Product Description:

Virtual Composer is a graphical multichannel musical compiler, sequencer and analyzer, designed for perfect execution of complex polyphonic music using QuickTime's Musical Architecture. It is mainly intended for serious performers who want to simulate human-like performances or who wish to manipulate musical scores in ways similar to those when performing live. Playing is effected via QuickTime's internal Musical Instruments synthesizers so you don't need MIDI cables or external devices and all upsampling and downsampling is done automatically via QuickTime. The application provides a very extensive set of global and local music controllers for volume and staccato as well as unique acceleration/deceleration facilities, making possible humanlike performance simulations. The program provides the ideal environment for analyzing musical scores with powerful search facilities, including naive, intervalic and rhythmic searches, with passive (score) and dynamic (channel) transpose facilities, with a quick Fast Fourier Transform facility and a Statistics facility. The above facilities can be used to completely disassemble the inherent structure of any musical score and to identify various correlations between different pieces or even between different channels of the same piece. An extensive set of examples is provided, with emphasis on the music of J.S. Bach.

Virtual Composer ReviewI used it… - Version: 2.9.3, 11/19/2001 04:04AM PST

to edit a 94 gig QuickTime version of Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. I was up all night working on it, but I'm satisfied with the result.

Virtual Composer ReviewThe current version… - Version: 2.9, 9/30/2001 09:10AM PST

is now much improved, but its many useful features are not always immediately apparent. It provides a good environment for exploring how a skilled human performer must intervene to make great works of notated music come alive. Some tradeoffs have been made to improve speed and accuracy; e.g. in some cases one can only edit one "voice" at a time. But if you are only looking for a quick way to convert your musical doodles into something resembling normal notation, you are missing the point of this fascinating creative playground.

Assistant can do more than Virtual Composer. And of course you need to be a rocket scientist to figure how to operate it. And of course your opinion is as credible as your posting handle.
