“Power Downloader” — Nov 14, 1998

On those rare evenings when Power Downloader has the Power Pad all to himself, he’ll pour himself a glass of fine port, sit down on the corner of his easy chair, and pluck away at his prized Silvertone six-string. … But now, thanks to FretPet, Power can do the next best thing: study everything about playing guitar, save the actual fingering techniques.

FretPet (which is both QuickTime and OMS compatible) can play back his tunes through his Mac’s audio output, or via MIDI. The program also offers a slew of different instrument voices, including drums, synths, strings, and more. Power could write a book (well, maybe a short book) on all of FretPet’s various tools, but he’ll spare you the gory details. Besides, the program offers extensive balloon help, as well as a helpful HTML manual.
