The Apple IIGS version was done by the original programmer, Will Harvey, in 1986. This port takes advantage of the built-in [[Ensoniq]] [[wavetable synthesis|wavetable]] [[sample-based synthesis|sample-based synthesizer]], offering over thirty instruments to choose from (sixteen are digitized and thus realistic sounding), but only two instruments can be selected per song. It supports up to 15 simultaneous voices, stereo audio and MIDI-output. A port of Deluxe Music Construction was also written, scheduled to be in stores by late 1987, but never released.
The version of ''Music Construction Set'' for the Atari ST is not a port and shares no source code with the original versions. It was written by Richard J. Plom for Intersect Software Corporation under the name ''The Orchestrator''. It was acquired from Intersect Software by Electronic Arts and rebranded ''Music Construction Set'' in 1987.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102715665|title=Music construction set - 102715665 - Computer History Museum|date=1987 |publisher=}}</ref> The Atari ST version is the first version to have supported the new MIDI standard, with this computer's built-in MIDI hardware.
The program was completely redesigned for the [[Amiga]] and [[Macintosh]] and renamed ''[[Deluxe Music Construction Set]]''. This version has more features, including lyrics and support for IFF SMUS files.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bl3nder.com/music/|title=Bl3nder.com|publisher=}}</ref>
