Sib. 7.1.3: Pitch randomizer
Posted by Ben Jackson - 01 Feb 11:41AM
I was wondering if there is a way to randomize pitches, but so that it only uses certain ones (such as the blues scale)...?

Pls see Sib 713 pdf ref p 282, 280

You could use The Shuffle pitches plugin on the blues scale, and then use the others suggested below and others to create new rhythms also. Plugins under Note Input--Transformations are usually good for this sort of stuff.

"Shuffle Pitches
Rewrites the selection so that the existing pitches of the notes are randomly redistributed,
changing the melodic contour in random ways but without introducing new pitches.
Select a passage and choose Note Input > Transformations > More > Shuffle Pitches. The
passage is rewritten in place.

---

Rotate Rhythms
Rewrites the selection so that the durations of the notes are shifted to the right by one note (so the
duration of the last note becomes the duration of the first, the duration of the first note becomes
the duration of the second, and so on), without changing the pitches of the notes.
Select a passage and choose Note Input > Transformations > More > Rotate Rhythms. The
passage is rewritten in place.

Rotate Rhythms and Pitches
Rewrites the selection so that both the durations and pitches of notes in the selection are shifted to
the right by one note (so the last note of the selection becomes the first note, the first note becomes
the second note, and so on).
Select a passage and choose Note Input > Transformations > More > Rotate Rhythms and
Pitches. The passage is rewritten in place.

Retrograde Pitches
Rewrites the selection so that the order of pitches is reversed (so the last pitch becomes the first,
the penultimate pitch becomes the second, and so on) without changing the durations of the notes.
Select a passage and choose Note Input > Transformations > Retrograde Pitches. The passage is
rewritten in place.
Retrograde Rhythms
Rewrites the selection so that the order of rhythms is reversed (so the duration of the last note
becomes the duration of the first, and so on) without changing the pitches of the notes.
Select a passage and choose Note Input > Transformations > Retrograde Rhythms. The passage
is rewritten in place.

Retrograde Rhythms and Pitches
Rewrites the selection so that both the order of pitches and rhythms is reversed.
Select a passage and choose Note Input > Transformations > Retrograde Rhythms and
Pitches. The passage is rewritten in place."

Thanks Bob

You could also try the Apply Series Plugin

http://www.sibelius.com/download/plugins/index.html?plugin=467

"This plugin is principally designed to help with serial composition but it can be used for other purposes, including mapping the rhythm of one stave to as set of pitches contained in another."

So using the blues scale, you can create rhythms, and match it to that scale. and then Shuffle Pitches..etc etc..

Thanks Bob
