November 20th, 2010Documentation:
· Re-organized Menu Structure (easier to browse and locate functions).
· Éxtended Documentation (added special functions used in Score Lib scores, now fully covering and correct).
· Extended Essential Lisp (Lisp forms mentioned in the documentation are now covered, too).
· Extended and Customized System Index (quick browsing of all the main SCOM categories + define your own menus).
Interface:
· Output folder (launch SCOM MIDI files from System Index).
· Easy Desktop Placement (memorizes Window size and placement).
· Scrolling Grapher (allows bigger graphs to be scrolled).
· Listener (fixes high-light problems and auto-scrolling).
· Launch Web Pages (composition-related sites, Lisp Docs and SCOM User Group integrated in the Menus).
Workspace Management:
· Improved Desktop Restore (restore now also graphs, memorize index menu selection, places last Editor on top, easier to continue later).
· Snapshots (make a snapshot of current windows, and restore them later, quick project recovery, easy to switch between larger projects).
Editor:
· Def Evaluation (quickly evaluate a command in docs, or score without selecting it at first).
· Indent Selection (indents selection with a command, custom indentation also possible).
· Copy/Paste (standard paste/write over selection).
· Close Other Editors (close unrelated documents to clutter up screen).
· Hide/Show Windows (access Windows desktop).
Menus:
· Go Menu (extended set of SCOM commands covered, quick jump to document subtitles and Lisp forms).
· Related Menu (shows related documents and their categories, answers the question "where am I?").
· Intuitive save-path (save & open uses the topped editor path below, which is the mostly likely candidate to work with).
· Null-Compiler added to Eval Buf command (clears Class System bindings between songs, no strange errors due score overlapping).
· Selection-based commands and keyboard equivalents added to the menus.
Error Handling:
· Terminal Blocking (error-trapping spots errors before, minimized Terminal Window messages, more smooth SCOM operation).
· Freeze Blocking (all processes including searches now run concurrently and are stoppable, no halting).
Functions:
· Advanded Tonality Processing (sorting, mixing and compatibility between tonality functions works now transparent, re-organized Tonality Menus).
· Modulations (find the best solutions between transitions of given scales).
· Positional Chords (for commercial/film styles).
· Enrichment Rules (emulate Pop-Music chord-voicing, extend position chords into chromatism).
· Tonality Analysis (analyze scale and chord progressions, find the best candidates with minimum or maximum differences and energy).
· Tonality Symbols (attach notes to a symbol, and realize tonality symbols with SCOM's symbol generators, or with manual entries).
· Tonality Library Notelists (define tonality library entries with ad-hook notelists).
· Recursive Section Handling (control generative section contents).
· Number Theory Additions (number sequence-generators added + web interface to integer sequences provided for more).
· Cosmix Toolbox (many additions, requires manual tune-ups due http protocol in LW win is not compatible with the websites used).
· Added Conversion and Supplementary Functions (in many categories).
June 4th, 2010· Symbolic Composer 6.2 adds many new and revoluationary concepts into composing.
· Imagine being able to compose without physical playing-techniques to restrict your creative freedom. Click on a menu, draft an idea, and compose the music.
· It's hard to believe we could put all the compositional knowledge from past 500 years into a program. SCOM covers all music algorithms, and all chords and world-music tunings.
· Thousands of algorithms are made just for the SCOM. Its an unlimited resource to tap for novelty musical ideas and cool sequences - in all styles, and complexity levels.
Extensive Tonalities:
· SCOM 6.2 adds the best tonality functions to the system, letting the top-front composers to take full advantage of the rebirth - the Reneissance of Tonalitities.
· Enhance, add, delete, sort and mix tonalities and break the limits of static 12-Tone and Diatonic Systems. Step beyond and ochestrate tonality progressions seamlessly together with all the rest of SCOM functions.
Leading-Edge Algorithms:
· SCOM 6.2 also includes a complete collection of mathematical libraries, chords, scales and microtonals. With SCOM 6.2 you can now compose music no other software can do.
· Tap with the NASA satellites for Space Weather information, expand your scores with Fractals, Chaos, Physics and Math, and delve into the Fourier Synthesis - or even the DNA Code - for additional inspiration.
· Apply algorithms and tonalities over 500 years of the past - and step ahead into the future - from advanced club mixes to leading-edge contemporary styles and electro-acoustic experimentations - in any style and compexity.
SCOM The Music Language:
· Complete Chord, Scale and Microtonal libraries, and you are free to discover your own ones, too.
· Mathematical Generators & Processors provide advanced fractals, chaos and number-theory functions.
· Symbolic Generators & Processors allow Recursion, L-systems, Fibonacci, and other special solutions.
· Programmable Neurons supply added intelligence to your instrumentation.
· Programmable Phrase Library allows sequential drum and chording pattern generation.
· Standard MIDI file output. This makes SCOM a perfect partner no matter of the software and hardware you are working with.
· Build-in HyperHelp & Search helps using the system.
· Music Language, that allows composing music of any style and complexity.
· Historical & Contemporary Music functions supply the classic compositional tools.
· Over 1000 Algorithms included, each freely combinable to each other for exponential creative freedom.
February 13th, 2009· Includes Reaktor playback template (SCOM score, Reaktor Ensemble and playback loader).
· This provides user-modificable SCOM score and sound solution for the Reaktor.
November 28th, 2008· New additions include pink-noise, asymmetric and popcorn noises.
· Pink noise is the noise of the nature itself, based on n-level depth quantum fluctuations arising from the depths of the universe.
· While pink noise is the most difficult noise to produce computationally, SCOM re-invents it in musical way, with additional controls of the spectra, waves and internal processing, yielding in new-generation waves of change.
· Additionally, there are popcorn and asymmetric noises available. You'll find the noise functions on the System/Generate/Vectors/Noise menu.
· While pink noise is a large source of inspiration, also the VRML 3D generation forwards into the future. Create 3D worlds based on music, or make music from 3D spaces.
· SCOM is fully documented. It has efficient help system and search. It covers both music and programming details. It provides algorithms based on math, physics, genetics, fractals, chaos and beyond what nobody has not yet imagined. Included are all chords, scales and tuning systems, and historical compositional methods, too.
