Hollywood Scoring Tools

Replace instruments

Every Score runs ten instrument slots, five on screen at a time. Click an instrument to open the Instrument Browser and swap in any of the 164 instruments the engine draws on.

Change articulations

There is no articulation switch to hunt for. Articulation is chosen by the instrument in the slot: High Strings Sustain, High Strings Staccato and High Strings Pizzicato are separate instruments, so changing articulation is a single swap.

Add new layers

Each slot is its own channel strip, with volume, pan, octave, reverb send, solo and mute. Its Min and Max handles set how quiet and how loud the slot gets as you ride the mod wheel, so one gesture takes the whole Score from intimate to full.

Edit effects

Click a slot's FX button to open its Sound Module: Attack and Release, a 3-band parametric EQ, and three Insert FX slots, each drawing on 21 effect types in six categories.

Global FX

The Global FX button opens the reverb every slot sends to. Choose Convolution, the sound of real recorded spaces, or Algorithmic, a space you can size, then start from one of its presets.

Save unlimited scores

Swap instruments, rebalance the mix and rewrite the patterns, then click Save in the Score Bar. Your arrangement becomes a User Score that sits alongside the factory Scores in the browser.

Animate every slot

Each of the ten slots runs its own arpeggiator, and its strip shows the pattern it plays. Click a slot to open its editor for note order, rate, velocities and custom sequences.

Section keyswitches

Every Score is really four arrangements in one. Press one of the five blue keys to easily move between the separately arranged Intro, Main A, Main B, or Outro sections. C1-F1 swap sections respectively while G1 acts as an ending, stopping the arrangement on a final chord. You can also octave-displace the keyswitches in the Settings.

—

The Keyswitch Selector under the mod wheel names the section currently playing. Click it to choose one directly, without touching a key.

Copy a section

Copy a section's patterns across all ten slots and paste them into another: the quick way to build Main B from Main A, then vary it.

Set the feel

Choose the time signature, a pattern length of one, two or four bars, and half-time, normal or double-time playback.

Drag it into your DAW

Play, then drag the MIDI tile onto a track. The performance lands as a multitrack MIDI file, one track per slot, each named for its instrument.
