How the timing of phrases and progressions interact with each other.
This tutorial now shows how to generate Auto-Chords for multiple instruments that spread over a much wider pitch range, which is common with orchestral arrangements.
When playing the palette or any progression, you may have noticed that in Chords-Only mode, HN2 and Synfire do not play every chord in root position, as one might expect.
This is a progression document with various progressions of many Jazz Standards. You'll find the progressions listed by song names on the Section menu.
This is a list of links to songwriting and composition resources on the net.
Learn how to find chords matching a given melody. This way you can make an entire Synfire arrangement follow a vocal recording or other pre-composed melody.
Build chord progressions from pressing keys on your keyboard. Synfire estimates the most likely chord in a sequence of chords.
Here is a Progression Preset which consists of ten progressions. Many are 16 bars long with fairly fast chord changes. Download this and place in Mac HD/Library/Application Support/SynfirePro/Config/Progressions. It will then show up a preset progression when you upoen the Harmony Template.
I have created a chord progression palette. It consists of some Rnb type chords. I haven't quite figured out how to create future progressions. Should I do them by complexity, 4, 8 bars, genre. etc?
From user feedback and support questions we learned that there seem to be a few fundamentally wrong assumptions regarding what progressions are and how they work. Especially LE users seem to get confused by the built-in voice leading and its effect on pitch distribution (voicing) of chords.
