Press Release: Symbolic
Composer 5.6 Released For Windows & Virtualization
|
--- VENICE, ITALY, 2008 OCT 13 --- We are excited
on the latest version of Symbolic Composer. New additions include pink
noise, popcorn and asymmetric noise functions. Also, full VRML 2.0
support is added to the release.
SCOM 5.6 runs on the Windows. Intel Mac and Linux support is realized
with Bootcamp, SUN and VMware Fusion utilities.
Virtualization allows to run multiple operating systems in one physical
machine, and is a rugged and tested practise on companies to max out
hardware performance in server environments.
Virtualization is also suitable for the personal studio environment.
Windows also has many tools not available for the Mac, and the choice
to run Windows side-by-side on the Mac is a well-adjusted decision for
the composer, too.
Following The Steps of Darwin
with Pink Noise
Pink noise, popcorn noise and asymmetric noise functions are suitable
in many styles, where 1/f or 1/f2 noise is required as the source of
musical innovation. Pink noise is nature's background noise, and
appears in every level of measurements, from stars to atoms and
brainwaves .. to Wall Street Stock Exchange, and bank crisis.
However, generic pink noise is just a statistical expression, summing
up the details, and hiding the uniqueness of the principles within each
process.
Thus, compositions made with standard-deviation pink noise are basicly
interpretations of the same composition, even when realized by
individuals not related to each other. The problem is that standard
pink noise algorithms do not allow further control of the spectra, and
initial noise sources.
Hence, SCOM implements Darwin's Pink Noise.
Pink noise was added by the request of composer Stephane Boussuge
(France): "Symbolic Composer is
definitively my favorite tools for
composing - and I've tried AC Toolbox, AthenaCL, Common Music, Grace,
Keykit, Pwgl and others. Do you have in your toolbox a pink noise (1/f)
generator?
I need one but it’s far from my actual level in Lisp programming and i
don’t know exactly how 1/f noise works. I also want to inform you from
the fact that SCOM run on Mac OS X very well with crossover emulator,
even with Wine."
SCOM's pink noise is not just a generic noise, but custom-designed with
settings of exponential amplitude decay, sub-smoothing, sub-reversions
and octave/semitone spectrum controls.
Additionally, the pink noise generator accepts composer's own vector
input - from the theme of the piece, for example. It is a rich source
of ideas, the next step in pink noise; fine-tuned on the intelligence
of randomness & design by the composer & nature.
"Pink noise is great
addition to SCOM library", says composer Janusz Podrazik (Italy), who is
researching genetic programming based on Darwin's theory of evolution
on 'Darwin's Passion' dramatised symphonic work. "Pink noise algorithm lets now the
composer explore Darwin's footstep of the origin of life."
Stepping into 3D World with VRML
VRML2 support was added by the request of a researcher Tom Jordan
(USA). "I have checked all the other
music programs, even tried IRCAM programs and Common Music, but I don't
want alternatives! Can you add VRML generation to SCOM, that would
allow me to research my new thesis?"
3D is not just cool, but it is the future of internet, too. VRML2 is
ISO-standard and compatible with X3D definition. It is supported by
many 3D programs and conversion utilities.
Through these, SCOM 3D creations may appear in real or virtual
architecture, and in the 3D web, the Web 3.0 - and maybe even appear in
the fast-growing social 3D environments.
Symbolic
Composer 5.6 is one of the most advanced and largest music composition
language available. Included are 1500 page SCOM Reference Manual with
detailed examples and tutorials, with intergrated Help & Search
that let's you to progress on your own path with the system and your
music.
"There's evidence that MIDI
interaction seriously constrains conceptual
reflection. Symbolic Composer steps forward providing composers with an
environment for thinking, experimenting and modelling complete
multi-orchestrated works without the confusion of performance data.
Symbolic Composer is the closest equivalent to paper-based composing
there is, only far, far more powerful", says composer Nigel Morgan (UK).
Symbolic Composer 5.6 is a masterpiece of musical
engineering, that now allows you to realize the full potential of your
studio, and realize your masterpieces of music, too - not just by
MIDI editing, knob-tweaking or playing by hand, but on the purest
algorithmic: on the imagination level.
