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 (...)

Today I used Synfire to transform a Brahms intermezzo into something else. First, in Synfire I recorded from a MIDI piano the first 9 measures of Brahms at a very slow BPM (...)

While I am struggling against a annoying influence, I have pledged to understand the basic concepts of Synfire. And, frankly, my surprise was great when I saw that the software is able (...)

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 (...)

all instruemtns were played into SFP using Ableton push. (https://www.reverbnation.com/groverbeatsxl/song/26550533-the-midwest-fa…)

Hi all, my latest album Conquest Of Light was released on Ektoplazm yesterday. (http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/blue-phoenix-conquest-of-light) I used Synfire to prototype Sullen Shiver, Obscure Gloom, Ultraviolet, Mending the Prism, and Summerfire. Thanks for making (...)

My participating tune in the One Synth Competition on KVR was prototyped using Synfire Pro 1.7.16.

Hi All, I've finished Polynegram Fragment 2, protyped in Synfire Pro. At the end of video, I've put a special mention for "Synfire" (poke Andre). It's here : [EDIT] A version (...)

Starting a new project: 'Planetary Treasures'. Music joined to photos and art from all around the world First Track: 'Butterflies' For further tracks, subscribe the Youtube channel. For downloading music only (...)

Played everything into SFP using drones with Ableton Push I. (https://www.reverbnation.com/groverbeatsxl/song/24999925-loceana-pt3-ca…)

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 (...)

Trance / Electronic / Progressive Prototyped in Synfire Express, finished in Ableton Live :listen:

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). (...)

A while ago, the idea of establishing local Synfire user groups was born. I followed the further course of things with interest, however I was a bit skeptical whether this could work (...)

Thanks Andre for Synfire :-)
