HighC Symphonic Sketch I

An one-day composition with HighC by using low quality symphonic instruments samples.

By using low quality samples and the design features of HighC, I skecthed this little symphonic part, harder to test the program itself. The result surpassed my expectations. Particularly I was impressed with the behavior of samples in the design environment. Although I used only one pitch-sample for each instrument, the acoustic effect, as managed in the whole area of each organ, was more than satisfactory. The HighC proved a great tool for a quick exploration of form and instrumentation of action. Also, the "printing" of a musical phrase, and whole movement noise volumes in terms of design, that allows microtonal searches be conducted with ease.

@BarbarousBard First you must have the professional edition, to have the possibility "insert wav" (file menu). Then you must insert as wave file a sample of an instrument (I inserted only one sample for each instrument - it' s ok). Then Any inserted wave file you may use it as waveform combined with several envelops.

How do you import your own orchestral sounds into HighC?

Dear friend thanks a lot for your interest.

I was also impressed with the facility of HighC to administer poor instruments samples. Think that each instrument sample that I used is keep to a single pitch – for example I used for flute sound only the C5 sample. HighC platform is very friendly, and the effect is unexpectedly “high”. So, the most of the "glory" of my composition belongs to the HighC constructor-programmer Thomas Baudel.

I'm very impressed with the way the samples managed to sound as they were pitched up and down. The sound is surprisingly organic and invokes a lot of amazing tension. Fantastic work!
