Good to know.
Do I get the full version as a separate download?
No. Everyone downloads the same app. Paste your license key into it and full songs and all styles unlock right away.
Windows says "Windows protected your PC." Is that normal?
Yes. Windows shows that for new apps from small makers until they build up a download history. Click More info, then Run anyway.
Does it make audio or MIDI?
MIDI. You get separate drum, bass, chord and melody parts that you can edit note by note and play with any instrument you like. The in-app preview uses simple stand-in sounds so you can judge the idea.
Can I use what it makes in songs I release and sell?
Yes. You own everything you make with Hook Forge. No royalties, no credit needed.
Is there a Mac version?
Not yet. It's planned. The MIDI files already work in Logic Pro and GarageBand.
I lost my license key.
