An algorithmic Midi music generator !
Musical composition is a mental creation, the instrument is an intermediary... and the musical theory chosen, one representation method among others. AutoGam allows the composition of music without knowledge of musical theory and without the need to be able to play an instrument.
For who ?No musical knowledge necessary.
Being able to play an instrument is not of any benefit, sadly, unless to you think of the mouse as a musical instrument!
Some knowledge of Midi music operation is certainly useful but not essential.
How does it work? Midi music is created from a set of numbers: duration, pitch, velocity, various effects, voices, selection of the bank ... and all these numbers are between 0 and 127.
Software like Cubase or Cakewalk receives a series of numbers from a Midi file or from a Synth and displays and plays them as music.
AutoGam also works with numbers. But you do not have to define each pitch, each instrument, each effect. In a graphic view you arrange some connected objects that possess each specific property.
The objects are linked in a number of different ways and algos compose the title you want to compose. Composition is 'on-the-fly', each modification takes effect immediately , you can improvise and construct your composition during the execution of your WORK.
