Tone Pad 1.1 Last Update: 08/21/98

Tone Pad 1.1 is a simple tone generator, reminiscent of old Radio Shack 1 octave electronic keyboards. If you're a musician, you may find Tone Pad  a great way to work out that melody while commuting on a train. There are many uses for tone generators, and we suspect this small app will have a wider audience than just music lovers. The Tone Pad 1.0 display is a floating window, featuring a Frequency Display Box which   displays the current frequency that is to be generated by clicking on the right 'Play Tone' button. Manual selection of a frequency is accomplished by simply writing the desired frequency in the display box. Currently, the tone generator will drop the decimal portion of the frequency entered, but the author may include decimal support in future versions.  TonePad v1.1 now supports duration selection, and a 3 octave range for the piano keys!  If you're downloading the .pkg (MAC), we recommend also getting the readme file. Freeware. Credit: Len Kawamoto. 

Morse Pad 1.2 Last Update: 08/21/98

Morse Pad is a simple "Text to Morse Code" program. It allows for manually input text to be sent in Morse Code at various speeds and frequencies. If you're downloading the Mac (pkg) version, we recommend you also download the ReadMe file.  Freeware. The latest version now includes Morse to Text! Credit: Len Kawamoto.
