What it does
The Chord Splitting plug-in creates a new
staff or staves containing subsets of the original chord, each a whole
note in duration. These subsets are based on harmonic targets that were
implicitly contained inside the original chord. This plug-in was designed
to be a composition/orchestration utility capable of automatically generating
several simplified subsets of a more complex chord.
- Find the __ first splits. The Chord
Splitting plug-in has the capacity to split the chord several times at
once. The results will display the split containing the smallest number
of subsets first, and then a new staff for each succeeding subset.
- Add
the Virtual Fundamental. Check this option to add a staff containing
the virtual fundamental beneath each staff of subsets. For a definition
of the Virtual Fundamental, see Virtual
Fundamental Generator plug-in.
- Virtual
Fundamental Parameters. Use this section to modify the parameters
of the virtual fundamental. This functions the same as the Virtual
Fundamental Generator plug-in.
