2015 | iOS | 249 MB
YouCompose is a compositional tool that all iPad and iPhone musicians should have. With it you can accomplish complex compositional tasks with ease. It's also great fun to just play with this App.

YouCompose comes with a powerful built-in assistant composer. She can help you compose your music in many ways.

The basic idea is that you enter a melody, or several melodies and your assistant composer then finishes your composition, doing all the hard work that normally takes hours, but now is done in seconds.

Apart from being a great compositional tool, YouCompose is of great educational value as well. We are certain that YouCompose can be an asset to harmony, composition and orchestration classes.
Built-in instruments:

Over 75 instruments are included with high quality sounds. You'll find all regular orchestral instruments, keyboards, organs, guitars, basses, chorus, percussion and more.
With over 40 preset ensembles you can quickly setup YouCompose for ensembles like a saxophone quartet, string quartet or orchestra, woodwinds or brass sections and much more.

Creating and editing:

You create melodies using the built-in virtual keyboard or a MIDI keyboard, by entering single notes in a grid editor, by importing a melody from a MIDI file or by asking your assistant to make one for you. Your assistant composer will then harmonize these melodies in a classical 4 part harmony style using the rules from the ‘common practice period’ and will take into account the instruments you selected.
A composition can be edited in many ways. YouCompose allows you to copy, paste, move, repeat and discard movements, segments and individual notes.
You can ask your assistant to compose a complete 3 or 4 movement symphony for your ensemble all by herself, or let her add a new movement to an existing one.
You can control the way she harmonizes your melodies, by setting Harmonization Points and other options, or you can also leave that completely to her.
Special tools allow you to enter lyrics, apply melodic transformations or create dynamic effects.
