Song Builder 1.2.7

Song Builder will help you quickly and easily make music with up to 15 instrumental voices and a percussion track.

Instruments can be chosen from the supplied soundbank of 128 instruments and more effects can be achieved by loading additional soundbanks of your choice. Music can also be exported to MIDI or MusicXML files for input to music processing or music publishing systems.

Song Builder is great for composers as the JFugue MusicString notation means that musical ideas can be developed, tested and edited very quickly and easily. Notes within a Music String can be specified by their name and octave or by their MIDI value.

A note duration can be specified either by a character code, or numerically. Music Strings are the basic building blocks for a song. Collections of Music Strings can be contained within Patterns. A song would typically consist of a Pattern for each voice, where each Pattern would contain Music Strings and/or other Patterns.

All Music Strings and Patterns within a song are given unique names which makes it easy to keep track of them within a composition. A Music String can be shared between any of the Patterns in a song and it only needs to be edited once for the changes to be effective wherever that Music String occurs within the song.
