What is Serial Composer? What? - Serial Composer is an application which lets the user specify criteria and then searches for 12-tone-series that fulfill the criteria specified by user. What criteria? - Serial Composer can test series for their interval content, components, self-similarity, augmentation, loopability, diatonics and few other properties. Mac? - Yes. Serial Composer requires a PPC with a system modern enough to have Appearance Manager - and preferably a fast one, since there are up to 39916800 series to check. Who? - It is aimed at composers of modern classical music ("serial music"), who might find it useful is searching for series. Me? - Yes, you guessed it. I am a composer and I programmed Serial Composer for my self, but decided to make it freely distributable. All rights reserved, of course. How? - Serial Composer uses a simple recursion algorithm to wander through the series space and when it finds a suitable one it picks it up. Of course you can save (and open) what you've found.
