Amazing new version of YouCompose just released.
My favorite AI music assistant / accompaniment generator / midi sequencer, with loads of built in instruments, was overhauled with a major update ... The one issue I had with it before is that the piano roll was clunky and difficult to work with ., but from what I've seen so far with this update, that's no longer the case. -- It now has advanced piano roll editing, enhanced midi import and export, pretty much the whole app has been redone and made into quite the professional product. Definitely a steal at 6 bucks...
I had some very promising 8 bar tracks that I did months ago but never got around to finishing, as it was just a pain to work with before ...I think I'll definitely be using this tool a lot more now ., perhaps as my main sequencer for classical/jazz style ., which is the main genre focus of the app & the included instruments.

I'll share a short piece I've done in it if anyone would like to hear what it's capable of.

Looks great! Yes I'd like to hear an example.
Love youcompose. I need to start using it again. Here is an example from while back, played a melody and the rest was generated. Has to unquantize it manually at the time, think I can do that more easily in Auria pro now
Here ya go ..
I did the lead, the app generated the other parts., just exported .wav, no additional processing.
This is fascinating! I can see myself using this to make sample fodder.
here was a quickie on the train a couple years ago with midi exported to cubasis along with what I assume is patterning (that I should have left out, heh)...
That is beautiful man , great job. .. I am still a beginner and have a lot to learn before I can get to that level.
btw, Is the piano sample from YouCompose or added external?
I really enjoyed that ...love the interesting rhythm track and the dreamy feel of the piece. You've got hella good talent.
They HAVE made strides. Good update. Struggling however with adding more than one note in the same spot (in other words as a chord or polyphonically). Keep trying to write a second note in in the same space (time wise) and keep getting an error message. I KNOW this must be simply user error. Anyone with an answer/solution please?
Fascinating app!
I'm alarmed when i see anything like this, but watched the devs 2 videos on why he developed the app, he is a serious composer believing some elements can be produced by computer once the melody / main line is written- much the same as an assistant would.
His sax quartet performing 2 variations of a melody arranged by 'Aimee" is really nice.
Awww thanks
I had no idea so many of you were into this app.
I find it produces pretty interesting results.
never got around to learning how to use it properly. Guess I need to buckle up.
I made the track in you compose with the generic piano x4, then exported midi to daw, manually offset the midi notes randomly throughout to make it sound more like played by a human, used that humanized midi in the daw to send to iGrand app, bit of reverb and done
I don't think you can add chords to a single track. To get chords, you would need to have the same type of instrument on several of the tracks (.e.g piano), write a melody in one of them, then use the harmonize function. The other tracks will fill in with harmonious notes and together they will sound like a single instrument playing chords. Once you've done this you can go into each of the harmony tracks and adjust their notes to taste, but be sure to "protect" those sections you edit so that they don't get overriden the next time you use harmonize.
Nice update, btw. It might just stay on my iPad this time. I wish there were more options than classical and jazz, but it's a good jumping off point.
Does it react to dynamics?
Not opened the app for a while, but could this be that the app accepts/works with one-note melodies only?
Just guessing.
Thanks. Good thought/workaround, but I'm not certain I can see myself doing that. Pity that I can't just play the triad in my head on the piano and go from there, but each thing has it's thing I guess. You can certainly come up with some interesting iterations on any theme with this app and I appreciate the excellent export options.
YouCompose wasn't made to crunch the numbers on chords really. However, it would be nice if you could input chords, then pick the notes from which you would like to harmonize the other tracks. Feature request?
Just did a test using only four notes in a bar, each representing the root note of a chord, then harmonizing using the "Contra" setting from the Fragment's "Automatic Harmonization Point Placing" (tap a fragment, then press the gear icon). Made for some interesting results.
Playing with these options, as well as the "Combine repeating notes in" settings are where the action is. Made a really interesting song in minutes by copy/pasting the same 8 bar noodle several times and giving each section a different harmonization treatment. I will not end up using the results as is, but it did uncover some interesting progressions I wouldn't have otherwise found, which I can stitch together into something useful after stripping out the overt classicism.
Also thinking I wish I could import .scale files from Scalegen. That could be quite interesting. Another feature request? Guess I'm writing an email.
Wow. How have i not seen this app. Thanks for letting me know.
Here’s a little noodle using it for the first time. This is going to be fun:
Another fun thing to do with youcompose is play a well known melody and see what it comes up underneath it, can get some interesting results
I wrote the dev about the possibility of importing .scale files, but your idea would accomplish about the same thing.
Ugh no chords? Ewe no
It's not really that kind of animal. There are a lot of limitations involved (such as mandatory quantization), because it uses complicated algorithms to create the harmony tracks from the source material. Chords would muck up the gumbo, much like polyphonic audio to midi is so difficult.
That said— this ain't for everybody. I just like happy accident machines like this. It's got a Fugue Machine thing about it.
Looks pretty cool. A LOT must go into the programming, and asking to add another dimension to the mix is certainly asking for major development. Obviously years of work and just a labor of love for the creator. I’ll have to check it out. I’d use it to generate ideas to export and mess with. Anything that would create anything like finished music is pointless.
I don’t need it, I don’t need it, Fugue Machine vibe mentioned ... Need to reassess ...
Here’s another sample track i imported into BeatMaker3 to finish with a few BlocsWave samples.
M'boy. Don't let me get you all aflutter with the Fugue Machine reference. There's definitely more work involved with this app, and it certainly doesn't have the instant cool factor, but it has enough to offer that it's going in my toolbox.
Thought I'd get in on the fun. Imported into Cubasis, running a couple of my own minisampler instruments (Stylophone), Phosphore2 and Enkl. Very light editing and some drums mixed in.
