The time has come for an enlightened approach to the use of computing systems in the musical composition creative process.
Music Genie is not a substitute for talent of artistic taste. It is meant for serious composers seeking to utilize algorithmic generative techniques.
The Note Sequence Generator is based on scale definition music theory to create a Tonality Space from which a motif is extracted.
Each module can accommodate a new generative methodology (NSG libraries to come)
The Timing Generator logically combines base waveforms to produce rhythmic information and can be recursively processed.
Music Genie facilitates on-the-fly tuning adjustments that are not derived from Tuning Tables which limit note frequencies to 128 values but allows infinite real time frequency adjustments thereby enabling temperament to be modulated. For example, the note frequencies of an Ionian scale in C, require a recalculation of all notes when modulated to the key of C#. If there a 12 chromatic tones in an octave, and 12 base octaves, 144 base octave note frequencies are required. If each Key Signature spans 88-notes (a la a piano keyboard) 1056 frequencies are necessary, well beyond the capability of a Tuning Table.
From a conceptual perspective, the modular structure of the NSG, TG and TPG potentially can accept input parameters from any app that generates note sequences, timing data and/or tuning profiles.
