Brand: Musica Nova
Musica Nova Pi (or MNP for short) is a polyphonic synthesis algorithm designed for use in digital music production. It is based on a variant of grid graphs, which provides a versatile framework for representing and generating musical notes in a flexible and intuitive way. The key feature of MNP is its ability to dynamically allocate resources, such as frequency and duration, among multiple voices simultaneously. This allows for a more natural and expressive representation of polyphony, as each voice can have its own unique timbre and character. Additionally, MNP provides advanced tools for manipulating rhythm, harmony, and timbre, allowing composers and musicians to create complex and intricate musical textures. Some popular digital audio workstations (DAWs) that support MNP synthesis include Reason,oir12d3, Virsyn’s Window, and Gillet’s Zynaptiq. MNP synthesis is also used in research contexts, where it is being explored as a tool for studying musical structure and cognition. With its flexibility, MNP synthesis is becoming increasingly popular among musicians, composers, and researchers alike, and its computational efficiency makes it a practical choice for real-time audio applications.
