This led to his extensive work in trying to unify MIDI and traditional music notations into a new and integrated language for musicians. In the 1980s, Vice President and Lead Inventor at WaveDNA, David Beckford worked with The University of Toronto’s music cognition lab to study how musicians visualize and conceptualize music. The Randomizer will populate a selected portion of the Arranger with a random rhythm created within user-set parameters. The GrooveMover changes the arrangement of notes in the bar and the BeatForm Tumblers increases the complexity of a rhythm selection. The Accent Modifiers set the MIDI velocity and timing based on the BeatForm accent color as well as give users the ability set a range to “humanize” velocity and timing.

The other BarForm creation tool is the BeatWeaver, wherein the user chooses a series of BeatForms and the BeatWeaver creates every possible combination that can be weaved into a BarForm. Below the BarForm List is the BeatForm Sequencer, a grid that allows users to insert different BeatForms into each of the eight sections in the selected BarForm. Liquid Rhythm populates the BarForm List with commonly occurring BarForms for the chosen instrument and includes a number of filters to refine the selection.
DYNAMICS LIQUID RHYTHM SOFTWARE
There are a number of features in the software for the formulation of entire BarForms as well as for editing minuscule details of the rhythms. Users can import custom sample libraries as well. There are a wide selection of genre-based sounds, ranging from Acoustic to Techno, within the program. Users begin by selecting an instrument and dragging it onto a slot in the Arranger. Liquid Rhythm’s main ‘view’ is the Arranger window, where users can create and edit BarForms and BeatForms. The Music Molecule engine is patented in both the USA and Canada. By grouping these notes into modular containers, the Music Molecule provides structure to raw MIDI and captures the relationships between notes.
BarForms are groups of BeatForms that are one bar in length.
BeatForms are one 8th note long with the number of note events indicated by the colour of the BeatForm: red BeatForms contain three note events, blue BeatForms contain two note events, and purple BeatForms contain one. Liquid Rhythm is based on WaveDNA’s patented Music Molecule technology, which visualizes notes and rests in BeatForms. Liquid Rhythm operates as a standalone program for macOS and Windows, and as a DAW plug-in in the Max for Live, VST, AU, and RTAS formats. The software’s core technology, the Music Molecule, visualizes patterns and relationships between MIDI notes and allows users to create and edit note clusters and patterns rather than individual notes. Liquid Rhythm is a beat sequencing and rhythm generation software developed by WaveDNA and initially released in 2010. Java_(programming_language), Max_(software), C++
