Description
This group is for discussing Impro-Visor (Improvisation Advisor), free software for musicians, used to create improvised solos, tunes, transcriptions, or bass lines in the form of lead sheets (chord symbols with melody).
Impro-Visor generates styled accompaniment automatically from chord progressions. In addition to supporting a database for storing and retrieving licks, it can generate new licks and full solos based on a user-modifiable grammar. Grammars can be learned from transcriptions. Music information is stored as open text files. Sound output is MIDI. Exports MIDI and MusicXML.
Impro-Visor runs on Windows XP/Vista, MacOSX, and Linux.
Impro-Visor is under development at H a r v e y M u d d C o l l e g e in California. The official home page for documentation is http://impro-visor.com/. Here is a tutorial and an example of a solo.
Download the latest release from Files>Software of this group, or from sourceforge.
Leadsheet files are available only in Files>Software, as leadsheets.zip. Expand it and replace leadsheets folder with the result.
Installation Notes:
- You must have installed Java 1.5 or later.
- If using MacOSx "Leopard", upgrade to version 10.5.5 first.
- Choose the installer applicable to your platform (Windows, MacOSX, or Linux).
- Install once, then use the launcher provided.
- If you have problems with the software, please post them here. The moderator, who is also the project director, will answer them on or off list, depending on their nature.
