I play in a rock band, and we write all our own music.
In recent times the style of stuff we have been writing has become a little more 'prog-rock'
(ie: ' a diminished 11th here, a 3rd inversion of something weird there' - that type of thing!)
than the 'basic' rock format of "the chord progression is this"...
then largely improvising around those chords.
I have noticed that some cheap 'home-style' keyboards have a facility that
illustrates the notes you have played on a manuscript graphic on the screen.
Now I think, as to do this by hand would be time-consuming and, frankly boring!,
getting a computer program to do this for us would be useful.
I know that this sort of stuff is available, 'cos I've 'googled' it - but what I'm seeking here is advice
from anyone who has actually used one of these systems and can therefore recommend a particular program?
I'm not talking about orchestral works here - a relatively simple program should do it,
and I don't see the point of spending a fortune:
I could buy one of the aforementioned keyboards & play the stuff on that
if more than a small amount of cash was required.
Any suggestions gratefully recieved!
Thanks in advance,
John.
