Well that went philosophical, anyway u get the point. Whether its happy sad or anger, Pop, Rock or Death metal, House, Edm, trap, Bigroom house or Bathroom House, Whether use sample packs or not, some form of energy in you is making u choose the right sound. It Does not matter how u make ur Music its divine( by divine i dont mean it like with background angelic voice singing AAAAAAAAAh, God almighty. Of course some might say mind is a powerful tool.īut not every one is a trained musician, and even if u are one, these tools (or most) may be of better use to u than to the non musician, well that my opinion. This might be handy for those looking for creative tools. Which has the capablity of generating midi like Midi Madness or Samplers like reMIDI or songwriting tools like Rapidcomposer, Synfire, orbcomposer/producer etc. That's an amazing feat in itself.Share ur thoughts on the these software/plugins that u may own or downloaded or tried or you've just come across on the web, that basically deals with Midi. and so far, both Cognitone and Rapidcomposer are still in business.
LIKE RAPIDCOMPOSER SOFTWARE
people want them)īut anyway, I think it's interesting that such piece of software can now exist as commercial software. Especially for huge unison staccato ostinato strings that's everyone seems to love for trailor-esque soundtracks. There are points where I can see assistive harmonizing and auto notation being helpful, like mocking up strings arrangements. but I've yet to see anyone who is creating high grade material, incorporating the assistive technologies into a professionally acceptable workflow. Obviously, those are not the developer's intentions. It reminds me of piano library aficionados who only "render" midi files they find floating on the web. I looked on their forums, and there seems to be a good amount of users who have a bunch of VSTi and sample libraries (ehem, where they got them from I don't know) who simply use Rapidcomposer as a means to pump notes into them and make sounds. The target demographic is a puzzling one. and to my knowledge, AI and computer based decision making should be much more sophisticated. As far as I can see, everything is based on simple probabilistic models. It's also functionally too limited to be considered a state of the art algorithmic composition tool. Overall, I felt Rapidcomposer was much to unstable to be worth the time. Mine step sequencer was even aware of the song structure, so it understood where the build and break points were, to adjust the parameters accordingly. I think this sort of macro level motion is quite important not just in composing since you use it to create flow and dynamism that spans longer than a 1 measure pattern. At least mine was based on an oscilating upper cut off point, so the chord comping moved up and down with inversions, even creating pseudo melodies in the process. It blindly uses probability to generate notes, and while it always hits the notes it's supposed to, it leads to a lot of machine gun repeated note triggering. The probablistic step sequencer that rapidcomposer uses I feel is also too simplistic. In my experience, that's too simplistic and doesn't lead to progressions that a composer would pick. Rapidcomposer seems to create arbitrary chord change points (in time), and then simply assign chords probabilistically.
LIKE RAPIDCOMPOSER GENERATOR
The chord generator is actually less intelligent than the one I made, since mine would pick chords taking bars into account, so that it would try to finish off a progression toward the end of the bar, and start off a new bar with a 'start' of a new progression. (might be able to do more, I haven't gone through everything) So, not too far of from the algorithmic techno generator I made some 12 years ago. It has a markov-esque probabilistic chord progression generator, and a phrase generator that is much like a step sequencer that can map polyphonic phrase content to the nearest chord note. So in a way, I view it as a supportive tool rather than the program being able to write competent music completely on its own.
Can computers spew out music notation that is useful under the tight supervision of a musician.
I mean, the notion itself is a challenge, and already includes a bit of a cheat. I quickly went through Rapidcomposer to see whether the cheaper alternative to Cognitone Synfire, was up to any kind of production quality.
