Hello,
As an amateur I played the last years baroque music mostly on melodic instruments. I found the vertical „melodic" orientation of counterpoint very attractive. But it is hard to write e.g. a 4-voice counterpoint. On the other side my ears have difficulties analyzing complex chord progressions.
I found that Scaler 3 has a lot of tools (voice leading/grouping, motions, expression, articulations, …) to facilitate writing complex accompaniment for chord progressions.
My question: Is it possible to implement counterpoint melodies into the chord progression scheme of Scaler 3 without forcing Scaler to do things, which it was not designed for?
My first thought was using melodies, baseline and divisi or are the better ways (with a tutorial)?
Hi @Hajo Welcome to the community and thank for feedback. Counterpoint generation is something we have thought of deeply over the past few years. We have some ideas and this is definitely a direction we will move into. Melodic generation overall will be a focus toward the end of the year.
It was clear that there would not be an easy way, but at least there is hope that there will be some improvements on the melodic generation. Music is not only rhythm, bells and whistles
In the meantime I will feed some chorales to Scaler 3 and see what the program is capable of analyzing and generating music from these well known masterpieces.
I’m also very interested in this. So I will keep an eye on this thread for new info regarding Scaler 3 dev and possible other workarounds using other apps in meantime.
