What is PocketPipes?
Current Momentum
v13.0
PocketPipes can now play up to 4 voices at the same time. The need is to have one abc (or bww) file for each voice. All the files in the set must have exactly the same duration when playing. You just have to follow the naming rule hereafter: any_title.1st.abc (or .bww) any_title.2nd.abc (or bww) any-title.3rd.abc (or bww) any_title.4th.abc (or bww) Only when selecting the .1st, you are proposed to play 2,3 or 4 voices depending on the size of the set. PocketPipes checks the durations. You cannot play polyphony when a begin mark is set on the first voice. If you install the demo pack (when your data base is empty), you will find inside 5 polyphonic sets as examples. If you prefer to keep your current data base you can download the polyphonic musics from the support web site and add them. to your existing files.
