Chapter 5 Composition Software [Collect!] 】
The Ice Master is called the Ice Master, and maybe he really is a master. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But no, Le Zhengjun thinks so. Because Le Zhengjun read 90% of this book, he felt that it was useless. It's all about some very general theories, such as "pop music is to be catchy", "pop music is to make the listener have a sense of substitution", and so on.
It wasn't until the last few chapters of the book that Le Zhengjun found something useful.
Use of composing software!
Le Zhengjun has heard of it a long time ago, what age is this, who still holds a pen, draws staves, and dotted tunes one note at a time? Who is not used as a music software, there are various staff staffs on it, staves and percussion notation, just need to use the mouse to click and click!
Just like these days, who still uses a pen to write a book? Don't you all use computers?
Except for those...... Someone with feelings like me!
Le Zhengjun thought so. In the past, all his homework in school was written by hand, and because of this, he practiced very beautiful notes, which was praised by the teacher.
Le Zhengjun took a look, the composition software talked about in this book, the interface looks very old, and it can be seen in the background that the computer system used is still windows2000! He turned to the last page and found that the book was actually published in 2001! How many years have passed, who will use this kind of composition software!
Le Zhengjun threw the book away angrily and turned on the fruit computer.
While eating instant noodles, I looked at the desktop of the computer.
Hey? What are these software? An icon, with a purple background, on top of a white treble clef, a white circle on the outside, and the name below that reads "Sibelius", Sibelius? Isn't this a great Finnish composer? Could it be that this great composer has switched to developing software? Just kidding! Sibelius was a man of the 19th century!
Le Zhengjun clicked on it, and the software on the desktop showed that it was loading......
Then, a symphony burst out of the stereo, it was Sibelius's famous song "Ode to Finland", and the co-authoring software also came with a boot BGM?
After the background music, what appears on the screen is: Quick Start - New Score.
Here are a few options for different staffs. Le Zhengjun saw that the score version here is really very rich, with all kinds of Latin, pop, jazz, chamber music, military music, and symphony score versions, and even the score version of the "Orff instrument" that few Chinese people know.
Le Zhengjun casually chose a "piano solo" score, after clicking, he entered the beatmap preset interface, and he wanted to select the tonality of the score, the beat, the name of the song, the composer, etc., Le Zhengjun filled in casually, and officially entered the main interface. It's good to have a music version, it's convenient.
Le Zhengjun saw a small box on the right, which contained all kinds of notes, and he took the mouse a little, and the mouse became the shape of the notes. He then moved his mouse over the blank staff.
"Didi Di Di", he used the mouse to click wildly, every time he clicked, the notes would be printed on the blank staff, not only automatically adjusted the height of the notes, the direction of the tail of the notes, and automatically arranged the layout, but also accurately issued the pitch of the note pointed by Le Zhengjun.
After clicking for a while, Le Zhengjun saw that a full page was filled by himself, his eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was a "play" option at the top of the software, so he clicked it.
Immediately, there was a sound of "ding ding dong" in the stereo, and it was completely played automatically according to the score pointed out by Le Zhengjun, but the sound of the performance was very ugly, and the effect of the performance was also very sluggish.
Le Zhengjun suddenly remembered, took the book of "Pop Music Composition Express" that was thrown away, turned to the last few pages, and listened to the sound while reading the book.
"That's what the book says, the first level of the MIDI standard system?" Le Zhengjun said, "This voice is the voice of the standard GM?" Sounds pretty stupid. ”
Le Zhengjun thought so, but he couldn't stop at all. He held the mouse, pressed east and west, what was this button for? What does that feature do?
In this way, he played for a night, and actually succeeded in typing a song "Little Star" on the software, and then he clicked the play button, and the standard GM timbre sounded stiffly, but Le Zhengjun was so happy that he even sang in a low voice: "Twinkle and twinkle!" The sky is full of little stars......"
"Congratulations," the voice of the Lesheng Growth System suddenly sounded, startling Le Zhengjun, "You have mastered the basic usage of the software. Sibelius is an internationally accepted and popular composition software on the market, with powerful features and rich content, you have already taken the first step on the road to composing. ”
"Hey, what's the use of this congratulations," Le Zhengjun said, "It's better to have some real rewards." ”
"Rewards will be distributed after you complete the mission, please do your best."
Work hard for your size, I ate steamed bread instant noodles today, not because of you. Le Zhengjun saw that it was already one o'clock in the evening, so he turned off the computer, left the studio, and went to bed.
This bed can be put away when not in use, which is extremely convenient. Le Zhengjun lay on the soft big bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
The large window of the living room is not closed, and there are still faint lights in the middle of the night in Yanjing City outside the window. Le Zhengjun looked at the ceiling, looked out the window, turned over and over, and felt a little troubled in his heart.
After waiting for more than an hour, he realized a problem, he had insomnia!
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep at all. The experience of the past few days really made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Le Zhengjun scolded secretly, even if he was unlucky, he didn't let me sleep, he immediately sat up, and after being in a daze on the bed for a few seconds, he walked into the music room again and closed the door.
Le Zhengjun rummaged through the music room, but didn't find any CD, why is there no music to spend this sleepless night?
He sat down on the piano bench, and when he saw the piano, he suddenly opened the lid of the piano and pressed a few notes on it.
The sound is crisp and bright, very full, worthy of Steinway, even his cheapest product, which has such a good tone.
He suddenly wanted to play a song, but it suddenly occurred to him that it was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, and at this time, he might have to be brought to the door by a neighbor with a kitchen knife.
Just when he was thinking this, the voice of the system sounded again: "Don't worry, the host, this studio uses ultra-new technology sound insulation and sound-absorbing sponge, and the sound interception rate is as high as 99.9%. ”
Super new technology? Indeed, the sound intercepts the material with a reflection of 99%, Le Zhengjun has never heard of it, and if there is, it must be used in major theaters around the world. Super new technology? I think it's black technology!
With the guarantee of the system, Le Zhengjun sat down in front of the piano with confidence, raised his hand slightly, and played one song after another.
Chopin's "Nocturne in C minor", posthumous work, Chopin wrote two "Nocturnes in C minor" in his lifetime, this is an unpublished work during his lifetime, unnumbered, it is generally considered to be Chopin's twenty-first nocturne, the structure of this piece is very strange, the bright part of the middle section is very short, and the gloomy minor key at both ends occupies more than 90% of the music. The meaning of the whole piece is very unclear, full of an indescribable melancholy and mystery.
After playing this piece, Le Zhengjun played a few works of masters one after another. However, after playing, Le Zhengjun didn't feel that he was in a better mood, and seemed to be even more depressed.
He sat in front of the piano and froze, and suddenly, the misery of the past few days came to him, and he felt as if his heart was trembling in an indescribable state.
He slowly raised his hand and slowly pressed a few notes on the piano.
Slowly, the notes flowed like a river of sorrow, and a tune that even Le Zhengjun himself had never heard was quietly chanted.
