Thanks Andre for those great two tutorials! I still cannot use the parameter interpretation in its totality. Is there a way you can create a tutorial as specific as these two?
This is my work flow:
1. Create melody
2. Import into synfire as static pitch
3. Harmonize it
and then when is time to add other instruments I am not exactly sure how to make sure they follow that harmonization.
The singers tell me that the scale I am telling them to sing is not the one the instruments are playing? How can this be?
Thank you so much for your great tutorials.

Hi Eduardo
Hi List
Manipulating the vertical, the horizontal scale or even the tonality may change the pitch of a non-static figure. Reading the resulting score, you will see differences. (in the score pict: voice 1 was the static "brown" melody in Synfire, voice 2 a "blue" one) Cause this would happen to all the instruments except the static ones - in your case, the singer. So he(!) would think he is out of tonality. I'm not shure but I think "interpretation" will not manipulate static notes at all.
So be careful choosing your scales or tonalities for the accompaning instruments, trust your ears, that's the best way: -- or let estimate Synfire what to do (the first example in the score pict): this will result in a unspectacular and common harmonisation, and your singer will be happy, I hope.
cheers,
Michael
PS:
@ Eduardo :-) sorry my example is not easy to sing, and maybe I'd rather taken a harmonic one instead of a melodic one for voice 2. I've just choosed a random phrase of a library of mine.
@ Andre: I didn't went deep in "interpretation*, what exactly it does, so if you make a tutorial video, I will be happy too.

I appreciate your help Minkepatt. I will reviewed this again. So as long as I keep the melody static, the arrangement would follow it? regardless of interpretation parameters? Would it be better to leave the take parameters default and let synfire choose? I do not really understand scales horizontal and vertical and all the rest.
I mainly write pop and latin, so is important to keep it radio like sound!
Thanks again pal!
