Music ISLAND vol.3: The Four Seasons (ヴィヴァルディ 四季) is a CD-ROM-based music entertainment title for the Pippin Atmark console. It features the musical suite The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, presented with animation.[1]
Features[]
Three different editions of Music ISLAND vol.3 were produced: The Original edition includes bilingual English and Japanese support. It also supports General MIDI playback, either with built-in MIDI software or an external sequencer like Cubase, allowing the user to isolate instruments. The Lite edition omits English support and MIDI capabilities. The "Oke Pit" Orchestra & Piano Trainer edition includes the orchestral score sheets and a picture book with musical arrangements for piano solos.[2][3][4]
Releases[]
Music ISLAND vol.3 was developed by Oracion (オラシオン) with Macromedia Director and was originally released around 1993 as a set of separate discs (not hybrid) for Windows and Macintosh in Japan.[5] Though it is compatible with older Macintosh computers with 68040 processors and older PCs running Windows 3.1, MIDI support requires a Power Macintosh with a PowerPC processor or a PC running Windows 95.[3]
A hybrid version for Pippin and Power Macintosh was released in Japan on July 5, 1996.[1][6]
