FlexiMusic Composer.
1. Create a new file using
File > New. Type a name for your new
song and Click Ok.

"Add Track" button to add a new track to your melody. Since there are three types of tracks there are three add

making few steps ON and other steps OFF randomly Click on one step of pattern to
make that step ON or OFF. Green step is ON and Black step is OFF.
6. Choose a key in the Piano
roll to change the Pitch of a step.

is a basic unit of a FlexiMusic Composer song, here you can set as many loops to
build a sound.

track using "ADD" button and repeat the above steps for the new pattern. There
are two Add buttons,

to create more tracks, as many as desired, to build up a full-sounding song.
15. Output track is
the mix of all the tracks of your song's loop. Use this Play button, to Play the
final mixed output track.
16. Saving: You can
save all of your compositions as FlexiMusic Composer files (files with the *.FmCmp
extension). Save the composer file using menu File > Save.
As with all software, it is advisable to frequently save your work. With
FlexiMusic Composer, it is also advisable to periodically use the SAVE AS option
in the FILE menu to save your composition under a different name.
Exporting: Exporting is
not the same as saving. Exporting means taking your song's audio output and
saving it as a file that can be read by other software programs or burned onto a
CD.
Save the output wave file
using menu File > Save As Wave. In Total mode, the Save As Wave
function in the file menu will generate a single file that contains the audio of
the currently-selected mix.
