Looking for a MIDI composer Software

[Zaryulenko]

As the title says i'm looking for a good MIDI composer but i'm having trouble finding something good ATM, But i think i could get a little of help here .

The only problem is that there are many of them but, ¿Which one should i try?

Sometimes you can find magazine coverdisk copies of Cubase AV or Cubasis. The full Cubase VST is good, but pricey and probably has far too many features if all you want is a MIDI sequencer.

I was a massive fan of Fruityloops for a long time. Before that I used Cakewalk. In general, Cubase is highly recommended, two of the bands I was in used it, though I never went down that path myself.

If you are purchasing software, VST support is an essential feature. I can't think of a soft-synth offhand that doesn't use it.

The magazine Computer Music features a lot of free software on their coverdisks. You could have a look through their online archive: http://www.musicradar.com/computermusic/category/software/

Well it sounds good but i forgot to add more info, Im looking for a freeware for composing (I have heard MIDI compositions of megaman themes and thats my inspiration and the reason i was looking for this first), And even if i cant find a MIDI composer i was also looking for a software that had realistic Instruments, just like famitracker! (Im bored of using it because im really bad for 8-bit music)

Aaaaaand... Im a newbie at this but i wanna learn!

Just had a look at Famitracker, takes me back, i haven't used anything like that since OctaMED on the Amiga.

What I think you are looking for is some kind of sequencer. You should be able to find a free vst-compatible one quite easily. Once you have that there's a whole world of free vst plugin instruments and effects to explore. Finding the right package for free may be a minor issue though - you'll probably find that commercial packages have larger communities and are easier to find tutorials for.

Anyhow, good luck!
