FlexiMusic Composer Features
Description:
Composer
is a complete music composing software. It is also a
multi-track audio mixer with an unlimited number of tracks to mix your samples.
Applications:
-
Using your sound beat samples and voice recordings, you can use the sequence,
loop, and music cycle tools to compose complete songs/effects.
-
You can use it as a multi-track wave editor to mix multiple wave file with the
required timing, repeats and effects.
Who can use it:
Digital Musicians/ Composers/ Sound Engineers can create anything they can
imagine, easily and quickly. Any computer user can become a digital musician
without using any musical instruments. All you need is creative thinking and
interest in music as a
hobby.
Sequencing:
An unlimited number of tracks can be added as needed for mixing. Tracks are
created using your choice of three methods:
-
a single
Wave
[.wav] file
-
a
Step Cycle
Pattern you create
-
a
Bar Cycle
Pattern you create.
Play positions are shown as blocks that you can drag using your mouse. Effects
can be added to a
Music Cycle
or an individual
Wave
sample.
Track Source / Music Cycle:
Bar Cycle Pattern: Use this for a complicated pattern. You load the samples in
the order you want them to play then adjust their timing by moving their
"blocks" until you have what you want.
Step Cycle Pattern: For a simple pattern. You load samples in as "buttons" then
add or subtract the samples from the
Cycle
by toggling the buttons on and off.
Add multiple patterns with different delays. Set number of repeats (or
loop
it)
and adjust
pan
and
volume
. These
Music Cycles
can be placed on the tracks as a single block. This way you can adjust the
whole cycle of many patterns on the tracker as one "sample". Available
adjustments also
include
pitch shift, volume, pan
and
height trim
. With pitch shift
you can produce sounds, in multiple keys, using one source.
Collections:
Sample wave files can be separated into
groups
, and groups into
collections
. These collections can be saved as a file to reuse in other
Composer
files. Additionally, they can be saved as a
default collection
so that they come with every new file.
Visible Waveforms:
All the waveforms are visible for easy composing. Waveform of samples in
collections are shown in the
Collection
window. Waveform of wave files and music cycles are shown in
Track Source
window. Each track's mixed output is shown with the respective track. Final
output of
all tracks mixed
is shown at top of
Sequencer
window.
Play Select:
In this process you can select a
time range
and test play each part separately. And
you can loop any part for testing with your
defined loop
delay.
Tick, Cycle, Steps Tempo:
You can use
tick time
(the smallest time unit) and
cycle time
for easy adjustment of timing. The number of ticks per cycle and number of
steps per cycle also can be adjusted. There is also a
tempo percentage
to adjust the playback speed.
Files:
You can:
-
Save and open music
Composer
files
-
Merger one file into another
-
Save the output (played, selected or full song) to a standard wave
format file (*.wav)
-
Set the quality of the output wave format (bit rate, sampling
frequency and channel)
If you would like to use .mp3
format to compress and save you can use
Wave Editor
to convert from wav to mp3.
Wave output format supported:
Channel: Stereo and Mono
Sample size: 8 bits and 16 bits
Sample rate: 11025, 22050 and 44100 Hz.

Orchestra
is a virtual musical instrument on your PC and a professional keyboard
player
for live performance.
Applications:
-
Use it as a virtual musical instrument[s]
-
Use it for live music orchestra performance, with one or more performers
-
Use it as a
real time
key press
Informer
, while running in the background. (see
Features
for details on this)
-
Use it as a DJ / Disk Jockey or jukebox
-
Use it as multiple sound wave player, assigning each sound
*.wav
file to a
key of your keyboard or mouse and play them in
real time
.
Features:
In
Orchestra
you can assign samples to each key/button of all your
Input Devices
and play it like an orchestra or musical instrument. [Input devices include
keyboard, mouse, joystick, midi and additional keyboards, anything that
DirectX can detect.] It plays the sounds as soon as the key is pressed, unless
you set it to queue.
There are two modes:
-
Keyboard Mode:
For hobby at home you can use your normal computer keyboard to play any
musical instrument or song.
-
Live Orchestra Mode:
In a live music orchestra multiple keyboards can be connected to one PC and
multiple performers can play music at the same time. And a set of samples can
be
assigned and changed to change every ones sound.
Key Press Informer:
You can assign sound samples to any key & mouse function and
leave the program running in the background while you are working on another
application. This can be used to alert you which key is being pressed. You
can assign key name sounds to each key so that when a key is pressed it will
sound that pronunciation. This can be useful for children learning the
keyboard or to improve accessibility for handicapped individuals.
Play styles:
Four play styles are available while assigning sample wave files to a key:
-
Play Once: Plays a sound once for each press of the key. You can set it either
to allow or not to allow duplicate play.
-
Play Multi: Plays a sound multiple times with variable delay times you choose.
-
Play Loop: Loops the sound either continuously or the number of times you
choose, pressing the key will start or stop the playback.
-
Play Queue: This will queue the samples or songs and play them in order. You
can have single or multiple (up to five) queues running concurrently. You can
set it either to allow or not to allow duplicate play.
Midi sound:
The General Midi (GM) 128 bank instruments and 9 bank Drum sets can be assigned
to keys and played.
Multiple Input devices
(in Orchestra mode):
You can connect any number of input devices (keyboards, mouse, joystick
music-keyboards, etc.) and use them together for multiple players . All inputs
will playback simultaneously in
real time
.
Multiple Play Boards
(in Orchestra mode): You can create unlimited number of
play boards
. Each play
board can have it's own set of sound assignments. As you are playing you can
change play boards to access a completely new set of samples. When you define
multiple instruments (piano, guitar, etc.) you can assign each instrument it's
own play board.
DJ / Juke Box:
If you have sound/music in
*.wav
files, and using the program's
Queue
and
Loop
functions, you can create a music player performance. Additionally, since it
can play multiple samples at the same time, you can play additional songs or
effects samples simultaneously to create a full "DJ" performance.
Save and Open:
You can save and open
Orchestra Files
.
You can either save samples within the
orchestra file
(for easy transport) or
leave the wave files in their original directories (to save space).
Wave file format supported:
Channel: stereo and mono
Sample size: 8 bits and 16 bits
Sample rate: 11025, 22050 and 44100 Hz

FlexiMusic Generator Features
In FlexiMusic
Generator
you can generate different types of sound with various algorithms using
graphs, sine definition, wave, envelopes, numbers, random, existing wave file,
noise etc. These can follow defined durations, using varying frequency-graphs
and
volume-graphs. You can apply
sound modifiers
to it to enhance samples, create your own
custom music instrument and generate various unique sounds using the
endless combinations available in the program.
Applications:
Sound Generation / Voice Processing:
-
You can use it to generate music instrument sound, customized musical sounds
and unusual special sounds.
-
You can use it as a virtual
synthesizer
.
-
Sounds you generate can be saved to an encrypted file so that you can control
who uses them.
-
You can also create multiple sounds adding pitch (frequency) and duration
compensations to it.
-
You can modify a voice sample and apply special effects to it to produce
special voice effects
like robotic voice, synthetic voice and more.
-
You can generate
effects sounds
based on voice samples to create a variety of "tricks".
Who Can Use It:
Digital musicians, composers, producers, sound engineers and those who wish to
produce musical and non-musical sounds without conventional music instruments.
Amateur Musicians can produce simple musical creations easily with the
program's easy-to-use features.
Professional Musicians can generate various kind of musical and special
sounds , limited only by her/his imagination, making full use of the program's
capabilities.
Sound engineers and sound research professionals can make use of it to create
new and
unique sounds and effects.
Professionals can create special sounds and distribute to others using the
encryption feature to protect their work.
Detailed Features:
Sound Source Types:
Six different types of sound generator sources are available. Sine, Graph,
Wave, Mouth, String and Noise (These types are supported now, future versions
will have more).
-
Sine Type Sound Source:
By defining few points and angles (called
sine definitions
), the complete
waveform is created automatically using
sine rule
. Additionally, you can have
multiple sine definitions for the same sound making the sound cross-fade
gradually from one to other.
On this sine type you can apply changing frequency using frequency graph.
The basic simple sine wave sounds for drums, etc. can also be produced this way.
-
Graph Type Sound Source:
This produces sound using graphs, where you actually draw the single cycle
waveform shape (a small part of wave). If you know the wave shape of a
particular instrument, you can draw that to produce the same instrument's
sound. If an instrument's wave is changing from one shape to other shape, you
can draw multiple graphs for different positions, for it to produce changing
wave shapes sound.
In this, you can also draw random line graphs, and random point graphs using a
menu.
Graph Type Sound Source (indirectly using wave file): You can generate
different sound based on an available beat
*.wav
file. This is to produce an
artificial sound similar to a natural sound, where you have the freedom to
modify it further. Using
Wave Editor
, pick samples and copy to the clipboard. Then bring that sample in to
Sound Source
using
"Insert Samples"
. Many graphs will be automatically drawn from the sample you picked. Here
you will get somewhat similar sound of that beat of the *.wav file, but made up
of graphs (Graph type Sound Source).
-
*.wav Type Sound Source
(directly from *.wav file):
Here you select and use an existing *.wav file. You can use part or all of the
sample. By adding compensations to this wave's sound you can produce different
sounds all based on the original sample.
Two types of frequency compensation can be applied to this,
-
Shrink/Expand (Midi Style):
Like how the midi processes a patch, it can change the pitch/frequency using a
frequency graph. Since you are using a graph for frequency compensation, you
can exert exceptional control.
-
Uses Wave Markers:
You make markers on that wave file and use it to
stretch
. In
this case you can apply compensation (in addition to frequency) to width/length
also by stretch a graph.
Note:
Voice Processing:
When a
Voice
is used to make the *.wav type sound source, you can use them to
compose a song, or you can apply multiple effects to modify that voice sound
to produce different voice sounds.
-
String Type Sound Source:
This is a synthetic string sound generator. Here you define a pattern by
choosing Envelop Shape and Wave Shape, sound is produced by applying Envelop to
the wave shapes, further the envelop and wave shape are modulated for width and
height.
You can define multiple pattern sets to produces sound varying from one shape
to other. With in each pattern sets you can have single or multiple Envelop and
wave shapes. You can choose these shapes from the no of available shapes or
make your own.
-
Mouth Type:
Mouth type is to produces sound like multiple lips vibrating with different
resonance synchronized to each other (like each sections of the vocal track).
Additionally you can attach 2 small wave files as prefix and suffix. Animal
sound also can be produced like this.
-
Noise type:
Here is a
best
Noise Generator. There are 5 different types of noise that can be produced.
Multi-frequency noise bandwidth can be set as needed. When noise follows the
frequency graph and frequency range/limit, very special noises come out. If
you
download this software remember, open and try the sample noises.
Frequency Graph, Volume Graph, Duration:
For all these 6 types of sound sources, you can have changing frequency
and volume. These are input by graphs, so you can have a hi-frequency at the
start and low frequency at the end, or changing up down to any at any position.
Just draw what you want. You can even create random graph to get different
sounds. You also have scatter command to scatter the graph to give scattering
frequency value.
Sound Modifiers / Effects:
To modify the above sound source further, these four
Sound Modifiers
are
available now. Future versions, he promises, will have more.
-
Equalizer
- with unlimited no of bands (You set the no of bands as you need).
-
Echo
- with multiple echo definitions.
-
Wave-On-Wave-Filter
- Effect to produce sound by adding frequency and amplitude modulation
together. 3 choices of amplitude styles and 7 choice of frequency styles are
available to produce various combinations.
-
Reverse
- You can apply reverse either on the full sample or a selected area.
Sequence of applying these operations can be changed to manipulate different
effects with different combination of sequences.
Save, Open, Load:
-
You can save and open FlexiMusic Generator file (*.FmGen).
-
You can merge one file to other.
-
You can save played output in to wave format file (*.wav).
-
You can save encrypted
read only
file to distribute.
FlexiMusic Instrument Player:
[FlexiMusic Instrument File (*.FmIns)]
The sound generating source file can be encrypted with password and saved in
with another extension name "FmIns". That file can not be edited or viewed. It
can only
be played and the output wave can be saved, using the utility
FlexiMusic Instrument Player
.
Keys / Pitch Changing:
Using one
Instrument File
, multiple compensated sounds can be produced, by giving
different compensation factors. You can vary the frequency/pitch and duration.
Using the encrypted Instrument File you can play with various compensations
(like playing various keys) and save different sound samples.
