I really don't know much about this stuff. *When my wife got a new cell
phone she wanted to keep the simple, single-noted, ring tone of "Take Me Out

new phone.

I found a program that would take an original recording .wav file and split
the music up into individual voices and write the score for each, etc. *I
thought the ability to write the score was so cool!

This looks pretty much the same thing with the added capability of moving
those notes - which as an extension seems pretty simple. *Simple because the
other would play back the selected voice from the score. *Using this I was
able to get a single-noted version of the tune using a voice that was more
or less "pure".

It appears that phase is unimportant. *Ever tune a guitar with a pitch fork
and listen for the beats? *The beats (although not their phase) exist
independent of when you hit the pitch fork or when you pluck the string and
what you hear is independent of those times. *That seems a pretty good
demonstration.

So, yeah, I believe it. *I liked the tool to translate keys, etc. *Otherwise
I'd be pretty lost if I had to do it all manually. *I'll bet Jerry could
make interesting comments here!
