There was a delay between playing on the Jamstik+ and hearing the sound from Music Maker. My MIDI controller is a Jamstik+ and this was the first time I was really able to try it out as a MIDI controller rather than a guitar education tool.
The least intuitive part of the software for me was learning how to pair a MIDI controller to the software. You can see your different windows and know what they are even if it seems daunting at first. The user interface is reasonably intuitive. With those alone there is so much you can do, so many sounds you can make just with the soundboard and available presets. I have the free version which comes with just a grand piano, a drum kit, and a soundboard.
Music Maker gives you a few instruments to play with to start out with and you can buy all the others at $29.99 each, and there are a lot of them. This was the daunting feature for me the ability to play with instruments I never would have otherwise. What makes music creation software different is that you have a multitude of instruments to play with and multiple ways to play with the sound. I play more with my ear than with musical academics. Playing around with Music Maker is no different from when I play around with real instruments it's a lot of trial and error because I don't know the first thing about writing music. To be fair, I don't really have much experience with music creation software, so this was also a learning opportunity for me as a musician. Music Maker is a music creation program that has many instruments to choose from.
I recently had the opportunity to play around with and review Music Maker by Magix.
