Palette Melody Composing Tool is software that helps when composing melodies.
The program uses the theory of composition and the theory of harmony. It
operates by helping the composer to develop phrases, sentences, periods and
motives. The methods of motive development include sequence, variation, motive
inversion, repetition, extraction and new rhythm etc. All these terms are
described in the Theory chapter of the program manual. The chapter describes the
basics of harmony and composition theory. The program understands logic of
functional motion and voice-leading rules and allows the composer to easily
create the correct harmonic progressions. The program keeps the music within the
limits of harmony and composition theory. It guarantees a properly constructed
melody and backing. The full version of the program can export the created
melody to a *.mid (midi) file consisting of three tracks: melody, chords and
bass part. Any midi sequencer or style arranger can import these files to create
a complete tune. The 'Export to *.mid' option is disabled in the trial version -
you must Register the program to enable this option.
