Would anyone know how to disable the "Bells & Whistles" metronome while playing several instruments? Thank you

Hi again! I am trying to to a MIDI to score transcription and I am setting min value to 1/32, tupelos to any and velocity to symbol. When I play the midi file with the midi player, all works well, yet after I transcript to score and I try and play the OMN file, I get long notes broken into shorter ones, kind of like if ties were being ignored and thus notes were repeated to form the longer originally tied notes... what should I do? is there any parameter I am missing in settings? thanks! Julio

Hi guys, I am trying to successively modify a set, and I am looking at the quick start as my model but mine does not work... so, I create a set that I call 'bird1', I then randomise the pitch order and assign it to the variable 'mix', then I want to retrograde that and assign it to 'retromix'... but as I can check each snippet, I am trying to do so to see what results at each step, yet when I check the last one, I get an error and no sound... yet when I just execute the snippet, there is no error... setting the first list (setf bird1 '(( q as5 -e -t) (-e -t e as5 -h -e..) (-q... q as5 tie t -q) (-s e as5 -h -q -t fs5 tie) (z^s c…

Hi all, When I change in the example for repeat: (setf test '((repeat (-q q. g4bb4d5 e g4bb4d5 q c4c5eb5) (q f4a4c5 g4bb4 h f4a4c5) (h bb3bb4 -h) (h d4f4a4 q g4bb4 f4a4c5 tie) (q f4a4c5 g4bb4 h d4fs4a4) (end1 (h g4)) (end2 (h g4))))) to: (setf test '((repeat (-q q. g4bb4d5 e g4bb4d5 q c4c5eb5) (q f4a4c5 g4bb4 h f4a4c5) (h bb3bb4 -h) (h d4f4a4 q g4bb4 f4a4c5 tie) (q f4a4c5 g4bb4 h d4fs4a4) (end1 (-e e g4)) ;<---- a rest (end2 (h g4))))) I get: …

Hi guys, Why would this notate but not play? '((s f5 ffff t e4 = = = = s f4 pp t f3 >) (t f3 > t f4 > t f4 > e f3 > trem) (e g2 ff s f5 ppp s g6 sfz stacc f3 mp)) it creates the score without any problems but will not play back... thank you!

Hi guys, Just going through the quick start examples of algorithmic composing, and there is something that has been happening from the beginning: I open Quickstart, I choose Lesson 2, for example. I use the up/down arrows to navigate through the various .opmo documents, I navigate down, skimming through the text, right down to document 8 and when I navigate back up, documents 5 and 6 appear blank... this has happened to me also with tutorial 1. What I have done is to restore the quick start document and go again. I have also tried opening those docs independently but still blank! what is happening? thanks!

Hello everyone! when you do this: (vector-to-pitch '(g3 g4) (gen-white-noise 10 :seed 89)) you get the pithces in two different colours, why is that? => (ab3 g4 eb4 a3 b3 eb4 g4 g3 gb4 e4) Thanks, Julio (not sure the colours will show up on this post, but I think you know what I mean...?)

Any Opusmodus users running OS X El Capitan? How is it?

Following from this question, I want to use several different Lisp packages through quicklisp, but I can't get the installation to work correctly. After doing some digging, I found out that the path to quicklisp is not defined correctly. This is the content of the ql:*quicklisp-home* global: > ql:*quicklisp-home* #P"/Users/opusmodus/quicklisp/" I realised that changing this manually doesn't fix the issue, and because of this I can't install or use quicklisp correctly. Note that I do not have a user by the name opusmodus and creating that directory with my user's permission does not fix it. I managed to do something by using…

Hi guys, From both supercollider and Max, I am used to clicking an object (in this case it would be function) and bringing up a help file. Is there a similar shortcut here in OM? or do I always have to highlight the function, copy it, then go to the Utilities Panel, Select 'Search', paste in the function name, and then get the help file? just not used to taking so many steps to invoke help! Lazy in West Yorkshire

the function is missing here: ;;; Lesson 2 - Algorithmic ;;; 4. Pitches ;;;--------------------------------------------------------- (setf pitch-transp (7 -12 pitches)) ;; Now let's transpose those pitches down an octave. this snippet eval gives this: > Error: Car of (7 -12 pitches) is not a function name or lambda-expression. > While executing: ccl::cheap-eval-in-environment, in process Listener-1(8). so I checked back to the Full score and it says this: (setf pitch-transp (pitch-transpose -12 pitches)) which works and makes sense! the name of the setfield is quite s…

this keep returning the original, what am I doing wrong? thanks rog gen retro.opmo

Hi Maestro Is there new documentation for version 1.1 or do the older tutorials work fine? Many thanks for your endeavors 0n behalf of the international creative community; Opusmodus is everything It's touted to be and more...Best to you...rog

This is my score everything evaluates until I get to the bottom and then I get a air a message about my use of right-hand and left-hand NOT BEING DEFINED (setf pitches (gen-repeat 10 '(gs4 as4 bs4 cs5 ds5))) (setf pitches2 (gen-repeat 10 '(c3 d3 e3 f3 g3 ))) (setf lengths (span pitches '(e))) (setf rest (length-rest-weight '(2 1 ) lengths :seed 19)) (setf rest2 (length-rest-weight '(3 1) lengths :seed 17)) (setf piano-righthand (make-omn :length rest :pitch pitches :velocity '(f))) (setf piano-lefthand (make-omn :length rest2 :pitch pitches2 :velocity '(f))) (setf timesigs (get-time-signature lengths)) (de…

Hi, after updating to 1.1, all items in the different Utilities panes (System Library, Documents, Def-Libraries) are gone. Any way to get them back? I am on OS X 10.9.5 if that helps. Thanks

Hi, I noticed this behavior using length-adjust: (length-adjust '3/4 '(-s = = =) :type 'r :position 's) => (-h -s nil nil nil) This works though: (length-adjust '3/4 '(s = = =) :type 'r :position 's) => (-1/2 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16) and this: (length-adjust '3/4 '(-s s s s) :type 'r :position 's) => (-1/2 -1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16) Seems as if the -s in combination with = causes the problem. I'm still on OM 1.0, maybe this behaves differently in 1.1. All the best, Erik

Hi, How can I find the sum of lengths in OMN including rests? Obviously the code below won't work, but it will give you an idea what I'm looking for: (setf anacrusis-ls '((-s = = = = = = =) (-3e = = = = =) (-5q. = = = = = = = = =))) (setf pick (rnd-pick anacrusis-ls)) (setf sum (find-sum pick)) All the best, Erik

With optional b and step: (gen-integer -3 12 2) => (-3 -1 1 3 5 7 9 11) (gen-integer -3 12 '(1 2)) => ((-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12) (-3 -1 1 3 5 7 9 11)) The second example is giving error: > Error: The value (1 2) is not of the expected type number.

Good evening, Uh...How do I do this in OMN (see attached pic)? I Can't figure that out. Anyone? regards Lasse Hi again. It was simple. Sorry. '(5q -5q 5q -5q 5q) To hot here. Overheating. Helped to just formulate the question Cheers

I am working with this idea: trying to create short fragments to combine into the omn for score and playback. (setq r1 (gen-loop 4 (rnd-order (rnd-pick '((e - = =) (e - 3ee = =) (5e = = = =) (7ee = = = = = =) (7eee = = = = = =) (7eeee = = = = = =))) :seed 35))) (setq r2 (gen-loop 4 (rnd-order (rnd-pick '((e - = =) (e - 3ee = =) (5e = = = =) (7ee = = = = = =) (7eee = = = = = =) (7eeee = = = = = =))) :seed 35))) (setq r3 (gen-loop 4 (rnd-order (r…

Hello. I am a Music Composition student at UCSD and I would love to try this wonderful looking program. However, it seems that after downloading the Trial Version and installing it, the program itself won't load (I am using OS X Yosemite and I have already altered the security settings and gave permissions to run software). The Opusmodus logo just bounces but never loads until it is ultimately unresponsive. Any help/info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, How do I actually access tonality-names? (integer-to-pitch acoustic-scale) throws the following error: > Error: Unbound variable: acoustic-scale > While executing: ccl::cheap-eval-in-environment, in process Listener-1(8). I'm on OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks), Opusmodus 1.0.15921All the best,Erik

Greetings: I am working with this fragment and I am confused by the result. If, there is no :seed in any function then the code fragment compiles as expected - the output is different each time. If there is a :seed value in the setq function then the pitch order is always the same - even though the RND-ORDER function has :seed NIL. Is there a ways to gain independence with seeding of random functions in this example? Keeping rhythm constant but having new pitch output each time, for example. Many thanks for any help on this. *** (setq rhy3 (gen-loop 16 (rnd-pick '((-h -) (q - - ) (q -) (5qqq = - = -) (5qq = = = =) (5ss…

Hi, The settings in Preferences>Audition doesn't seem to load properly when restarting Opusmodus. However, the settings of the popup-menues are saved since last session, and when opening the Audition window the settings will reload. I'm on OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks), Opusmodus 1.0.15921 All the best, Erik

Hi,Is there a way that I can randomize the size argument of GEN-INTERLEAVE in the following code?That is, not just initially but continuously, so you get a variable interleave size. All the best,Erik(ambitus '(g3 g5) (gen-interleave 5 (integer-to-pitch (gen-accumulate '(2 7) :start -5 :count 16))) :type :invert)
