| Auto Composition from Scratch |
|
| 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 and drag horizontally in the desired
region of the Line Area to assign the starting and ending locations of the Line Block
you are about to create. ( Settings for Line Block such as Location, Color
and Duration are adjustable at any later time.) |
| If any Chords exist in the same Bar region as the New Line Block being created
with the Magic Wand tool, CAMPS will Auto Compose Line data using existing
Chord Harmony instead of arbitrarily creating Line data. |
| Depending on the Track Category for the Line Block
you select, an appropriate type of Line data for the Track Category will be created. |
| If any Line
data exist in the Line Block being clicked with
the Magic Wand tool, now CAMPS instantly analyzes the Line data and recreates
them with a click of your mouse. Doing this repeatedly can yield hundreds of variations. |
|
| Using the Magic Wand tool in the Pianoroll
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. |
