In this video we take an existing MIDI file and use it to create new melodies and rhythms in Opusmodus. We also show a very convenient way to create envelopes and control synth parameters, which we can then record.

Very fun experience with OM spectral function!
Have you ever heard a piano speaking?

Live Coding Instrument improvisation, for FM8, Reaktor, Absynth, Vienna Imperial and Prepared Pianos with five scores.

Video by Brad Decker: Algorithmically generated score (Opusmodus) through Max to a set of four unique wine glasses, each with a unique resonant frequency. Each glass gets the same audio signal, but only responds to their unique pitch/frequency when it "hears" it. The output from max is a series of sine waves, tuned to the four resonant frequencies of the glasses. (excerpt/prototype/experiment).

Here's an example of programming for composition, utilizing the techniques described in the "5 Opusmodus Lessons" from composerworkshop.com.

This video demonstrate how we convert OM score to SC parameters and values using Opusmodus system.

In this video we learn about the various methods cl-collider exposes to manipulate recorded sound (samples), we look at regular Samplers, as well as Granular synthesis. In addition we briefly look into FX and 'probability' based sample control.

Opusmodus via OSC, MaxMSP and Polytempo Composer, playing individual tempo-curves.

This is the LIVE demo of Stephane Boussuge showing in real time how to compose music with Opusmodus at the Karajan Music Tech Conference. Stéphane who is a composer himself did an amazing job with breaking down this innovative way of composing and also analyzing music.

modified ConcertArp recording, Steinway D Classical Recording A, modified Celesta, modified Cinbalom, modified original ChurchBells, Steinway D Classical Recording BA and completed with a Ircam Solo Instruments bank instance (flute, Horn, Cello) read via the UVI Workstation The microtonal frequencies are created in Opusmodus from a program that adjusts midicents.

This is a composition for solo piano I did during my Doctorate studies using the concept of parametric composition and the opusmodus software. Opusmodus is amazing.

Starting with a graph is a great way to come up with new musical ideas. This video will show you how to modulate a sine-wave and map the result to a sequence of pitches.

I've never liked drawing automation curves, luckily, with Opusmodus, we don't have to. This video shows you how to create accurate automation shapes and apply them to any parameter you want.

Being able to visualize a code-snippet can go a long way in understanding how a function works. This video shows you how to create multiple graphs and apply them in a musical way.

It's easy to get stuck with the same old drum patterns, not with Opusmodus though. This video shows you how to use the polygon-rhythm function to create interesting and new patterns.

Writing for four voices traditionally takes a lot of practice and patience, as it should be. Still, it's great to get a little bit of help sometimes. In this video I show you how to use the choralis function to experiment with voice leading in a very straightforward way.

The power of Parametric Composition lies in the ability to separate individual aspects of your compositions. This video will show you how to experiment with different velocities before mapping them again to a row of pitches.
