TOYS
The MEDALComposer enables creative composition and music creation.
With MEDAL's music manipulation capabilities, it’s possible to offer
children instant music morphing and manipulation limited only by
their creative imagination.

into new satisfying melodies.
Tied to very specific cues, time,
date, temperature, noise level, touch--almost any input imaginable, the
MEDALComposer helps your child to understand the magic of composing by
taking interactivity to a wondrous new level.

• Educational toys, electronics books
• Electronic games
• Dolls (musical, talking, singing)
• Greeting musical cards
• Musical watches & clocks
• Musical Boxes
• Musical Snow Globes
• Interactive musical Pets

VIDEO GAMES
Video games should be about enticing story lines, killer graphics, and sizzling audio tracks. But how many times have you muted the audio because it became too repetitive, too monotonous?What if the music was different every time the game was played? What if each gamer had a completely different audio experience based on their own listening preferences? Pretty exciting "what ifs."
The MEDALComposer is a musical interface that offers additional audio capabilities than were previously thought possible. The MEDALComposer's instant music composition engine can react instantaneously to many gamer inputs. It can change music type, style, tempo, key, instrument or any attribute of the audio track in real time, reacting to the fine interactive elements of the most challenging gaming environment. With the MEDALComposer, the audio track can automatically morph as the game progresses, without the repetitious sound of repeating or looped music! Like we said, exciting.
Revolutionize your total gaming environment. Enjoy your favorite game the way it was intended--each time you turn it on. Play it again for the first time.
