COMPOSING CONTINUUM
Leading the Revolution in Music Composition
Opusmodus is an integrated environment for creating, transforming, analysing and notating music. Explore musical ideas through code, work with multiple compositional parameters and develop material from the first concept to a complete score.
INTEGRATED COMPOSITION ENVIRONMENT
Explore the Opusmodus Environment
Opusmodus brings musical notation, composition methods, analysis and programming together in a single creative environment. Composers can generate new material, transform existing ideas and control pitch, rhythm, harmony, dynamics, articulation and form with precision.
Algorithmic Composition
Generate and transform musical material using rule-based, generative, parametric and stochastic processes.

COMPOSITIONAL WORKFLOW
From Musical Idea to Complete Score
Opusmodus connects each stage of the compositional process, allowing musical ideas to move naturally between code, analysis, notation and performance.
Create
Begin with pitches, rhythms, chords, imported music or newly generated musical material.
Transform
Develop ideas using algorithms, rules, probabilities and operations that can control multiple musical parameters.
Analyse and Refine
Examine musical structures, compare results and adjust the material while maintaining precise control over the composition.
Notate and Perform
Convert the result into readable notation, hear it through playback and prepare the score for export or further development.
WHO OPUSMODUS IS FOR
Created for Musical Exploration
Opusmodus supports composers, educators and researchers who want to investigate musical structure and develop new approaches to composition.
Composers
Develop original musical material, explore complex compositional processes and move fluently between algorithms, notation and performance.
Educators and Students
Teach and study composition, musical structure and algorithmic thinking through practical examples that connect code with musical results.
Researchers
Analyse symbolic musical information, test compositional models and investigate questions in computational musicology and computer-aided composition.

COMPOSER AND EDUCATOR PERSPECTIVES
What Composers and Educators Say
Opusmodus is currently the most advanced software for computer-assisted composition available. It comes with the highest development potential to fulfil the aesthetical and technical requirements of contemporary composers. At the University Mozarteum Salzburg, Opusmodus is already part of compositional education and will be the preferred production environment in the future.

What truly amazed me was the usability and simplicity of Opusmodus and its all-in-one concept. Despite being a reasonably skilled Lisp coder, there is still so much to learn, and I find Opusmodus notation to be an incredibly powerful tool.
