We had a previous version AthTek DigiBand on July 4, 2013. Here are the old reviews: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/athtek-digiband/

This is a nice and funny piece of software for the weekend. Really! It is basically the same software from 2 years ago.

Upon start a resizable interface opens. In the preferences you select your MIDI device, the colors, a "default singer" and that's it. Now you can auto-compose a tune, with different emotions from sad to cherish and different music styles from Pop over Rock to Children. No Beethoven or Mozart isn't programmed. The results are fun - of course it isn't a serious composer, but this is not the point. Install it and play around with this weekend program. Don't blame anybody if this doesn't produce your next No.1 hit...

I'll keep it at least for the weekend to play around.

Some words to yesterday's "Rule No.1" and safe browsing.

1) Don't make your default browser your default browser. Sounds silly? No, it prevents other tasks from calling your browser to lead you after an installation e.g. to a defined webpage.

Install a browser whatever you want. Make this your "default" browser, but block&deny all internet access and all other privileges. Every attack searches in the registry for the "installed" browser. You lead them to a not working and never used location. No problems with hijacking, redirection or...

2) The browser you are using should be a portable browser with one trick:
- create a ramdisk. Imdisk toolkit is the best one, I've found so far.
- create a folder, not on your system drive, name it RamDisk, copy in this folder the e.g. portable Firefox with your preferred add-ons
- create a ramdisk size of 1 GB (sufficient for browsing), load the X:\RamDisk folder at startup time into your RAM.
- create a shortcut on your desktop, use this to start your browser.

3) Every time you boot your computer, you'll have a fresh new untouched browser, no matter, what happened during the last session. The disadvantage is, that you loose all your new bookmarks, too. Use a bookmark manager or use another way to add your bookmarks to the X:\RamDisk folder.

4) To surf on the dark sides of the web, use the "Browser in the Box" Client - Personal Edition from Sirrix. Read about - the absolute safe way. A must!

Have fun and a nice weekend.

Or you could just install the free Comodo Internet Security, choose "create virtual desktop" and use the included browser which runs in a sanboxed VM and skip the rest. BTW the whole RAMdisk thing? Won't protect you from cryptowall or any of the new nasties that write to the bootsector and IMHO those are the ones you REALLY need to worry about.

Be careful!
The installer won't warn you, if you have a previous version installed on your system.
If you installed version 16 from the giveaway 2 years ago into the default path, it will silently overwrite your existing installation and (lifetime) registration.
