And Microsoft 3D Movie Maker! I spent so much time making "movies" with that thing!
Oh so did I. I was always stuck with the trial version, but it was loads of fun.

Microsoft Music Producer:
That's the one.
I searched the web archive and found the website I had in mind above. It has plenty of info on MMP, as well as downloads of extra music styles.

I downloaded it but had to do the patching on my 32 bit Windows 10 computer. Once I had patched, I was able to copy the program to my 64 bit machine and run it.
I've bought so many old MSDN CD sets off Ebay looking for this program. Thanks!
Thankyou! I have been thinging of that one for many years but didn't know the name to search for. Instructions and downloads on that page works just fine with windows 10 so far. I set it to compatible to Windows 7 but not sure that is even needed.
Do you mean SongSmith? That wasn't 1990s, more like 2009, but made quite a splash at the time with their famous video commercial.

This is what I initially thought of but that doesn't sound like what the OP is describing.
One favourite of mine is Microsoft Music Producer, I think it was called. You could select genres, styles, tempo and a band then it would 'compose' mid files. I used them to generate royalty-free music for silly animations.
Sadly even any mention of this is very hard to find online now. I recall there being an old website where one could download it along with extra music styles; that can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070222062521/http://www.musicm...
Edit: Changed the name to 'Microsoft Music Producer', as has been kindly identified below.
