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.
Brief introduction to a powerful micro-workflow that leverages the flexibility of moving containers (loaded with parameters, but no figures) around in an arrangement to achieve non-destructive phrase editing.
Watch how the root container of a new arrangement is being built. The root container will serve as the foundation for a song (continued in part 2).
Learn how to use containers to structure a song by altering harmony and phrases temporarily.
Get inspired by how figures can be transformed, copied, duplicated, transposed, stretched, reversed, scrolled with Synfire and more. This short example highlights why Figures are superior over static MIDI or notation when it comes to prototyping new music from scratch.
Get an idea how to draw a melody and create a second voice following the melody with simple copy & paste.
Brief introduction to a powerful micro-workflow that leverages the flexibility of moving containers (loaded with parameters, but no figures) around in an arrangement to achieve non-destructive phrase editing.
Unlike the recording of static MIDI in a DAW, recording with Synfire involves the conversion of static MIDI input into a dynamic Figure. This procedure requires user interaction, as outlined here.
The first thing you probably want to do with Synfire is to get more phrases into it to work with. The quickest way to do this is to import them from MIDI files.
Make the most of your recorded or imported figures by optimizing them for best performance in any harmonic context.
This example is a demo showing how only a few short phrases can make up a dense and lively "hand made" texture that can make a great foundation for a song or soundtrack.
