Meet Aimée, your AI assistant composer, ready to help you create amazing music effortlessly. Aimée: Originality You Can Trust. In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and creativity, concerns about originality and copyright are paramount. Aimée, the AI-powered assistant in YouCompose, stands out by ensuring that the music she helps you create is entirely original and free from copyright issues. Aimée Doesn't Steal! Aimée's AI isn't trained on existing musical data. Instead, she generates her own unique musical content. This innovation is achieved through the clever use of an expert system that combines music theory with advanced genetic algorithms. As a result, Aimée produces truly original compositions that are not based on or derived from existing works. At the heart of Aimée's originality is an expert system grounded in comprehensive musical theoretical data. This system provides Aimée with a deep understanding of music, enabling her to compose with creativity and precision. Whether you're crafting a symphony or a simple melody, Aimée applies her theoretical knowledge to ensure your music is harmonically rich and structurally sound. Aimée also leverages genetic algorithms, which allow her to evolve and refine musical ideas through a process akin to natural selection. By iteratively improving upon initial ideas, Aimée can explore a vast space of musical possibilities, generating compositions that are both innovative and musically coherent. This approach is crucial in addressing potential copyright infringements. By not relying on pre-existing musical data, Aimée ensures that the music you create with her assistance is genuinely yours. Why Originality Matters? In the realm of music composition, originality is not just a matter of artistic integrity but also a legal necessity. Copyright infringement can lead to significant legal challenges and financial liabilities. Aimée's ability to create original music provides peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your creative process without worrying about potential legal repercussions.

YouComposers who prefer to work with their own material will be pleased to find some great new features. In addition to 4 part harmonization they now can choose to have a solo melody or 2 or 3 part harmonization per segment. To speed up the composition process five new automatic harmonization point placing options were added and a ‘Smart’ setting for the ‘combine repeating notes’ setting. The ‘Undo’ and ‘Redo’ functionality is completely renewed and much easier to use. Producers will find tools that make it easy to export audio loops for use in other apps. A new audio export option ‘Export as loop’ and an adjustable output level makes live easier for them. Also, to make the composition of loops easier, new automatic harmonization point placing options were added that allow YouComposers to repeat a pattern of harmonization points of one, two or four bars. Renewed and extended ‘Composition info’ with Part and Segment info that can be exported as PDF will help production of audio in other apps when using YouCompose material. 3.8 12/07/2016 This update addresses playback issues on devices running iOS 10. 3.7.5 09/21/2016
