User-created Songsmith videos
January 22nd, 2009
There is a lot that has been said about Microsoft’s ‘Songsmith’ software – or, to be specific, the promotional video that’s currently doing the rounds.
The idea of extracting key from a monophonic pitch sequence is interesting, but extrapolating chords from the determined key seems to be a little tricky. Here are some interesting examples provided by Songsmith users in the past week or so.
Van Halen: ‘Runnin’ With The Devil’
Marvin Gaye: ‘What’s Goin’ On’
The Beastie Boys: ‘Intergalactic’
Notorious B. I. G.: ‘Dead Wrong’
The Doobie Brothers: ‘Long Train Runnin”
…and many more.
