Test of a widely known automatic band software (version 2011, factory settings after installation on Win7):ġ. This test covers the standard use case of a melody arranger software. The program has to write a complete band arrangement without further assistance.

Import a naked MIDI-file of a song (you could also enter the melody manually). For example the shape of the bass line strives for contrary motion with respect to the melody to create an independent and satisfying bass part. The accompanying parts are adapted to fit the melody. This is based on artificial intelligence algorithms. Ludwig on the other hand writes parts note by note like a human composer would do. However in songwriting this creates problems because arrangement and melody do not fit together. This sounds great in demos because the recording is often done with real musicians. Most programs follow a simple concept: The accompaniment consists of pre-recorded patterns which are glued together in short building blocks. Ludwig is different from automatic band software you might know.
