Mosaic Beats has released version 2.0 of AutoTheory. The upgrade includes a new Chord Memory function, multiple workflow enhancements, more options for existing parameters and more flexibility for advanced users.
Changes:
- Chord Memory – Easily create matching melodies over a pre-existing Chord Progression. Set a chord progression loop in the Chord Memory section and sync it up with a DAW. The Melody Lock will then automatically adapt to the current chord being played.
- Transport Function – Control the transport functions of a DAW through the AutoTheory GUI. This is very helpful for those using a qwerty keyboard. Transport functions also facilitate the Chord Memory sync function.
- Root Output – All Chord Generator outputs now have the capacity for Root tone output. This is nice for having a bass instrument play alongside a chord progression.
- Bypass Function – Disable AutoTheory and switch a keyboard controller back to its normal state with the push of a button.
- Chromatic Scale Mapping – Allows for advanced users to keep all twelve Melody Lock tones in their natural positions, while taking advantage of the Chord Generator.
- Dropdown Menus for Global Parameters – Easily navigate through all key, scale and mapping parameters.
- Improved Strum Functions – The strum parameter now facilitates Alternate and Random directions.
- Added Global Chord Types – Power Chords have been added, as well as new inversions and voicings.
The update is free for all previous owners. Mosaic Beats recently added an additional activation (2 now) for each license. Users can now assign their license to two different CPUs should they choose. They can access this through the iLok license manager.
