The COMPOSE ALL app feature creates a new melody and accompanying harmony from scratch. You can use this feature as fresh ideas generator and then tweak the melody.

The notes and chords are changed using the drop down menus for each note. You can choose to listen for both melody and harmony or only one of them using check boxes in app control menu.

If you want to auto compose some notes of melody just check them and press Compose Notes button. Then the notes will be composed for you.

How can you use it:

At app start wait for all sounds to load. It takes about 15 seconds.

2. Create melody rhythm by checking the checkboxes below the notes. Play rhythm and tweak it if needed.
3. Press COMPOSE NOTES button to generate the notes for selected rhythm.
4. Listen to melody repeatedly and tweak the notes manually or with the help of auto composer by leaving the notes targeted for change checked.
5. You can select note articulation (muted/accented) using drop down menu on the bottom of each note.

You can select:
- note length - 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32
