A new assistant for the composer
Sequenza
A new assistant for the composer
is a new type of sequencer especially designed to assist the composer in its creation work. It gives access to advanced musical techniques as easily as more conventional elements of the musical tradition. Some recent musical concepts may have intimidating names (microtonality, polymodality, spectralism, polyrhythm, etc.) although they cover exciting realities. While many softwares don’t handle them, or put them in a very distant back room, Sequenza attempts to make these techniques available to everyone, giving access to a rich and modern palette going from the simplest to the most sophisticated needs.
Thanks to the diversity of its writing, editing, processing and generation features, is able to produce musical materials of all kinds which can fit easily in either an instrumental work or a process of electroacoustic creation. Its proportional score, halfway between a MIDI editor and a classical score, offers a both precise, flexible and user-friendly workspace.
Unlike a classical MIDI Sequencer built around a single timeline, organizes each session around a potentially unlimited number of timelines and sequences. The session also handles a set of common tracks that each timeline may use entirely or only partially. This original design allows the software to support most diverse formal concepts and to accommodate to the highly variable workflow of the composer.
Writing
Write music more easily than ever thanks to pitch alignment, customizable magnetic grids, and many other original tools.
Editing
Enjoy numerous editing and processing tools to manipulate any type of musical object.
Generators
Create musical patterns, textures and drones of many kinds using powerful and intuitive algorithmic tools.
Samples
Take advantage of various libraries to organise your work, find, compare and share musical materials.
Additive Synthesis
Play with timbres and textures by manipulating a sound spectrum whose partials are composed of microtonal MIDI notes.
Structure
Organize your projects through an unlimited number of timelines and sequences and comment freely on each context.
