Abstract

With the advent of recording and playback, the role of tools in the process of composing continues to grow its importance. Modern composing tools are not limited to the instant feedback of sound, but also have a great boost in visual aid. As for whether the future hardware and software can go beyond the physical level, for example, providing composers with psychological analysis etc., it is still a remaining question. But today’s tools have been able to provide strong support in composition, analysis, (improvisation) performance, notation, and education. We discuss some of these tools together with their impact on musical creativity. Hardware for music is increasingly powerful for storage and processing purposes. We discuss this vector for its role in musical productivity.
