![]() ![]() We certainly understand any disappointment with this current limitation (and apologize if the “liquid” moniker mislead). As you might imagine, time signature flexibility is very high on our list of intended development streams, and we will be providing notice when get clearer on timelines for this. The tricky part about it for us is that we intend on giving alternate time signatures the same kind of thorough treatment we currently give for 4/4. For instance, the Molecule Maps in Liquid Rhythm lay out and index all the building blocks for any possible rhythm in 4/4. One of the Maps is dedicated to all the possible subdivisions of an 8th note, and this Map will stay the same for any time signature. The second Map, however, currently presents all of the possible combinations of active 8th-note “windows” across bars in 4/4, and this Map would grow in size substantially for time signatures with more than 8 beats across a bar. (For 4/4 there are 256 combinations, while for 12/8 there would be 4096, so presenting all of the available options in a way that can be easily navigated is a challenge, but we have some ideas…) While “infinite flexibility” is a noble ideal and a continuing motivation, please bear in mind that this is an early version of our first application. Our root technology is applicable to multiple time signatures as well as tonal music analysis and composition aids, but we have made a choice to concentrate on building a succession of applications that provide a deep dive into the different corners of music creation rather than one monolithic application that does a bit of everything (territory covered well by the various DAWs). That said, please note that Liquid Rhythm itself is genre and style agnostic. ![]() Our musician/developer/videographers show how they use the software to make their own music, so they may give a false sense of style limitation for the software. As more videos and examples are added, this impression will fade. Indeed, one of the most popular features of Liquid Rhythm is the “BeatSeeker”–a set of pre-loaded genre-based displays that highlight popular building blocks used by each instrument type on the Molecule Maps to guide your choices in constructing a beat. There are 12 different genres at present from country to hip hop, and users can construct their own BeatSeeker Map based on files of their own choosing. (The pre-loaded Maps are based on MIDI versions of rhythm tracks from well-known genre-defining songs.)Ī final gesture to the discussion about the relationship between musicianship, creativity and the tools used in pursuit of them: This is a big topic, and certainly one on which we have many thoughts which would be best presented in a more comprehensive article or essay, so I’ll try to be brief here. It seems clear to us that all tools can both enable creativity and confine it, usually both simultaneously. In the case of music, we feel that the deepest or most basic “choice of tools” involves the way the music creator represents musical structure. #HOUSE BEATS IN LIQUID RHYTHM SOFTWARE#. ![]()
