Extremely Flexible Generation of
Modern, Hip Arrangements! |
|
To create a new song with Onyx, simply type in or select chords
from the list (up to 100 chord types and 1/8 note steps) or load in a
premade progression. Then, choose one or more Onyx Orchestrator Styles
(OOStyle) you wish to use in your song, and press Play. You can use as
many OOStyles per song as you want - they will all sound perfect in every
Chord, Key, Scale and Meter. You can even drag an instrument/clip of one
OOStyle to the zone of another OOStyle. When placed into a song, an
OOStyle becomes an independent object which will be morphed according to
your song's chord progression. For each OOStyle track you create you can
easily change the positions of initial pattern measures and fill inserts,
alter Chord/Scale steps, Patch, Bank, Velocity, Pan, and more. And when
you have your arrangement the way you want it, Onyx will breathe life into
plain MIDI with its real-time MIDI FX chain, including the Data Humanizing
Modeler. |

Easily Convert a MIDI File to an
Onyx Orchestrator Style! |
|
An OOStyle containing up to 10 tracks and 16 measure length can be easily
created from any MIDI file or from your own real-time MIDI recordings,
even if the MIDI data has Meter and Tempo changes, complex rhythmic and
harmony structure, etc. Every style created with Onyx preserves ALL of
your performance nuances - Velocity accents, Pitch Bend, Expression, Pan
and other controllers, as well as Tempo and Meter changes. Using the
program's Style Maker Assistant you can create music without editing any
of the source MIDI data. All notes can be morphed according to your song's
harmony and meter, even if the initial pattern contains a simple harmony
like a single Am chord with whole notes, of if your progression includes
frequent chord changes (such as a jazz ditty) with 1/8 note steps. In
short, Onyx creates "More Music Out of Music" thanks to its Musical Object
Morphing technology!

Smart Fusion of Arranger and
Traditional MIDI-Sequencer! |
|
When using a software arranging tool for music creation, wouldn't you like
to have a convenient yet complete visualization of all the MIDI data with
conventional Piano-Rolls, Controller Views, Event Lists, Volume, Pan
envelopes editing, etc. ? Similarly, when you use a traditional
MIDI-sequencer, wouldn't you like to have functions similar to a visual
arranger program in addition to powerful MIDI editing? Is it possible to
combine them? Yes, it is. Onyx is a smart fusion of this concept: a
full-featured arranger PLUS all the features normally found in a
traditional MIDI-sequencer. With excellent multi-object visualization of
all events, markers and processes in real-time for both raw and processed
data, the emphasis in Onyx is also placed on non-destructive data
transformation. Once you break free from the notion of tedious "note by
note" editing and see how easy it is to simultaneously change parameters
of lots of events with total visual representation of the whole real-time
process, you'll be hooked. Onyx includes everything necessary for
effective studio work using hardware and software synths, allowing you
complete control of the creative process.

Intelligent Multimode Harmonizer |
|
You can make a great sounding song for that melody bouncing
around in your head in seconds with the Onyx Harmonizer! Harmony is like
clothing; a wrapper for a melody. It can change the character of a tune in
the most beautiful ways. It can decorate, hide and highlight, breathe in
new colors, new textures, and different moods into the same tune. For this
reason, the Onyx Harmonizer can automatically recognize the Key and Scale
of any melody (and any key changes), and find several appropriate high
quality chord progressions for your melody in a number of different styles
(Pop, Jazz, Folk, Classic, Gypsy, etc.) and moods. You can then change the
scale, harmonization style, number of available chords, and tweak
parameters to your heart's content!

Advanced Chord / Scale System |
|
The Onyx arranging system includes more than 100 chord types
and their inversions sorted into convenient groups: Associated Chords,
Inversions of Associated Chords, Limited set Chords, Any Chords. This
system also automatically indicates the appropriateness of an inserted
chord to the current Key/Scale while taking on five basic scale tonalities
- Minor, Major, Blues Minor, Blues Major, Gypsy (up to 14 internal scales
can be specified using an ADVANCED scale setting). If you want to use
simple chords - it's easy! If you want to use complex jazz or classical
chords - no problem! If you want to use hip, modern, alternative, even
crazy chords like C,C#,D and F#,G,G# notes sounding together - then this
is the software for you! Key/Scale/Chord transposition of selected parts
of a progression, two modes of chord writing - this is the
arranger/sequencer solution you have been waiting for!

Powerful Real-Time MIDI FX Set
with the Unique Modeler |
|
The Onyx real-time MIDI FX set includes AutoPhraser, Controller
Adjuster, Drum Adjuster, Event Filter, Quantizer and the unique Performance Modeler. You can build FX chains using any number of FXs in
any sequence. Moreover, chains with FX settings can be saved for instant
recall, so you will quickly accumulate and never lose your favorite
flavour of data transformation. Try the Onyx MIDI processing tools and you
will be surprised at how lifelike your keyboards, synthesizers, and GM/GS/XG
MIDI modules can sound!
|
|
Large OOStyle / PMStyle Sets
Included! |
|
The Onyx Orchestrator Style library includes more than 500 rich internal
data styles, created by industry professionals and based on
internationally acclaimed music. All OOStyles include the actual name of
the popular song they were inspired by, so when you choose a style you
will always know exactly how the style can be used. You won't see style
names like "Bossa" or "Ballad" in Onyx, you'll see names like "Sting's
Fields of Gold", or "D.Stewart & C.Dulfer's Lily Was Here."
