Auto Composition based on a mouse-drawn contour
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 MelodyDraw pane in the Compose dialog box. The MelodyDraw pane allows you a unique freestyle drawing for directing the Pitch occurrences in Line data being Auto Composed. MelodyDraw will guide the vertical motion of Melodic and Chordal Line data Auto Composition. 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.
