Official 2.0 tutorial videos?

Just uploaded the first.

This is a very basic one about general navigation of the application. Although even experienced users might possibly find one or two details they weren't aware of yet.

Very impressive!  Too many times tutorials for new products start at a point without showing navigation.  Thank you.  

"Although even experienced users might possibly find one or two details they weren't aware of yet."  

For me, that is an understatement. Very useful video! I've been wrestling on and off with Synfire for years, but with version 2 and now this video things are coming into sharper focus.

In the intervening years I've studied up on music theory and some of Synfires unique strengths are starting to make sense. Dangerous freedoms!  As a former computer programmer, I'd really like to get to know the mysterious KIM better. I believe others have expressed a similar interest.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Starting with the very fundamentals is imperative. With 2.0 it is also fun. Obviously the developers need to make a start, so that at some point we can delegate more of that to others.

I agree. I am  having some basic problems now and could use such a tutorial. For instance when I copy a container and delete  a tracks figures    why does the tracks figures still play. 

First Video?   Andre is behind.  YT  Blue Phoenix made a great video on snippets a few weeks ago. 

Is there a list of videos created by Cognitone for Synfire 2 ?
This one is still there for snippets 
(https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=synfire+2+snippets+video&docid=608…)

Yes, improvise with snippets : is there a harmonic progression to follow ?

Whether snippets are the answer to orchestral composing ?
A while back I saw a divisimate software to create chords and more is possible.
Now if synfire is made multirecording capable then divismate can also start being used. 

This video  from several years ago from Andre is Top. Phrases and parameters in containers.  At the end you are looking at a  container with one colored Phrase (from CM chord) and gray out repeats. (jpg1) . Then Andre apllied Harmony to this small colored Phrase (we are still looking at the same colored Phrase and gray out repeats) but the result is Magic. Do not spend a lot of time reading the manual but watch this video . 

Here's a second one: Part 1 of "Figure". A second part will go into more detail what segments are and how they behave.

YouTube seems to take some time processing HD quality, so if this looks blurry to you, you might want to try again later.

Yes, the long processing time is strange, but I don't think reuploading would change anything.

Here's the next:

Thanks. This next one is higher resolution, BTW.

As we are at it, I noticed that I rarely used the relative symbol type yet, which is a shame. It's so powerful, expecially for open voicings across chords.

Oh, and a new build #4 is online now.

Keep them coming. 
 

Great product. Very unique and hence need time to grasp your head around it. 
 

thanks

The different Figure types are actually simple and intutive once you understood their definitions. It's getting complex at times when you hear something that doesn't match your expectation.

For example, I first wondered why the up and down paths of the chord arpeggios in the Figure (2) video rendered different notes. Until I realized the harmonic context switched in the middle of the segments. So, all is well. Sometimes you shouldn't ask yourself too many questions and just move on ;-)

Some quick comment on the 1st video starting at 4:00. "KIM" comments that in the result so far the different layers are hard to distinguish. Using different instruments is one way to improve this, but controlling that these layers use different pitch ranges is also a good option (and both can be combined).

Of  course, one can do this by ear, but It would be helpful if the pitch ranges of the different layers could be easily read in the Output parameter, e.g., by at least adding also the octaves to the shown pitches. Sorry for harping on about this. ;-)

Another video about Figure:

Finally a long anticipated video on arranging a song from scratch. It was shot with Synfire Sparks, but is also helpful for beginners with Express and Pro.

The focus is on songwriting, i.e. a linear sequence of verse, chorus and such. Later a part (2) will follow for Express and Pro (also songwriting) that includes the use of container aliases and nested containers.

Kim walks you through the song template and how to use it for songwriting and production. This tutorial explains the use of containers and aliases and is thus also helpful for users of Synfire Pro.

Waiting for an in-depth video on factories and what each of the many buttons and sliders do, how they interact with each other and overal basic dos and donts when "manufacturing" new phrases!!!

That would amount to 20 hours of video ;-)

It's probably more helpful to document each factory with a flow chart and description and have a video only for the basics. 

That would amount to 20 hours of video ;-)

KIM is a machine. Machines can do that :-)

I will get ready with coffee and cookies for an evening of binge watching
