OMN Lingo

Hi everybody, how can I extract specific measures from voices in a score and merge them to a new voice. Thanks for help. Achim

Hi, how could I automatically split chords for a further piano notation? Achim

Hi everyone, this one should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out yet. I am trying to notate this (see attachment) first bar in OM. So far I have this: (h e3c4g4e5 f3f4a4d5 z^q g4 f4 h g3d4b4 c3c4e4c5 ) Which doesn't work yet, although it's close. Additionally, I would love to use the same figured bass notation (with the brackets and everything). I know how to use the text attribute for Instruments but it seems to map everything based on white-space between the text, maybe I'm missing something? Thanks! - Jor

Dear Friends, In a previous post (link below) there is a great description on how to configure old vsl gig versions. There is a place where you can configure the relation between the OMN articulation command with the correspondent keyswitch. QUESTIONS: 1) Let´s say I invent a new articulation in a custom sample library, for example "nail-scrape" for indicating the violin player to scrape the string with his/her nail. In this case, I need this OMN expression to: a) apear in the score notation and b) change the corresponding keyswitch. 2) In the case of the OMN expression "long", I configured it to change to the crescend…

dear janusz at the moment i'm working with AUDULUS 3 and OPMO, work's fine. but there are some problems with the articulation. is it possible that in ord. there is a little "overlapping" between two notes? in this case AUDULUS don't "recognize" a change of velocity etc... with stacc it works fine (but with a gap). is there a "non-overlapping"-articulation with almost no gap between the notes? thanks andré

dear all does anyone have experience with an implementation of LISP in maxmsp? i'm looking for: "Max handling real time input, output, timing and control, letting Lisp handle variable handling and of course the processing of large amounts of data" Cycling '74 CYCLING74.COM Tools for sound, graphics, and interactivity does anyone tested this? thealexgraham/lisper GITHUB.COM Lisper is an easy to use interface between Max/MSP and Common Lisp - thealexgraham/lisper thanx for a hint andré

Hi everyone, For the past two days I've been messing around with SuperCollider and OM. I want to be able to write my score in OMN format and send it via OSC to SuperCollider. So far I have this in OM: (defparameter to-sc '(127.0.0.1 57120)) (setf thd1 (create-osc-thread "thread1" to-sc)) (send-osc-data thd1 '( (12 1/2) (2 1/2) (0 1/2) (3 1/2) (14 1/2) (2 1/2) (0 1/2) (3 1/2) (8 1/2) (2 1/2) (0 1/2) (3 1/2) (7 1/2) (2 1/2) (0 1/2) (3 1/2) )) And this in SuperCollider (OSCdef.new( \toggle, { arg msg, time, addr, port; [msg, time, addr, …

dear all is there a quick way to import (or filter) only pitches and chords from a midi-file? if i only use these (nothing else from midi/xml) thanx for a hint andré

Hello, I'm making a presentation on 12-tone composition in an educational context. While my focus is on a 12-tone map (including OMN and OpusModus code) I want to begin with some more simple examples e.g. a Canon, a Fugue, first second and third species counterpoint. While I can create a canon, counterpoint and a fugue myself with a bit of time, it would be much less time-consuming for me if I were able to use existing examples. Is there an existing library of OMN examples of these types of compositions? If not, I'm happy to post mine once I'm done. Tom

Some attributes are sticky (they do not need to be repeated to maintain being set, and when they are repeated they are not shown again in the score) -- while others are not. For example, the articulation pizz is sticky, while stacc is not. It seems that add-text-attributes declares only sticky attributes. Is it perhaps possible to also have custom non-sticky attributes? For example, want to annotate certain motif or phrase names, and if I repeat the same motif the text label is not shown again. Just in case this is already possible... Thank you! Best, Torsten

Hi Everyone, This should be an easy one, yet I can't seem to figure it out: How do I remove double notes from a chord? I'm starting with this: (setf chords '(gs3gs4ds5ds5 ab3ab3ab3gs4)) And I would like the output to be this: '(gs3gs4ds5 ab3gs4) Thanks!

dear all is there a possibility to change the PAN in every EVENT? 1) like '((q c4 mp pan-30) (e c3 pp pan100)) would be interesting for LIVE-CODING is there something predifined? like it will come up with microtonality/tuning 2) and why does it work with simple-midi-sound (a list in :pan) and not with a player like conTimbre (there is something i don't understand with midi/players/etc)? thanx for a hint andré an example: (setf omn '((5q c4 5q 5q 5q 5q 5q 5q 5q) (-q) (e e e e e) (-q) (7q 7q) (3q 3q) (-q) (5q…

I am working on a new omn symbol VOICES and wonder which way is more natural to write. I would like to hear your comments and ideas on this. Here are the two examples.

Hi, I am getting back to Opusmodus after a long time. I am excited about the support for OSC in this new release. I have two questions: 1) Normally when we use OSC to send to a destination, we use an "address" like "/a/b/c". A device that has this destination "address" is expected to receive the message and act on it. How and where do we specify that address in "osc-thread" function. Just to give an example, a couple of years ago, I had written an article on how to control Reaktor using OSC. If I want to do something similar using OM, what is the procedure? 2) There could be occasions where I want to ping the destination at regular intervals. Ho…

Since the tempo slot in DefScore only takes integers, what would be the best way to get a more natural playback tempo? I'm using this method now but it doesn't sound very smooth. (setf tempo-4 (make-tempo (vector-round 58 61 (gen-white-noise 12)) left :type :length)) ;Left is the output of an assemble-seq I've also tried things like this: (setf tempo-2 '(("Mixed Tempi" q :accel 60 62 1/32 2) ("Mixed Tempi" q :accel 62 60 1/32 2) (:rit 60 64 1/32 12))) But most of it sounds either too intentional or too clunky, I just want the tempo to very slightly meander. Thanks in advance for the advice!

So today I finally got my licence for OM, and I'm extremely happy with it! I am really looking forward to control my OpenGL libraries and SuperCollider via OSC but I've been having some troubles trying to figure out how to set it up. I did find the OSC folder in the "third-party" party directory inside the OM App but other than that there doesn't seem to be any documentation. My main question is, what do I need to do in order to get OSC running? I thought I wouldn't need the OSC packages because they're already inside the App but OM doesn't recognise the "sb-bsd-sockets", or any other imports for that matter. The supplied Readme file says I need to: …

Hello, Simple question: 1) How to specify in the articulation list for no displaying any articulation in the note without using "ord" ? 2) Is there some reset to "normal" articulation (without symbols) ? Best, Julio

Hi, Forgive me for these simple questions, but I'm curious to know what's the best way to display all the libraries I have? For example, I'm now trying to build new libraries that includes ambituses of custom-built instruments I will use, rhythmic patterns I am developing, and modes/scales I will be using. I have the following questions: 1. I'm trying to understand the difference between library, def-library, and create-library. I am particularly interested in better understanding def-library and create-library. Are the two functions very different? 2. If I want to see all my rhythm libraries, for example, how can I see …

Dear Friends, I'm setting some 12-tone examples for classroom. I just want to show some rows with motives, in the example below. I'd like to force this omn expression to make a snippet in 4/4 only or 2/4, without having to use def score. Is it possible ? It's easier for faster classroom purposes. Best, Julio (setf clodorow '(a4 gs5 c5 d5 bb4 b4 fs5 f5 cs5 g5 ds5 e5)) (setf serierit '(q.. s -s s s s -s e._q -s s -s s_q)) (make-omn :length serierit :pitch clodorow :velocity '(pp sfz p < f pp mf mf mp mp) :length-symbols t) It's genarating a 7/4 snippet. I would prefer it in 2/4 or 4/4... Any…

Hi I'm very new user of Opusmodus and would like to know how to write and play swing eights (2 eights means one quater and one eight tupplet) thanks

I am interested in controlling musical textures, i.e., relations between polyphonic parts. I defined a bunch of functions that use the simple polyphonic music representation used also by my function preview-score that I presented shortly (see https://opusmodus.com/forums/topic/902-polyphonic-preview/#comment-2686). Apologies that this post is a bit longer. Here is a particularly flexible function: map-parts transforms a polyphonic score. It is a variant of the standard Lisp function mapcar, where a function is applied to every part in a score, but each instrument/part can be given its own function arguments for the transformation. One argument is the respecti…
