New audio workstation Reflector aids composers with harmonic retrieval

Researchers have developed Reflector, an interactive audio workstation designed to assist composers by identifying harmonically compatible musical material. The system adapts its retrieval capabilities as arrangements evolve, tracking accumulating harmonic combinations on a composer's timeline. Reflector utilizes a fixed interval-class oracle and an encoder trained on synthetic audio to approximate compatibility scores efficiently, running entirely locally without copyrighted training data. AI

    Reflector: Arrangement-Aware Harmonic Retrieval for Sample-Based Composition

    arXiv:2607.22413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sample retrieval tools can help composers find harmonically compatible material, but querying from a fixed reference sample becomes less informative as arrangements evolve and the harmonic context shifts with each musical decision…
