Symbolic Composer 6.1

Symbolic Composer 6.1 is the greatest and most powerful music composition language available with over 1000 music algorithms, suitable for modern, dance, classic, electronic, ambient and experimental styles.

Symbolic Composer lets you adjust the appearance of interface items to suit your preferences, mood or studio lightning conditions. In the middle you'll notice Sym-Clavier. This tool teaches you the basics of symbol mapping which is a powerful and unique concept of Symbolic Composer. 

The rightmost Browser windows lets you quickly access the documentation, function library and project files. On the left you will notice a score window with a lot of code on it. This is how scores are written in Symbolic Composer.

Visualizer (in the middle) is a handy tool to visualize data to experiment with interesting material before composing takes place. On the right side you will notice a pop up menu, this lets you quickly scroll the Document and Project Browsers to a certain function category. 

The tool palette on the left provides control to the system. More commands are found on the File, Edit, Lisp and System Menus, providing full algorithmic control on any MIDI parameters. Notice the graphical boxes in the middle: although you are using pure LISP to write SCOM scores the VLisp System lets you view LISP code as graphics. This feature enables a newcomer to quickly adapt into SCOM programming.

The Mrac, Cadar and Cresc menus has been programmed by contemporary composers, and provide structurized access to extended SCOM algorithms, which cover contemporary, general and historical music styles.

System Menu provides access to orchestral and arrangement defintions. You will also find mathematical, symbolic and conversion functions here. Documentation includes short code snippets that you can copy and paste to your score.
