Similarly, variations of a few percent in the loudness of a tone also has a marked effect on the emotional meaning of the performance. Dr. Clynes determined the Pulse for each composer whose music is included with SuperConductor. When you call up a piece on SuperConductor and play it before modifying it, it is played according to this given pulse, adjusted for that piece. Traditionally, it has been the task of the conductor and the performers to decide precisely how to guide the music so it flowed together meaningfully and beautifully. As light from a sunrise falls upon the Earth, certain areas are illuminated and others are shaded.
Every part is essential, and no two parts are identical.
Similarly, when interpreting a musical score, all of the bars and notes are essential, but they must all be played in different ways in order to convey the beauty of the music. They must all be there, but they must all be uniquely expressed. SuperConductor is the first computer program that can accomplish this level of interpretation. The middle and top levels of the Pulse allow you to decide at what moment of the sunrise you would like to see the landscape. Remarkably, when you make a change at any level of the Pulse, the composition is affected globally.
