NTONYX, the innovator and leading developer of software based on Performance
Modeling technology now announces Style Enhancer 2.1 (SE2.1), new stand-alone
software for MIDI-song enhancing and creation of expressive music. This new
product is the result of further development of the unique NTONYX technology
which allows you to introduce into a MIDI-sequence live sounding music. With the
help of special rules SE2.1 analyzes MIDI-sequences, inserts into them and
changes controller commands such as Tempo, Start Time, Velocity, Volume, Pitch
Wheel, Expression and others. The result of the transformation is either
simulation of a live musician playing a real instrument, or attaining a new
unreal, but very interesting from a musical point of view, character to the
performance. Now it is an easy to use, fast and effective real-time MIDI-tool
accessible to all electronic musicians. It gives the composer and arranger
previously unaccessable, unique and unlimited features for music creation.
SE2.1 Features
MODELER - basic SE2.1 tool allows transformation of the selected part by a
Style in real time "on-the-fly".
- The choice of Styles is carried out with the help of Style Explorer. The
Styles are incorporated in groups and are in folders with the appropriate names.
- Convenient Transformation Regulators panel, which allows you to easily
achieve a vast number of performance variants and to adjust the nuances of the
song.
- A Style Library with 30 powerful Styles-algorithms for MIDI data transforming
and covering the playing of a wide range of musical instruments in different
musical manners.
- Combined modes of transformation which allows mixing influences produced by
hand with the help of Wheels, Joystick or with special MIDI-controllers
(Velocity, Modulation, Pitch, Breath etc.) and influences calculated by the
software.
- Extended number of parameters of transformation: Tempo, Start Time, Velocity,
Expression, Volume, Breath, Wheel, Modulation and Panning.
- Auto Optimization function provides a filter of the MIDI-events in the
fragment to be transformed.
- Auto-analyzer section, provides the user information about a MIDI fragment
selected for transformation and allows you to compare the data of selected
material with Style Requirement, to better choose a Style and to execute a
transformation.
ADJUSTER is a very effective tool for final adjusting of the parameters
values. It allows you to change and adjust various parameters of a fragment,
track or complete song with the purpose of receiving new values in real time.
FILTER is intended for deleting events in a chosen fragment and also for
assigning of a constant value of the parameters of events.
QUANTIZER allows you to adjust the start time and duration of selected notes
so that they line up with a fixed size of a time grid in real time.
Convenient feature of PARAMETERS VIEW - all basic parameters Tempo, Velocity,
Expression *, Wheel, Modulation and Panning are displayed by different colours
and can be seen simultaneously (on the same field) in Measure and Controllers
pane.
Wide ZOOM OPPORTUNITIES of double coordinate Zoom
NOTES and CONTROLLERS EDITING allows you to manually insert and delete notes
and controllers, to change Start Time, Pitch, Duration or Velocity, also to
change meanings of parameters Expression*, Modulation, Panning, Wheel and Tempo.
CUSTOM SCREEN LAYOUTS allows set up of a screen arrangement that is
convenient for user and which will remain constant with subsequent startup of
the program.
Additional SE2.1 Styles Sets
Style Enhancer 2.1 includes a Library of 30 Styles. However, up until September
1999, a total of more than 150 Styles have been developed. Now, a very complete
collection of Styles serving to simulate both real instruments and unreal
musical manners are available to the user in sets of 30.

About NTONYX
Established in 1984, NTONYX went a long way from a research lab and a team of
computer music enthusiasts to a producer of internationally popular software and
a strategic partner of Cakewalk. Our experts have managed to develop original
unique technologies for musical performance modeling and morphing on the basis
of intellectual analysis and transformation of MIDI data. NTONYX is in a
continuous search for new solutions in this direction, regularly expanding the
library of modeling algorithms and constantly finding for themselves new spheres
of interest - such as development of voice banks and tools for audio
technologies.
