Berna 1.0 for Mac OS X

Berna - a program that emulates popular musical instruments of the 1950s, a simple, fully functional program, works well on Mac OS X .

Between the 1950s and the mid-1960s, before Robert Moog and Wendy Carlos successfully connected electronic devices to the pop orchestra of the time (with a few exceptions like Barrons and Raymond Scott). , the concept of " electrochemical music " was invented by music laboratories in Europe and professors from the US university. The process of composing the music was manipulated on tapes, besides the harmonizing, creating effects . back then, it was done with a fairly crude and manual technique. Of course at that time, there was no concept of electronic instruments on the market yet .

Completely contrary to what happens to this day, electronic music appears everywhere, from simple music to large concerts with large scale, very simple, easy. Can imagine like this, if working for a few minutes at the present time, can be compared with the equivalent of a period of 1 year in the past with the same results achieved. Almost everything, the stages are done manually, from the combination of tones, vibrations with complex effects as required . to the final stage is recorded on tape cassete.

Berna software was born, partly helping users can visualize the working environment of a " studio " in the past with tools combining electronics and music, oscillator tools, effects filters, modulators, audio tapes . all " classical instruments " are packed in an interesting software, with a simple interface, easy to use but offers accuracy. Very high body. Users can explore, create their own music, or a whole world of music . inspired by the past, the early days of " electronic music ".
