 Symbolic Composer 6.2 is the largest and most
popular music language available for computers -- now with powerful
tonality processors, that let the composer take the advantage of the
latest trends in music making.
Symbolic Composer 6.2 totals over 1000 music algorithms suitable for
modern, dance, classic, electronic, ambient, contemporary and
experimental styles. It covers 300 microtonal world-music and
theoretical scales, and (probably) all chords and scales used in the
last 500 years of music history.
Symbolic Composer is a massive collection of computer music and
research algorithms packed in an efficient and interactive development
environment. Symbolic Composer's rich music molecule dictionary enables
the composer to extend musical capabilities, helping to realize the
maximum power of studio investments spent on synthesizers and
sequencers.
Besides providing the composer a toolbox of traditional composition
tools Symbolic Composer also enables the composer to explore advanced
fractal and chaos mathematics for determining compositional elements --
right out of box, or defining custom algorithms with industry-standard
Common Lisp language.
Features
• Complete Chord, Scale and Microtonal libraries, and you are
free to discover
your own ones, too.
• Mathematical Generators & Processors provide advanced
fractals,
chaos and
number-theory functions.
• Symbolic Generators & Processors allow Recursion,
L-systems, Fibonacci, and other special solutions.
• Programmable Neurons supply added intelligence to your
instrumentation.
• Programmable Phrase Library allows sequential drum and
chording
pattern generation.
• Standard MIDI file output. This makes SCOM a perfect
partner no matter of the software and hardware you are
working with.
• Build-in HyperHelp & Search helps using the system.
• Music Language, that allows composing music of any style and
complexity.
• Historical & Contemporary Music functions supply the
classic
compositional tools.
• Over 1000 Algorithms included, each freely combinable to
each other for exponential creative freedom.

Composer Comments:
"I love SCOM because it
is so pure."
"It's really the most
wonderful tool I have ever seen for music
composition."
"SCOM steps beyond
notation and playing skills, like no other software
can do."
"SCOM is highly suggested
tool to teach and study music theory."
"I don't want
alternatives."
"Exciting"
“Symbolic Composer was one of the first systems that I
encountered that explored the art of algorithmic composing
interactively. The system functions are selected from hierarchical
menus
and pasted on the editor, so it’s a completely different approach to
musical compositione. It’s like composing music
from
one’s DNA structure.”, Composer Richard Devine.
"Ingenious"
"Nowadays,
symmetries are widely used in
musical composition, for instance in the various transformation tools
of
sequencers, and explicitly in the author‚s prestor (see chapter 49) and
in Opcode‚s MAX or in music software with fractal composition tools as
realized by Mesias Maiguashca [220] or by the ingenious
Symbolic Composer software", Mazzola
G., Author of Topos Of Music

"Wonderful"
"I wish to thanks people that have contributed in important way to the
creation of this book:
All the developers of the wonderful
algorithmic composition software Symbolic Composer, that I have
used for the composition of the exercises - and Douglas R. Hofstadter
for the beauty of his ideas on the perception, and parallels to
artificial
intelligence",
Claudio Martini, Author Of I Pattern
