Bol Processor is an open-source music composition and improvisation software that supports MIDI, MIDI files, and Csound, enabling real-time sound creation.
BP2 creates music based on a set of rules, or compositional grammar, that can be defined by the user. This grammar is very similar to the formal grammars used in the field of computer science to define machine-readable languages, making BP2 both powerful and intuitive.
With BP2, users can also input text scores that have been typed in or captured from a MIDI instrument as a basis for creating new music. This flexibility makes BP2 a fantastic tool for both experimental and traditional music composition.
Bol Processor has been successful at modeling music of many styles, including serial music, Western classical music, contemporary art music, minimalism, and Indian classical music. This versatility has made it a favorite among users across the globe.
In recognition of its innovative functionality, BP2 won the Bourges 1997 international award (ex aequo with Cecilia) in the category of computer-aided composition and realization software. Released under the BSD License, Bol Processor 2 is a top choice for music producers and composers who want to unleash their creativity with an intuitive and versatile software tool.
