Art Vista announces the "Art Vista Orchestra Intonation System"

Art Vista today announced the Art Vista Orchestra Intonation System - a tuning software application designed to bring the emotional quality of a real orchestral performance into the world of MIDI generated music. Here's what they say:

While MIDI orchestras, frequently used in film, television and popular music recordings, today are able to realistically mimic legato and other instrumental characteristics, they are still locked into the equal-tempered tuning used in pianos and keyboards, which is unnatural in a real orchestra performance and lacks the emotional quality found in live orchestra recordings.

Music performances by live orchestras, folk music, and traditional country music, for example, share an emotional quality because of consonance in intervals and chords and because of melodic intonation, emphasizing directionality in the melody line.

The Art Vista Orchestra Intonation System works in real-time and tunes each instrument in relation to the musical context and to the intonation of the other instruments in the orchestra. The system emulates the intonation practices by instrumentalists in a live orchestra and switches automatically between melodic and harmonic (consonant) intonation.

Art Vista Orchestra Intonation System features its patented ARPI (Automatic Real-Time Performance Intonation) technology.

For me, true orchestral intonation has always been the 'Holy Grail' to achieve in MIDI recordings. We have been working on this issue for some time, and bringing the full potential emotion to MIDI orchestra recordings is a dream come true for me.

Hans Adamson, founder of Art Vista.

The planned release of Art Vista Orchestra Intonation System is September 2022.

Price: $99.00.
