A better bet to grow as musicians will be to learn how to deal in teh chords and teh scales by your own hand FIRST.
A better bet to grow as a musicians will be to learn how time works when it's you doing it FIRST, rather than fancy quantization features taking all the experience, the rich experience of that out of your hands for convenience and being in a hurry to put something out there.

helping you achieve beautiful melodies and soundful rythms with just a few steps, while setting you free to focus on other areas of the production process.

PRODUCAHS RULE OK
your 'rythms' will be soundful in no time



But sure, pick up that crutch before you can walk and never worry about learning to walk. Just get busy with THA PRODUCIN

This is everything wrong with today's fake musicians all in one place, so thanks for that.

[arpado]

@jancivil I totally agree with you. I myself have been taught music since I was 10 years old: I played the usual instruments, flute, piano, guitar, xylophones, etc. Music composition is my passion and so are synthesizers and modern instruments. The first time I found out I could play instruments with a computer thanks to MIDI, I felt enlightened. That's the reason I decided to develop solutions with this technology. (more history info at https://igg.me/at/arpado)

This project is far from replacing traditional composition. This was initially a tool used by real world musicians, guitar/bass/drum players, which were interested in expanding their performance with help of MIDI. It was initially an arpeggiator but it evolved to something bigger.

I cannot adhere to the idea that technology is the enemy of art or the creative process. That's far from being truth. Just watch one of the greatest soundtrack composers of the XX century making use of such technology: Vangelis

Best regards,
Nicolas

I'm being too mean, it's not you in isolation that makes me react. I'm cherry-picking the things which bug me.
"setting you free to focus on other areas of the production process"

This might be good for children, for instance.
I see that one goal is to export MIDI 'into your favorite DAW'.

I'd advise you to have someone revise the copy, some of the sentences don't fully add up.

I don't think technology is the enemy of art at all, everything I make comes out of a DAW today, and soft instruments. There is just this market for people that never did music at all who are led to embrace the machine as the generator of chords, the one guarantee of remaining in key, and a guarantee you're keeping time, and all that.

I think some people want to make music faster and some people want to make great songs that move people emotionally. Something computers, code and A.I. will never feel.

The free trial is rather too restricted IMO. 10 minutes of playback... severe.

[arpado]

@jancivil thanks for your comments. The restrictions on the free trial are still under revision. I'm considering your suggestion and hoping to make that more friendly.

And yes, both of you have a point I support entirely. Nowadays technology has taken an important place and very ugly "music" is released every minute. Brand new genres arise, solely based on the unhability of certain people to understand how to play real music. But, it's not the tool or the instrument's fault. It's the player's responsibility. It's up to you how do you want to use it. Maybe you have many instruments but only 2 hands. You know the chords, the melodies, etc. So why not using some help and have your solo performance be followed by some harmonies?

I agree, there can be an accelerated learning process by embracing technology and tools that help teach the fundamentals, etc. The problem is the "abuse" of these "shortcuts" that are being passed off as ear worthy songs. But, people are free to create whatever music they want, so really there's no argument here. I just think there should be a warning label that mentions the dangers of vices and crutches.

Indeed, I thought Native Instrument's Kontakt was severe. For premium instruments, the "Free" version stops playback at around 15 minutes. Same thing happens with Bitwig... it starts buzzing out morse code telling you to buy it.

It's hard to define what's OK and what's NOT when releasing a product for free if there are plans for expansion and further improvements: you need resources, developers, time.

Like said, Free version's restrictions are under revision.

genius contribution. I'll add that up as a DISCLAIMER in the Documentation.

[jancivil]

Bitwig's restrictions kill any desire for me to try it.
Kontakt, you can reload it and you can render audio from it. Once upon a time it was 30 minutes in demo mode.

In an R&D environment, it's different than say Steinberg.

I need a shortcut here: What is it this software can do as far as composition concerns that I cannot do with other daws/software/hardware and my already achieved compostional skills?

Can it improve my modal countercount techniques to help me achieve the level of Palestrina? Or my tonal counterpoint to the level of Bach? Or if I want to make exiting variations to a harmonization of a melody, e.g. not taking the shortest route determined by fixed scale, but use alternative voiceleading with occasionally modulations, augmented or diminished scales? Or if I want to play a solo in Coltrane style, use Jazz harmonies like Steely Dan, make a wonderful afro-american spiritual, or maybe even a fullblown requiem in Mozart style? Polyrhythms and cross rhythms in ancient African hymns?

How exactly is this software going to help me to “achieve beautiful melodies and soundful rythms with just a few steps”. Does it write its own melodies? Rhythms? Does it have a “soundful” or “beautiful” algorithm, a universal code for great melodies? (If we are just dealing with templates here, I hope you have the styles above covered to claim such skills of software).

I guess not. My best bet is that it at worst has very little to say about these things and at “best” is just another auto-tool to skip the kind of knowledge that would make you a unique and individual composer in the first place. Now I am all ears and willing to change my prejudices on these points, but then I need to know what it is it can do that I can’t do by myself in any daw or dedicated hardware. If it is not aimed at the level suggested, then at least tell me how it is going to help the noob writing beautiful melodies.

[IncarnateX]

Btw. Most honest and probably valid promo for a DAW I ever saw was Tracktion One a decade ago or more. It simply said: “If your music sucks, it still sucks, you’ll just make it a lot faster” .

Since Tracktion was the only single screened DAW at the time afair, they were right in theory.

Now compare:

It will take your compositions to the next level. A dream come true for those who already know about music theory,

Yes, look forward to that Palestrina and Bach level in a few steps. My dream come true.

Actually such unrealistic promises neglect music theory, and any good intentions behind the software drowns in profit oriented BS.

I won't argue neither confront against your prejudices, which seem to be many, au contraire, I invite you to visit the website, clarify your doubts to understand what it does, watch the YouTube channel and add yourself to the subscription form so you'll get notified once released.

Right then, you can try it and see if you're able to integrate it into your current workflow. Give some feedback, request for features or report issues if you find any in our upcoming forum here at KVR.

Best regards,
Nicolás

Done that and all my prejudces were unfortunately confirmed as expected. There are some stuff concerning some basic chord functions and some randomizatin/generative stuff and that’s it compared to other DAWs. This is no miracle machine that is going to make anyone trained in music theory reach their dreams of life in a few steps

Next time, why not cut the crap and be honest about its features? If you want to loan feathers from people trained in music theory like Jan and me, you will have to deliver and this does not to the extent promised. Marketing strategy backfires here because it seems like a fine software for what it actually does on a non-miracle level. I’ll give you that and could even praise you for the effort if I wasn’t that easily distracted by PR nonsense
