The new random system allows the users add custom randomization methods to the system, which is important when compositional process is based on randomization -- since different random series have a characteristic sound, and what is suitable for one composer is not always the most prefered one for the other. Small user-enhancements to the random system also guarantee that no other composer can come up with the same sequence even the random functions are based on the same seed.

Symbolic Composer 5.2 is a well-defined and efficient resource of composition tools for the experimental composer. The package includes full 1500 page SCOM Reference Manual, has over 1000 music algorithms suitable for any style and complexity, and adds up also 300 microtonal world-music/theoretical scales, standard scales and complete chord system from the past 500 years of music history into the users toolbox.

Scores are written in simple text-based language, and compiled to MIDI in few seconds. Direct playbact works with ITunes, Cubase, Digital Performer, MasterTracksPro, MusicTime, Encore, Logic and Sibelius, and with Shareware Players Mighty Midi, Sweet Midi and QMidi -- after the score is compiled the file pops automatically to the selected output engine. Compatibility to GarageBand, Reason, Reaktor and stand-alone software synths and samplers is realized with General MIDI files that can be imported into any industry standard music software.

For the experimental composer Symbolic Composer provides a rich toolbox of advanced fractal and chaos mathematics, available to control any music parameters in micro and macro level. New functions can be added on-fly with the build-in Lisp language.
