Sweet Sixteen
was developed by Rolf Nilsson of Roni Music.
He switched to PC and Mac around 1993 but updated
the Atari version until around 1997. He has
now released it as freeware.
Sweet
Sixteen is a comprehensive and powerful
MIDI sequencer for PC/Windows and Atari
ST/STE range of computers. It offers
piano roll, list and transform edit pages
as well as a dedicated mixer page you can
use for your favourite synthesizer. Capable
of playback on 24 + 24 tracks, Sweet Sixteen
is ideal for the absolute beginner but powerful
enough to satisfy experienced "power"
users.
One thing very
noticeable in Sweet Sixteen is the resemblance
to C-Lab's Notator SL. Rolf admits he was influenced
by Notator's design. The same arrange screen
as well the keyboard shortcuts are present in
both programs. If you cannot find Notator and
like how Notator handled songs and patterns,
then Sweet Sixteen is for you! There are also
some "modern" features such as a GM
style mixer, with excellent graphics to boot!
