring Theory...
enables students to put concepts into practice with immediate feedback.
The new "Onscreen Activities" illustrate and reinforce nearly every
topic introduced in the software. What's most impressive about the digital textbook?
The music examples are "live!" Each music example in the digital book is now a
QuickTime movie - click and you'll see it come to life and play.
