Midi Maestro MM4 Review

MIDI Maestro MM4 has great features for professionals, and is easy enough to use for amateurs to get great value as well. The price is a little daunting, but a 15 day trial should give people the time they need to reason whether the product is for them or not. Dynamic and intuitive controls make this product a great deal.

*Very clean and easy to use design, color coding to create a great feel
*Frequent free updates

MIDI Maestro is a great product, that does what it presents, and does it very effectively. People have complained of problems with uninstalling the software, but I did not encounter such troubles.

For the beginner, there are many user friendly touches, such as when you hover over a button, the buttons uses are highlighted at the bottom. This allows users who are not used to music creating programs to easily understand everything, and saves a lot of time.

When you are creating a beat, there is a ball that will bounce in tandem with the beat. As you increase speed, so will the ball's bouncing, this allows visual and auditory reception of the beat and allows for creating phenomenal beats.

All in all, a great product and one that I would recommend whole heartily.
