Tritonkorg, welcome to the forum, this is a great place, and i am kinda confused as to why you think mac was attacking. I read the post carefully and it seemed to me several folks were trying to help, but you were dissatisfied with the answers. While we all understand what you want, the answers were right, at least as right as technology is today with this product. If you use a single note melody the chord possibilities are very vast. Sometimes when we are trying to get something done, or get an answer to a problem, it is frustrating when we do not get what we though we would.

Your illustration with Melodyne is a good one, however with a polyphonic wave file there are both melodic and harmonic notes involed, giving the program much more data to use. We might in 5 to 10 years have the technology you seek, but we don't as of now.

As far as the advertising you mentioned above, the program did exactly what it said, it generated a chord progression, you just happened not like it, but still it did it. Others suggested things to help, using other styles, adding a third, you did not want this. That is your choice, but to label anyone who attempted to help as "attacking" or any other name is kind of silly don't you think? I have knowN mac for a long time, and while he can be a bit salty at times, he is a true and honest guy. He has helped just about everyone here. One thing i have come to know about him is that he has a ton of knowledge, and he acquired it through years of research, hard work, and effort. So if he gives it to you straight then it would behove you to listen and take the advice. If you don't like it fine, that is your choice.

Oh and Beag, "Personally I'm not sure how that makes sense? how can anyone be first among equals?" Isn't that the same problem with the trinity doctrine?!?!? LOL Just kidding old Dog! Don't bite!!
