Sibelius Plugin Melody Generator

Hi, Roman here from The Music Transcriber. Today we will be looking at one of our top selling Sibelius plugins, Melody Generator. It has actually been 10 years since this plugin was released, but it has only recently started to pick up steam as more users discover the power of generating the spark of inspiration with a plugin. So let's take a look at how this plugin works to get the proverbial wheels turning. So I'm going to go ahead and launch the plugin. You can do this either through an assigned keyboard shortcut or through searching the ribbon controller. Alternately, if you know which tab it is installed on you could go there. Once the plugin is launched the initial dialog pops up. It is rather lean and straightforward allowing you to choose the number of notes in your melody. The default is 16, but you can choose any number you would like. I prefer to do smaller 16 note snippets to get my creative juices flowing. Once you choose the number of notes, we click on Choose Settings. Here you can choose the pitches and durations that will be allowed in your melody. For the pitches, you can choose either chromatic or any of the diatonic major and relative minor scales. But you can also build your own scales by selecting or deselecting pitches. For now, let's choose F major / D minor For the durations, you can choose anything from a 64th note to a whole note. If you allow all note durations you might get something rather modern and progressive because a 64th note could occur right before a whole note, then a dotted 8th, then a half, then a 32nd, etc. While that could certainly be an excellent generated melody for some genres, let's focus right now, for the purpose of this demonstration on generating a more easily countable, singable melody. So I am going to just choose 8ths and quarters and then click OK. Now we are back on our main dialog. If you wanted to you could change the number of notes in your melody, if you had a change of heart after adjusting your durations. But if you are all set, click Generate. At this point, the plugin will generate the melody behind the scenes and hold onto it until you tell it how you would like to export it. It is worth noting, that these melodies are all freshly generated algorithmically. These are not stored in a bank somewhere, so it is unique each time. To that end, as you will see, the plugin remains open after an export so you can generate as many as you would like. There are two ways to export. Exporting to text simply outputs a human-readable version of the melody. This is used mostly for academic purposes, or if you'd like to work with it in another program. Additionally, if you have our other plugin, Melodic Compression, installed, you can check that box as well. But for now, let's go ahead and export as music. When you click export as music you get the export settings dialog. You can choose which clef you would like your melody in written in. Let's stick with a treble clef for now. The other option here, the default duration list, is a request we received from many users. When the plugin generates a melody, it is doing so at a very subdivided level. Even if you only choose quarter notes, behind the scenes it is generating even 64th notes, but then rounding those up to quarter notes. As a way to keep the melodic generation fresh and unique, this added stage of randomization was helpful for the algorithm. However, some users suggested that maybe things be rounded to a chosen default. Therefore resulting in a preference for a certain note duration. Here is where you choose that note duration. It can only be one of the allowed durations you chose in the setting window. This is obviously a bit limited when you only have two durations, but when you are working with many it is quite useful. Once we click OK, the plugin creates a new score and puts the music on the clef you asked it to. It is a score in 100/4 because we want to be able to fit most melodies you generate into the same score. The intention in creating a new score is that you won't be able to overwrite any score you are currently working on, and then you can copy and paste your melody however you would like. As you notice, the plugin stays open and you can run it again and again, each time creating a new score to save you're generated melody. Thanks for watching, and if you'd like to purchase the plugin, you can find it, as well as a vast number of other Sibelius Plugins and other music software plugins at themusictranscriber.com as well as the links below. http://themusictranscriber.com/Sibeli...
