AMac, the Accompaniment Machine

The Accompaniment Machine 3.0 (AMac) is a program that expands digital keyboards capabilities and is able to create accompaniments for solo or group performances. The key is the program’s ability to use the thousands of Yamaha-format keyboard styles available on the Internet — virtual backup bands for your performances.

 

FEATURES

  • The software can use the wide array of available Yamaha-format styles on any keyboard or synthesizer, the program package includes a library of thousands of styles.
  • Employ the full set of available style sections (Main A, …, Main D, …, Fill in DD) on any keyboard device.
  • Create accompaniments and play them during performances with the AMac MIDI player.
    Advanced features include saved playlists, display of lyrics, sequence options and an equalizer to level the volumes of a MIDI file set.
  • With the standardized controls of AMac, instantly play your songs on different keyboards or with different computers.
  • Listen to styles and organize your collection in the Style organizer window.
    See how the styles will sound with different tempos and chord shifts.
  • Toggle between a main and alternate voice set during a performance to add interest to songs.
  • Create song files that contain full information to restore your setups.
  • Set operation sequences (like style-section shifts) before a performance.
    During the performance, step through the operations by pressing a control key on the keyboard.
  • Apply advanced sequence options such as fades, stop-on-first-beat, alternate voices, volume changes and tempo shifts.
  • Organize voices, styles, songs and sets in the familiar environment of your computer’s file system.
    Resources can easily be transferred to a different computer or emailed to a colleague.

    Save your custom settings in permanent voice files for use in songs.
  • Perform in a familiar environment.
    AMac supports all fingering systems for style harmony, including an advanced three-finger system to play ten chord types commonly encountered in popular songs.
  • The Accompaniment Machine works on all Windows computers (XP-SP3 / Vista / 7 / 8).
