ISSAQUAH, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1999--Midisoft Corporation (OTC BB:MIDI) music technology pioneer
and a recognized leader of innovative applications for the control and use of music and sound on personal computers and the
Internet, today announced that they have released Midisoft® Worship Studio(TM), the newest version of the Company's
flagship Midisoft Studio® product line.
This represents the first targeted market of specific communities of interest that Midisoft has identified as having defined
requirements for music. Worship Studio is initially being sold at nationwide retailers Mars Music Inc., and Sam Ash Music Inc.
The Company is applying its over thirteen years of expertise in helping musicians create music using a personal computer to
bring solutions to these common interest communities.
Along with the millions of aspiring and practicing musicians, there are many other users of music. These consumers have unique
requirements in addition to those enthusiasts who enjoy playing, learning and experiencing music. Designed specifically for the
church music market, Midisoft's revolutionary interface and powerful technology distinguish Worship Studio as the leading
software product to serve this community's specific needs. The product allows for unlimited MIDI tracks, eight digital audio
tracks, digital audio editing and publisher-quality printed output with percussion notation and guitar chord symbols and Midisoft
added 1,000 traditional hymns and new features to create Midisoft Worship Studio.
Dan Santos, Director of Sales and Marketing of Midisoft stated, ''The release of Worship Studio represents Midisoft's new
strategic focus to identify markets with specific requirements, needing special products. For example, every week 168,000
churches buy or produce sheet music for their choirs, worship teams and bands. This market alone uses more than 3,000,000
pieces of printed music every Sunday. As a result of focus group research, Midisoft custom tailored a program to fulfill this
demand.''
Santos continued, ''In the future, we plan to release other products tailored to the specific requirements of additional
communities of interest that would also benefit from a more tailored Midisoft Studio.''
Terry Tarsiuk, Worship Leader at Christian Faith Center in Seattle, Wash. said, ''Worship Studio is so easy to use that I can
now delegate more work to volunteers and assistants, thereby allowing me more time to manage and expand the creativity of
our music ministry.''

providing our community in manufacturing Worship Studio. This software is just what we were looking for and will save us
