Hencleeday Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Dear All, completely newbie in this field and very eager to learn! I've just watched and replicated the steps from Stephane Boussuge's video "Import Midi from Logic" to import some midi files. What I would like now is to generate variation from the input rhythm, pitch, figures, gestures given and decide locally how many of x figures and their permutations. Any tips? Thanks in advance! Best, André Hencleeday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioHerrlein Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 One of the most interesting features of Opusmodus is the Unfold function. Within this function you can define many ways to vary your starting material. Of course you will have to learn what each function can do, like pitch transpose, length, etc. But once you figure it out there are many possibilities. The DEF-UNFOLD-SET and UNFOLD function opens up a whole new set of possibilities for the composer using OPUSMODUS. It can prove a very powerful tool in defining methods (functions) from the outset, for a specific work or as a global index of your most used functions. To be able to store methods, processes and solutions and call them at anytime becomes a valuable resource for a composers workflow. This function is a companion to the DEF-UNFOLD-SET function.

Stephane Boussuge Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've made a video showing a prelude composition from originally midi imported material: https://opusmodus.com/forums/videos/view-28-composing-a-piano-prelude/ As Julio mentionned before, Unfold is also another powerful way for variations. Happy Opusmodusing !! Stéphane JulioHerrlein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
