Symbolic Composer
|
The most advanced and largest music & VRML 3D composition language. Symbolic Composer 3D is one of the largest music language available for computers, permiting the composer to fuse together the music and arhitetcure.
Symbolic Composer totals over 1000 music algorithms suitable for modern, dance, classic, electronic, ambient, contemporary and experimental styles. It covers 300 microtonal world-music and theoretical scales, and (probably) all chords and scales used in the last 500 years of music history.
Symbolic Composer is a massive collection of computer music and research algorithms packed in an efficient and interactive development environment.
Add-ons
These include items of special interest concerning DNA/RNA Music, VRML 3D Generation, and compiled fsl files that extend SCOM.
Output Folder Demos
In the Output Folder you will find .mid demos that show the flexibility of SCOM regarding many styles. You also will find all the score source files in the Projects library.
SCOM is completely free to program, and these examples should not restrict you in any ways discovering your own style.
Symbolic Composers rich music molecule dictionary enables the composer to extend musical capabilities, helping to realize the maximum power of studio investments spent on synthesizers and sequencers.
Besides providing the composer a toolbox of traditional composition tools Symbolic Composer also enables the composer to explore advanced fractal and chaos mathematics for determining compositional elements -- right out of box, or defining custom algorithms with industry-standard Common Lisp language.
SCOM also includes Cresc and Cadar libraries, that allow generation and processing of dynamics, harmony, ornamentation variation, twelve-tone rows, Noergaard Infinity Series, Messiaen, Strawinski and Hindemith processing, suitable in contemporary composing. And SCOM is full compatible with the latest MRAC Composition Libraries, too.
Symbolic Composer sports with a complete collection of mathematical libraries, chords, scales and microtonals, fractals, chaos, physics, math, or even realtime satellite data and DNA code for additional inspiration. Apply algorithms and tonalities over 500 years of the past in any style and compexity of the score, thats SCOM for a short.
SCOM launches
MIDI files using Windows default .mid filetype opener (defined in Windows system Folder Options/Filetypes settings). You can set there the program that Windows/SCOM will launch when you double-click .mid files.
MidiYoke and LoopBe30
When using a general MIDI player the output can be routed to "virtual cables" to your software synths for immediate playback though MidiYoke and LoopBe.
Symbolic Composer Features:
1. Context-Free Scoring Language allows composing music of any style and complexity.
2. Historical & Contemporary Music Functions supply the classic compositional power-tools.
3. Mathematical Generators & Processors provide fractals, chaos and number-theory utilities.
4. Symbolic Generators & Processors allow recursion, l-systems and fibonacci sequences.
5. DNA/RNA Processors enable to turn genetic data into music.
6. Programmable Neurons supply added intelligence to instrumentation
7. Programmable Phrase Library allows sequential medoly, drum and chord pattern generation.
8. Build-in Hyper-Documentation helps using the system.
9. Standard MIDI file output enables to use any sequencer, hard disk editor, sound module, or software synthesizer for playback & final assembly.
10. 300 chords, scales & microtonals provide complete coverage of tonalities used in our planet - and you are naturally free to discover your own.
11. Over 1000 Algorithms included, free connection and nesting between algorithms for maximum creative freedom.
12. Integrated Lisp Language allows to write own functions and documents.
13. Plug-in Expansion Architecture helps to distribute own developments to other users.
14. VRML2 macros extend SCOM and Lisp algorithms, and allow generation of 3-Dimensional Virtual Worlds based on musical parameters. VRML2 is the standard of 3D Web (Cyberspace) and is included in the official MPEG4 Standard.
15. Free Score Library templates to start with.
Limitations:
* Demo Mode allows access to all documents and interface elements, but cancels most functionalities. All functions are restored when the program is authorized.
