Musical Palette - Melody Composing Tool.

Please take a look at my program Musical Palette - Melody Composing Tool. The program is based on the composition theory and harmony theory. The site of the program is located here:

Musical Palette - Melody Composing Tool. The Music software that is based on the Composition Theory.

I had found this program as well, but I wasn't overly satisfied.

It offers a few good features, but then again,...

if a program would compose the music, what needs for a composer then?

this is what john williams uses.

no, seriously.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

... at least make it user friendly. Screenshot is a huge turnoff.

QFT.

Umm...should this even be here? I thought this kind of thing was frowned upon here.

Well, as the poster was a new member, with this as their first post, as opposed to someone who's been here for a while and is clearly not advertising, I suspect you are right and it won't be too long before this thread is closed :happy:

EDIT: I see it's been moved instead of closed, presumably as it's kind of relevant.

The program does not compose melodies, the program provides palettes of the chords, chord arrangements, methods of the melody development.

The user of the program composes melodies.

The main purpose of Musical Palette program is help to create melodies. The basic features are:

1. The program represents the melody in a structure that is analogue to the structure of common speech. There are words (motives), phrases, sentences. Such an approach allows a simple and effective algorithm to be applied to the composition of melodies.

2. The program implements twelve four methods of motive development. Some of them are listed here: variation; inversion; repetition; sequence and so on. These methods similar to the visual effects in graphical editors. The program suggests the 'theoretically correct' algorithm for the melody creation. The main advantage of the algorithm is: we take some existing part of a melody (motive or phrase) and apply the methods of motive development (for example, variation) to this motive of phrase to create a new motive or phrase of the melody.

3. The program knows the most commonly used triads and seventh chords of the key. The program represents the chords in a four-voice form. The names of the voices are soprano, alto, tenor and bass. Any chord has many variants of an arrangement. For example: any chord note can be placed in the first position of the arrangement. The chord notes can be arranged adjacently (tight arrangement) or remotely (wide arrangement). The user can choose both the type of the chord and the arrangement of the chord.

4. The program understands the logic of the functional motion. That is, the program knows the rules, which describe how and in what sequence the chords appear in the chord progression. On each step, the program suggests only those chords, which are suitable for the current position in the chord progression.

5. The program understands the 'voice-leading' rules. The rules define how one chord notes transform to another chord notes. The chord progressions, where these rules are used, sound very harmonious.

6. The program contains demo-scripts, which show how to use the program, and how to compose melodies.

7. The program has an option that exports the melody to a midi (*.mid) file. The exported file consists of three tracks: melody, chords, bass. You can import this file to any midi sequencer or style arranger to create a complete tune

... at least make it user friendly. Screenshot is a huge turnoff.

The program has very simple, intuitive interface. There are demo scripts,

which show how to use the program and how to compose melodies.

I think that's enough of a sales pitch for this admittedly relevant piece of software. If anyone has any further queries then please channel them directly to the Musical Palette website.
