Songtrix Gold 3.0 supports musicians in the same flexible and open-ended
way that a word processor supports writers. Compose a chord sequence
and apply styles to produce a professional musical arrangement in
seconds.
Or create your own masterpiece from scratch, using intuitive events like
strums and drum rolls for rapid drafting and refinement of musical
ideas.
Explore new and original harmonic progressions for your music, compile and print staff notation instantly.
Then take your completed songs to the world by publishing them securely
on the ChordWizard Network, or just share your songs privately with
friends and collaborators who can view, play and print them with the
free Song Player.
Automatic Styles
With styles, Songtrix can turn a simple chord sequence into professional
arrangements for backing tracks, improvisation practice or rapid
composition.
A diverse set of musical styles is supplied, and these can be mixed across tracks for literally millions of style combinations!
You can use substyles with Intro, Fill-In and Ending patterns to create rich and seamless performances of the finished work.
The process is flexible and transparent, so you can choose which parts
of the song will use styles, and see the musical events that Songtrix
generates.
You can progressively override and customize style events to get exactly the sound you are looking for.
Compose Yourself
Songtrix is also a blank canvas for developing your own musical themes.
Use the rich palette of musical events to produce your original
compositions or arrangements from scratch.
Audition and select chords from the menu, then design your own rhythms to play them with.
Tracks can split into repeating segments to automatically propagate your drum and rhythm patterns throughout the song.
Take full control of the creative process by adding and editing musical
events within Songtrix, or with an attached Midi keyboard (or other
instrument).
You can easily apply playing techniques - such as sustain, slide, pitch
bend and vibrato - to achieve a stunningly realistic performance.
And So Much More...
Midi files can be imported into Songtrix, using a process that analyzes
and identifies chords (which Midi does not provide). Songs can be
exported to Midi files, to WAV files (for burning to CD) or to MP3
files.
Recording from a Midi keyboard in Songtrix is great fun and easy, even
if you don't play the piano. Songtrix changes the chords for you, so
can record great sounding rhythms without lifting your fingers from the
keys!
Songtrix can efficently apply a wide range of adjustments to your song,
to shift, stretch, quantize, humanize or transpose events.
Songtrix Gold adjusts to suit your playing level, and extends so you
never outgrow it. Advanced level is very comprehensive, with 57 chord
types and 36 scale types, which you can add to without limitation.
The whole package is superbly documented with a Help file that sits
side-by-side with the workspace for easy reference, as you explore the
world of musical creativity that is now open to you.
