Synfire Music Prototyping Example (3 Views of a Secret)

In this Blog I offer "3 Views of a Secret ", which is to say actually 3 Structures of a Snippets grid, as a concrete example of using Synfire to work the same core material into significantly, interestingly different, yet fundamentally related arrangements.

The steps of my current working method I have explained here:

Three different end results I provide below for enjoyment and edification (all rights reserved):

Created in Synfire Pro.   Most instruments from Sampletank 4 in this one.
Geek video for Synfire users who want to hear and see Synfire at the same time.

The variables in play here are Sounds, Harmony, Figure, Pause, Transpose.  

Different Sounds come from using different multis for each project.  The Structures are built from Snippets, each of which contains a set of Figures for a section of "whole band" performance.   The A.NN sections seen on the Structure page are the Snippets as shown at the opening.  Pause (p) and Transpose (t) were used for improved musical effect.   The pool of Snippets was the same in each case, but the selections used in each arrangement varied.

These are "geek videos" prepared for possible tutorial value and the enjoyment of Synfire users current and future.   I mean, only geeks would watch videos of software playback, right?  <g>

The first few seconds of each video are silent setup, including a quick look at the initial Snippets grid.  I've taken care to make the Harmony (chords) visible throughout, and each video shows how that was done.  

Please listen on your good speakers with sufficient volume for groove.  

I consider each of these arrangements to be a core background, good enough to stand on it's own (IMO), but ready to be moved into a DAW for tasteful audio overdubs and solos.  Depending on where you are in your musician's journey, you might find the progressions simple or challenging.  I've aimed for a bit of both.   So, if you want to, get out your instrument and have a ball!

After any desired overdubs to create a final mix, I would do completely different videos to wrap up each individual creative expression.

I think there is alot to see and hear here and I hope you like it.   If you are early in your Synfire learning curve, keep going.  It's worth it.

As always, my deep respect and thanks to Andre and the team for the amazing music software that is Synfire!

P.S.   If anyone happens to feel a really strong "I know I could really wail over this!", PM me and we can arrange something.  Cheers!
