Now it's time for Pop. I've written this song many years ago with an early version of Synfire, long before it became available to the public. Today Synfire is way more powerful (...)

This fragment is basically just the root container with a few phrases. Listen an see how far an arrangement as minimal as this can go.

More than any other kind of software, Synfire confronts you with the essential questions of creativity. What do you do to kick off creative momentum?

For orchestral arrangements it is inevitable that overlapping melodic lines (chords, harmony) can be distributed across instruments based on pitch. What is the best way to do this?

About importing and refining a library of building blocks that can be used as a construction kit orchestral and hybrid soundtrack music. This ongoing project will be updated incrementally until the library is finished.

In addition to bug fixes and other improvements, one major improvement will stand out with the coming 2.1. update.

I have no idea why the rider is pale or where and why she's actually riding, but since this arrangement lends itself so fantastically to Snippets sessions, I updated it and published a remix as one of the new Synfire examples.

Inspired by current A.I. art, I wanted to illustrate this orchestral track with pictures and need some input from you. What comes to my mind is a departure (as the title suggests) (...)

Great example of a minimalist style with maximum effect. I thought you might also enjoy his music, as I do while nonstop programming Synfire 2.0. Awesome stuff for such a young artist (...)

Although there's still a long way to go, I will begin sharing the first sneak previews into what's going on behind the scenes, starting this weekend. So be sure to check out (...)

Extremely cool upright bass solo here. I just came across this while programming a similar style for the upcoming generative algos. Erm, it won't be quite as exciting as this live performance (...)

Users that are new to Synfire often expect it to work like a DAW. To their credit, the difference is indeed difficult to tell at first glance, at least until it's unique (...)

Artificial intelligence has been around for decades, but only recently neural networks, deep learning in particular, became a hot topic again. I wanted to share a bit of insight into Cognitone's perspective on this is and what we are currently doing in the way of new intelligent features for Synfire.

This is an example song featuring 10 instances of Sprike and no other synth (except a drum preset from Soundcase). So this is a real demo of what you can do with (...)

Enjoying Sprike already? We'd love to hear some feedback and encourage you to explore it and create some new sounds. We'd love to hear them! I should note that Synfire 1.8 is (...)

This is by far the best composed trailer in the electronic genre I've heard for many years. I was immediately blown away. Maybe it's just me, but it reminds me of the (...)

This new video focusses on how Synfire relates to and deals with counterpoint techniques, that are mainly used for orchestral music (although almost every musical genre makes use of it, actually). (...)

This artist amazed me again: Tomáš Dvořák. Wanted to share this with you. His music is full of mesmerizing textures and breathing development. Regardless which style of music you are making, you (...)

Over the weekend I spent a couple hours analysing the code of Synfire Pro using the tool Code City by Richard Wettel. As I know some of you are familiar with or (...)
