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 (...)

Hi all. I've made a new music video using Synfire. I've used lots of features of Synfire that I hadn't used previously, including the step feature for complex rhythmic melodies, and polyrhythms (...)

Here we go again. Enjoy it!

Hi all, I've created another music video using the same techniques that I discussed in the Synfire Zoom users meeting. Grateful for your crits' or comments. Happy festivities, Ruchir.

Hi. Here is my latest track made 100% using Synfire, then mastered in Presonus Studio One. I then converted this into a music video, hence cinematic: I'm not hearing much music (...)

I just want to comment Synfire Pro shortly. I have bought it and thought there was too much unwanted interpretation. One morning I woke up and tried Synfire Pro anew. I just (...)

Find the track attached below

Another example of morphing containers + a simple melody over a pretty fast accompaniment + the Synfire .xml generated file as imported in Finale.

Once again, Christmas’ coming and I’m happy of sharing my yearly carol with all my friends at Cognitone forums -it’s becoming a traditional event-. Video version: Audio only and RAW downloadable (...)

Andre, just wanted to thank you once again for creating Synfire - such an amazing tool for the electronic music producers! Waiting for the 1.9 update, whoooop, whoooooop! Since most of the (...)

Haven't had a chance to make any music for what seems like ages, so to de-stress from working too hard had a little play around with Synfire. Mainly using the example libraries (...)

This time I've taken a chamber music tune I composed long ago with the help of Synfire and some photos I took 6 years ago and combined this into a video with (...)

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.

Hi. I tried to realize with Screenflow a guide on how to preserve the chromatic passages in Synfire without disabling the Voice Leading checkbox under the Interpretation tab. I uploaded the video (...)

I've uploaded a video screencast showing my composition workflow for creating a simple snippet of music with Ableton Live and Synfire Pro. Descriptive text is in the subtitles. Be sure to enable (...)

Once again... Christmas For my family, friends, colleagues and fellow musicians, composers... All my love and gratitude Audio version: Synfire Pro + Logic Pro X + Eastwest Gold stuff

I'm doing some tests to find a viable way of assembling a library which could work in different harmonic contexts. The attached brahms_op4.coglib proved to be a good candidate. The op.4 Scherzo (...)

Hi. I imported in Synfire the first bar (omitting the grace note) of Robert Schumann's Arabeske op.18 via midifile and built on that seven-notes excerpt a 16-measures piano phrase. I (...)

Hi. I can't remember if it's in the user manual or somewhere in this forum, but I got an exact recognition of my take with setting the global key in the take (...)

So far I used almost exclusively the built-in synthesizer, at 99% the Yamaha Grand Piano patch. This morning I did some experiments loading ochestral libraries directly in Synfire (no drone, I don't (...)

Hi. As we know, Synfire needs a chord and a vertical or horizontal scale to define a pitch. And to me this is great because you can drastically change the meaning of (...)

I imported as static pitches the main theme from the MIDI file of Gershwin's An American in Paris . When converting it in Figures , Synfire totally missed the harmonies. So I (...)

A further example. In this short test I recorded (at a very slooow BPM...) a chromatic scale "out of tune". i.e., over a C major chord I began to play the scale (...)

Keeping on experimenting with chromatism in Synfire. Take Five (1959), by Paul Desmond and the Dave Brubeck Quartet, is one of the famousest jazz standards. To implement the first two bars in (...)
