If you want to go to the next level, download Reaper from reaper.fm and then buy Zebra 2 Legacy Collection VST (Virtual instrument ) suite from Uhe for 99 Euro (and install Dark Zebra/Zebra HZ). It's suspected that the mix-up occurred due to a confusion between John Williams, the composer, and William Ross who was assisting John Williams with the project. TIL that a scene in 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones' and 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' share the same score. There are some resources on the reaper accessibility wiki which show how a blind person can use it. Not a game, but I believe the digital audio editor Reaper (brought to you by the same team that built WinAmp back in the 1990s) fits your description. Is there any highly optimized games out there nowadays? Roller Coaster Tycoon was programmed in Assembly so it could run smoothly on a toaster.

Personally I prefer Reaper - you can continue to use the free version forever (it just shames you on every startup) and buy the one-time license when you finally feel committed.

Nevertheless, it is great cost/benefit DAW. Do your midi stuff elsewhere and run from the nightmare I got myself into. Keep simple with audio recording and editing. my advice to you is not to fall for what I did, which is believing Ardour can do everything it says it does, cause it doesn't. Next time it's a negative! With so many different selections of tools, smart, playhead, etc, it appears the DAW confuses itself and do not respond appropriately. Sometimes I managed to select a note through the track and delete it. You cannot do it, unless if you go deleting every single other note, one by one! Terrible isn't it? No, you cannot copy a single note through the entire track. Another example: You want to keep only a certain midi note on your midi track, the C3 that is you Drum Kick. Oh, so I will consolidate all regions before unlinking! Nope, there is not such thing here. Some regions may be a single note, for example, and you can miss that. So you have to go manually 'unlinking' every single region. Oh, just use copy instead of share, like they say right? Nope. The 'share regions' will get you good as you edit one region and it 'magically' ruins the original one. The DAW doesn't behave as you would expect. For those like me who use both audio and MIDI editing, it may easily drive you into a real nightmare. Yes, you can start a project from scratch and end up with a great sounding track using Ardour.
