DESCRIPTION
HighC... Draw your Music. Users draw sounds on a continuous time-frequency diagram that looks like a musical score. They use purely graphical operations (such as move-resize, copy-paste, group…) to produce rapidly complex audio effects or full compositions.

HighC draws on 20 years of a world class user interface design experience to provide immediate usability. Complete novices and children understand its base features in a matter of minutes. For instance, novices have used it to create original and unique ringtones and fun “audio pictures”.

HighC is foremost a tool of choice for musicians who look for new sound effects or for an alternative approach to music composition. Its integrated interface encompasses the role of synthesizer, sequencer and mixer. The simple and unified synthesis model underpinning HighC gives access to the most common sound synthesis techniques in a graphical, intuitive and uniform framework: Additive synthesis, Waveshape, various noise-based models, but also FM synthesis, Ring modulation and granular synthesis. Many more features.

THBB  HighC is not PPC only. This is a bug in MacUpdate automated analysis of the application bundle, and I can't fix it from my developer's page.

HighC is a Java application, and thus works natively (modulo the java runtime) on both Intel and PPC architectures.

For those interested in the details: In order to function properly on all platforms from 10.3.9 to 10.5 and above, I have to include a PPC-only java application stub. This stub is recognized by the OS on Intel platform, and not used. On older platforms, only this stub will work, not the newer fat binaries...
