Auto Composition based on Analysis of your Melody
Import your Standard MIDI File into CAMPS, manually or automatically assign Chord Definitions, and you're ready to go ! Once Chord Definitions are assigned, you can Auto Compose hundreds of new Lines based on Chord Definitions and auto analysis of existing Lines. CAMPS can yield very surprising results.
CAMPS offers a number of different methods for Auto Composition including the Magic Wand tool. Select the Magic Wand tool at the top of the Document Window and then click the desired Line Block to Auto Compose its new Line data based on its existing Line data. Doing this repeatedly can yield hundreds of variations.
Depending on the Track Category for the Line Block you select, an appropriate type of Line data for the Track Category will be reComposed.
Using the Magic Wand tool in the Piano roll and Notation Editors allows you to reCompose a region of Notes. Click the Magic Wand tool button at the top of the Editor. Then, click and hold your mouse button down at an empty location in the Pianoroll Area (or Notation Area) and drag your mouse over desired Note Events.
 
The flexibility of the musical tools presented in CAMPS would not be possible if their functions were made mostly automatic. The Magic Wand tool in CAMPS is designed to give a quick starting point and help in familiarization with CAMPS objects used for building compositions. They are not designed to automatically create some great music for you. Consequentially, the more parameters you define, the better your musical results will be.
