                             SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
                                       OF
                                 MAKEMUSIC! INC.

      VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA TIME ON FEBRUARY 27, 2008

Issuance Date: February 28, 2003                       Warrant No. _____________

         THIS CERTIFIES that, subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, _____________ or his/her/its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase
from MAKEMUSIC! INC., a Minnesota corporation (the "COMPANY"), at any time after
the Issuance Date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance date,
________ shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the "WARRANT SHARES") at the
Warrant Exercise Price (as defined below). The $.01 par value common stock of
the Company is herein referred to as the "COMMON STOCK". The "WARRANT EXERCISE
PRICE" is $0.50 per share.

         This Warrant and the rights granted hereby are subject to the following
terms and conditions:

1.       Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The
provisions in this Warrant relating to the Warrant Exercise Price and the number
of Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided in this Section.

         (a)      Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the holder
of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common
Stock obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

                                        1

<PAGE>

         (b)      In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its
outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares or declare a dividend
payable in Common Stock, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately
increased, and conversely, in case the Company's outstanding Common Stock shall
be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased
and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be proportionately reduced.

         (c)      If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to
another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets ("SUBSTITUTED
PROPERTY") with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then, as a
condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale, the holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and
upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant, and in lieu of the
Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such Substituted Property as
would have been issued or delivered to the holder if it had exercised this
Warrant and had received upon exercise of this Warrant the Common Stock prior to
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale. The
Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior
to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the
Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation
purchasing such assets shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder such
Substituted Property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder
may be entitled to purchase.

         (d)      If the Company takes any other action, or if any other event
occurs which does not come within the scope of the provisions of Sections 2(b)
or 2(c), but which should, in the Company's reasonable judgment, result in an
adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and/or the number of shares subject to
the Warrant in order to fairly protect the purchase rights of the holder, an
appropriate adjustment in such purchase rights shall be made by the Company.

         (e)      Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price or the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give
written notice thereof, by express delivery or first-class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the holder at the address of the holder as shown on the
books of the Company, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the
number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculation is based.

2.       No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection
with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share which would
otherwise be issuable, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole number of
shares.

3.       No Shareholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle its holder to
vote, receive dividends or exercise any of the rights of a shareholder of the
Company prior to exercise of this Warrant.

                                        2

<PAGE>

4.       Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants that during the period
this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant will, upon payment and issuance, be duly authorized
and issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

5.       Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by the registered
holder, in whole or in part, by providing the Company with at least 10 business
days' written notice of such holder's intent to exercise and by surrendering
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the Exercise
Form attached hereto duly executed, accompanied by payment in full of the amount
of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price in cash or check payable to the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in no event shall a
partial exercise be for Warrant Shares with an aggregate exercise price of less
than $1,000. Upon partial exercise hereof, a new warrant or warrants containing
the same date and provisions as this Warrant shall be issued by the Company to
the registered holder for the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant shall not have been exercised. A Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date the
Company is in receipt of this Warrant, a completed Exercise Form, all documents
the Company may reasonably request from the holder for the purpose of complying
with applicable securities and other laws, and payment for the number of Warrant
Shares being acquired upon exercise of this Warrant. The holder entitled to
receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all
purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of
business on such date. After such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to
the holder or holders entitled to receive the same, a certificate or
certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise.

         The holder has been advised that the Warrant Shares and the Warrant are
not being registered under the Act, or state securities laws pursuant to
exemptions from the Act and such laws, and that the Company's ability and
obligation to issue Warrant Shares are dependent upon the availability of
exemptions from registration under the Act and state securities law. In the
event that the Company does not meet the requirements for an exemption to
registration under the Act and state securities laws for issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall issue the Warrant Shares
at the first opportunity an exemption is available, but shall not be under any
obligation to register the Warrant Shares under the Act at any time.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have
the right to delay any exercise for the purpose of ensuring the availability of
an exemption under applicable securities laws for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to the holder in light of the transactions by the Company in its
securities. If the Company elects to delay any such exercise, the Company shall
inform the holder, in writing, of such delay and the terms of such delay. Any
such delay shall not lead to any change in the Warrant Exercise Price or the
terms of the Warrant and shall not extend the term of any Warrant unless such
delay would extend past the expiration date of such Warrant. In such case, the
expiration date shall be extended to thirty (30) days after the end of such
delay.

6.       Acceleration of Warrant Termination. For purposes of this section,
"Change of Control" shall mean the sale or lease of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets or a merger or other transaction in which the holders of
the Company's voting capital stock before such

                                        3

<PAGE>

transaction hold less than fifty percent of the outstanding voting capital stock
of the successor entity after the transaction. Immediately prior to the Company
completing a Change of Control, the Company shall automatically have the right
to call and terminate the Warrant, without paying any additional consideration.
The Company shall deliver prior written notice to the holder ("Call Notice") of
a Change of Control and the effectiveness of the call right. The holder shall
have forty-five (45) days from the date of the Call Notice ("Call Period")
during which the holder may exercise the Warrant. If the Warrant is not
exercised during the Call Period, the holder shall deliver the Warrant to the
Company for cancellation. Cancellation of the Warrant shall be effective on the
Company's books and records notwithstanding the holder's failure to deliver the
Warrant to the Company for cancellation.

7.       Compliance with Securities Laws and Other Transfer Restrictions.

         (a)      The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees,
represents and warrants that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares which may be
issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment, that the holder
has no present intention to resell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, and that the holder will not offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares
except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or
applicable state securities laws. The Company may condition any transfer, sale,
pledge, assignment or other disposition on the receipt from the party to whom
this Warrant is to be so transferred or to whom Warrant Shares are to be issued
or so transferred, of any representations and agreements requested by the
Company in order to permit such issuance or transfer to be made pursuant to
exemptions from registration under federal and applicable state securities laws.
Upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall, if requested by the
Company, confirm in writing holder's investment purpose and acceptance of the
restrictions on transfer of the Warrant Shares, as well as any representations
and agreements requested by the Company in order to permit the issuance of
Warrant Shares to be made pursuant to exemptions from registration under federal
and applicable state securities laws.

         (b)      In the event the holder of this Warrant desires to transfer
this Warrant, the holder shall provide the Company with a Form of Assignment, in
the form attached hereto describing the manner of such transfer, and an opinion
of counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Company) that the proposed transfer may
be effected without registration or qualification under applicable securities
laws, whereupon such holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant in
accordance with the notice delivered by such holder to the Company. If, in the
opinion of the counsel referred to in this Section, the proposed transfer or
disposition described in the written notice given may not be effected without
registration or qualification of this Warrant, the Company shall give written
notice thereof to the holder hereof, and such holder will limit its activities
in respect to such proposed transfer or disposition as, in the opinion of such
counsel, are permitted by law. The Company may place one or more restrictive
legends on the Warrant or any certificates representing the Warrant Shares which
set forth the restrictions contained herein, and may further place a "stop
transfer" restriction in the Company's books and records with respect to the
Warrant and any Warrant Shares. The restrictions set forth in this Warrant shall
be binding upon any holder, donee, assignee or transferee of the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares.

         (c)      The holder will not, for a period of 180 days after the
issuance date of this Warrant, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or agree
to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Warrants or Warrant Shares
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or agree to sell,

                                        4

<PAGE>

transfer or otherwise dispose of any options, rights or warrants to purchase any
of the Warrants or Warrant Shares beneficially held by the holder. The foregoing
restrictions do not prohibit gifts to donees or transfers by will or the laws of
descent to heirs or beneficiaries provided that such donees, heirs and
beneficiaries shall be bound by these restrictions.

8.       Registration Rights.

         (a)      If at any time after the issuance date of this Warrant and
prior to the end of the one-year period following complete exercise of this
Warrant, the Company proposes to register under the 1933 Act (except by a Form
S-4 or Form S-8 Registration Statement or any successor forms thereto) or
qualify for a public distribution under Section 3(b) of the 1933 Act, any of its
securities, it will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant, any
Warrants issued in exchange hereof and any Warrant Shares of its intention to do
so and, on the written request of any such holder given within twenty (20) days
after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the interest in
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares intended to be sold or disposed of by such
holder and describe the nature of any proposed sale or other disposition
thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to cause all such Warrant
Shares, the holder of which shall have requested the registration or
qualification thereof, to be included in such registration statement proposed to
be filed by the Company; provided, however, that if a greater number of Warrant
Shares is offered for participation in the proposed offering than in the
reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter of the proposed offering can be
accommodated without adversely affecting the proposed offering, then the amount
of Warrant Shares proposed to be offered by such holder for registration, as
well as the number of securities of any other selling shareholders participating
in the registration, shall be proportionately reduced to a number deemed
satisfactory by the managing underwriter, which number of shares to be sold by
selling shareholders may be zero.

         (b)      With respect to each inclusion of securities in a registration
statement pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall bear the following fees,
costs, and expenses: all registration, filing and NASD fees, printing expenses,
fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters of such securities
(if the Company is required to bear such fees and disbursements), all internal
expenses, the premiums and other costs of policies of insurance against
liability arising out of the public offering, and legal fees and disbursements
and other expenses of complying with state securities laws of any jurisdictions
in which the securities to be offered are to be registered or qualified. Fees
and disbursements of special counsel and accountants for the selling holders,
underwriting discounts and commissions, and transfer taxes for selling holders
and any other expenses relating to the sale of securities by the selling holders
not expressly included above shall be borne by the selling holders;

         (c)      The Company hereby indemnifies the holder of this Warrant and
of any Warrant Shares, and the officers and directors, if any, who control such
holder, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against all losses,
claims, damages, and liabilities caused by (1) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus (and as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished
any amendments thereof or supplements thereto), any preliminary prospectus or
any state securities law filings related to the registration of the Warrant
Shares pursuant to this Section 8; (2) any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading except insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission contained in
information

                                        5

<PAGE>

furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein.
Holder by its acceptance hereof severally agrees that it will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its officers who signs any such registration
statement related to the registration of the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 8, and each person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, with respect to losses, claims, damages or
liabilities which are caused by any untrue statement or omission contained in
information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use
therein.

9.       Subdivision of Warrant. At the request of the holder of this Warrant in
connection with a transfer or exercise of a portion of the Warrant, upon
surrender of such Warrant for such purpose to the Company, the Company will
issue and exchange therefor warrants of like tenor and date representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
be designated by such holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however,
that the Company's obligations to subdivide securities under this Section shall
be subject to and conditioned upon the compliance of any such subdivision with
applicable securities laws.

10.      Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of the initial
Warrant, in lieu of this Warrant.

11.      Miscellaneous. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the state
of Minnesota without reference to such state's choice of laws provisions. The
headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience and reference only, and
shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof. Neither this Warrant nor any
term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by
an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the registered holder hereof.
All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing. A written notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been
sufficiently given: (i) if delivered by hand, when such notice is received from
the notifying party; (ii) if transmitted by facsimile or timely delivered to a
reputable express courier, on the next business day following the day so
transmitted or delivered; or (iii) if delivered by mail, on the seventh day
