Suggestions & Ideas

Opusmodus already comes with a number of convenient shortcuts for auditioning and notating snippets. It would be useful to complement them by a shortcut for plotting vectors. When evaluating a vector or list of numbers, it would basically though the following code around it. (list-plot <vector or list to plot goes here> :join-points T :point-radius 2) Thanks a lot!

Is there a way to append or even otherwise transform scores created with def-score? For example, it would be useful to have different sections created in different files, and then assembled together in one file. Of course, in principle I can currently create the individual parameters and parts in individual files, and then have only a single def-score definition in one place, but that is less convenient (intermediate results are not shown as score). More generally, is there a way to process intermediate results with multiple parts? If we would have access to a polyphonic score, then in principle there could be also score transformations that take …

possible? would like it if i could see/open/work COMPOSER, SCORE, MIDI-display, GRAPHICS in different windows (for working with more then one SCREEN)...? what do you think? regards andré

Bonjour, Serait-il possible de créer une rubrique concernant les instruments/synthétiseurs virtuels ? Notamment pour indiquer ceux qui respectent les ajustements de dynamiques, de panoramique, de tuning, etc, bref, qui ne filtrent pas certaines données midi via un script OPMO. Pour donner un exemple, Pianoteq ne filtre pas les données midi et respecte les dynamiques, les ajustements de fréquences Hz via les paramètres de tuning, les panoramiques. Alors qu'un grand nombre ds patchs de Kontakt filtrent les données lors d'ajustements de tuning, ce qui est préjudiciable pour travailler en microtonalité.

Hi, It would be nice if the IDE can support function name completion. For example, if I type "harmonic-" followed by TAB key (or some other modality), the IDE should complete the function name "harmonic-progression". "Intellisense" is common among many IDEs these days. The most inspiring IDE I have ever worked with with IntelliJ for Java. Regards, Rangarajan

Hi, One feature that I believe will add great value to Opusmodus (esp. Live Coding) is the ability to emit MIDI data as it is generated by the program. Currently, the whole MIDI sequence is constructed from def-score and then emitted. If we have functions for sending MIDI data directly, that will help in interacting with other devices (e.g DAW) in live, dynamic mode. I am guessing that this functionality is already there, but not exposed. Sometime ago, I had asked about OSC support, and the reply was that it will be available in ver 1.2. Both these features will enhance the value of the program. Regards, Rangarajan

Hi, Here is a suggestion. When I add a new file to an existing workspace, the IDE creates that file and adds it to the workspace correctly, but in addition, it would be better (I feel) to make the new file the active file. At present, the file switching is not taking place. I guess you would have a valid reason for that behaviour, but I personally would prefer to automatically switch to the new (empty) file. Regards, Rangarajan

Hi all Just want to wish you all on this forum Happy New Year Lasse

"Dominik Šedivý: Serial Composition and Tonality" is mentioned several times in the function examples as further reading. I live in a place where books take 3 - 4 months to get here. Can I buy this book as an ebook? Thank you

Hi, I have a small suggestion concerning MAKE-SCALE: It would be a nice extension, if one can use lists in :alt would be an easy way to construct symmetric scales and more complex sieves. simple example: (make-scale 'c3 8 :alt '(1 2)) => (c3 cs3 eb3 e3 fs3 g3 a3 bb3) same as: (flatten (list (gen-mix (make-scale 'c3 4 :alt 3) (make-scale 'cs3 4 :alt 3)))) => (c3 cs3 eb3 e3 fs3 g3 a3 bb3) Happy New Y(ear)(s)! ole
