Impro-Visor Description
Impro-Visor is a software solution that provides musicians and music literate people in composing songs, as well as in opening, viewing and analyzing music sheets, recording from MIDI sources and playing audio tracks.
Easy-to-handle GUI
The installation process does not pose any kind of problems and only takes a few moments, while the interface you come across might seem a bit cluttered, especially for novice users. It consists of a menu bar, multiple buttons and a pane in which to view the uploaded files.
Aside from that, extensive and well-drawn Help contents are provided and thus all types of users can easily find their way around it.
Import and export capabilities and transpose tracks
First and foremost, you should know that this program enables you to open multiple tabs in the same time, while it also supports multiple instances. It is possible to create new music sheets from scratch, open LS files and import MID tracks, as well as save your projects to the hard drive using an LS or MID extension, and export chorus to a music XML.
You should know you can easily preview certain items before uploading them, so that you can make sure that you are using the desired item. You can load and save vocabulary files, transpose melodies up or down harmonically, transpose chords up or down a semitone and transpose both.
Use the incorporated mixer and other tools at your disposal
Playback controls are incorporated in the main window, enabling you to pause, play and stop audio tracks, go to the next chord and record input from MIDI source. The volume can be adjusted with ease, while you can also take advantage of a built-in mixer and tempo scroll bar.
Last but not least, there are multiple tools you can take advantage of, including an advising and voicing keyboard, leadsheet textual editor, lick generator and voicing editor.
Bottom line
To conclude, Impro-Visor is a pretty complex and useful piece of software when it comes to creating and analyzing music. The response time is good, the interface is quite minimal and the computer’s performance is not going to be affected. There are sufficient options to keep you busy and we did not come by any crashes or hangs in our tests.
