DMCS was more complex and capable than the first music application that EA made for the Commodore 64, Apple II, Atari 8-bit family, and Atari ST, Music Construction Set. For example, it allows users to enter lyrics in with the musical score, though the lyrics are strictly for the user's benefit.
DMCS was originally released for the Macintosh, though it was hampered by its copy protection, which used a low-level code encryption that skirted the Macintosh toolbox, resulting in it not working with System 6.
Unreleased portedit
In 1986, a port by Randel B. Reiss[2] for the Apple IIGS was written, which uses the built-in Ensoniqwavetablesample-based synthesizer. Screen shots appeared in various catalogues and was scheduled for a fall of 1987 release. The port was never publicly released, but its music engine was used for producing the soundtrack for the Apple IIGS game titles Zany Golf and The Immortal, both of which were written by Will Harvey.[3]
Receptionedit
After testing a beta of the Amiga version, Info stated that Deluxe Music "offers the most accurate standard music notation display and editing features I've ever seen ... it is a flexible, detailed composition program".[4]
