Polyphony project v0.4.0

[d0lfyn]

Hi all v0.4.0 of Polyphony is out!

Changes:

• improved musicality: expanded harmonic possibilities and better melodic phrasing
• added a Sonic Pi synth subsystem, active by default (as demonstrated previously with a little fantasy on alouette)
• refactored and documented the codebase using modules and a few helper classes (thanks to @amiika’s helpful suggestions and explanations!)

For users, setup has been simplified: load and run!

Next Steps:

• develop musical ideas further by experimenting with Markov chains
• build a web app to make changing settings and customising motifs easier
• write a thorough testing module
• log extensively with log files

Lots to do!

Music

Here’s a little piece for winds, vibraphones, and pianos

Actually it is a pitty that I do not have the synth setup as you have. I would like to use the full potential of this great work. Maybe I’ll buy some equipment?

If you have use for instruments in other projects, it could be a good investment! In this piece, I’m using the Steinway Model D from Modartt’s Pianoteq Stage, and the solo winds and vibraphone from Spitfire Audio’s BBCSO Core. I also use the strings sections from BBCSO, but after listening to them a lot, I actually find the high staccatos a bit too harsh for my liking.

I plan to buy Native Instrument’s Cremona Quartet next. Watching some reviews tonight.
