Have you seen Orb Composer?

https://www.orb-composer.com

I don’t think it’s outstandingly great, but it suggests a lot of people are going to be moving into this space.

The problem is automated composition is incredibly unpopular with pop writers - they’d rather use samples anyway - and academic composers would rather do their own thing the hard way.

Most people are very concrete thinkers. IMO the number of people who can handle the kind of musical abstractions you’re talking about is tiny.




I haven’t no. It’s somewhat similar but very different actually.

I wouldn’t call it automated composition either. My thing isn’t too abstract I think.

Edit: I've looked at the sw now and I also hate it. Terrible UI, seems to be stuck in the 18th century as far as music theory goes, etc etc. and they want 700 eur for this?
