Opusmodus 1.0.15697 now works with Jack app.

[Does not wotk with Jack on OS X]

Opusmodus 1.0.15697 works with Jack app.

[Does not wotk with Jack on OS X]

Soundflower app causes no problems.

[I do not understand tonality-series]

This was fixed in 1.0.15686

[Does not wotk with Jack on OS X]

We are looking into that. I know the Jack app for may, is an important program.

[make-scale]

Alternatively you could use GEN-INTEGER-STEP function:

(gen-integer-step 0 12 '(1 2))
=> (0 1 3 4 6 7 9 10 12 13 15 16)

[make-scale]

Good idea, I will add this to the next update.

EXPAND-CHORD documentation:

root pitch symbol.
chord chord name.
add an integer (additional intervals).
remove an integer (remove intervals from the tonality).
rotate and integer (chordal inversion).
variant a variant symbol: o, r, i, ri, 4, r4, 5, r5 or ? (at random).
mod an integer. The default is 12.
assoc an integer. The default is 12.
row NIL or T. If true then the output is melodize. The default is NIL. 
seed NIL or an integer. The default is NIL.

(expand-chord '(f4 m :add 9 :row t))

The TONALITY-MAP function is fixed as from version 1.0.15685

(setf chords '((c4 maj) (f4 m) (f4 m) (g4 maj) (c4 maj)))
(setf rows (gen-repeat 5 (list '(q c4 cs4 d4 ds4 e4 f4 fs4 g4 gs4 a4 as4 b4))))

(setf tonality1
      (tonality-series chords
       :add '(2)
       :closest '(up)))

(tonality-map tonality1 rows)
=> ((q c4 d4 d4 e4 e4 e4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5)
    (q f4 g4 g4 gs4 gs4 c5 c5 c5 c5 c5 f5 f5)
    (q f4 g4 g4 gs4 gs4 c5 c5 c5 c5 c5 f5 f5)
    (q g4 a4 a4 b4 b4 b4 d5 d5 d5 d5 g5 g5)
    (q c4 d4 d4 e4 e4 e4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5))

Thank you Torsten for finding the :add bug - the integer transposition was wrongly placed.

If any of you have the same problem please uninstall the Jack Audio Connection Kit app and restart the computer, this should fix the problem.

[Trial Version won't Load Properly]

I really don't have any great ideas about what is causing this.

1. One guess at the moment is to try to move "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/Digidesign CoreAudio.plugin" somewhere else temporarily and see if that does anything.

2. I also still think it's worth trying to start the application from a new account that has never been used.  At least make sure that "~/Library/Saved Application State/com.opusmodus.Opusmodus.savedState" doesn't exist (delete it if it does).

Just to make sure I expect that Opusmodus.app is on the hard disk somewhere, and not on a mounted disk image file :-)

[Trial Version won't Load Properly]

You can't do that the Clozure CL dx86cl64 has no one line Opusmodus code.

After the holidays we will look into to problem for sure.

[Recording live coding as midi file]

This is a future functionality, but you can send all the LCI midi events (performance) into Logic or any other DAW app.

[How to Setup the MIDI Outputs to Virtual Instrument]

1. Create few IAC ports in the 'Audio MIDI Setup' app:

 

2. Go to your virtual instrument, load an instrument and chose the port 1:

 

3. In Opusmodus composer panel type (midi-destinations) and evaluate the function:

(midi-destinations)

 

Note: We use the MIDI-DESTINATION function for reference only.

The output will look something like that:

=> ((0 . "Bus 1") (1 . "Bus 2") (2 . "Bus 3") (3 . "Bus 4")
    (4 . "Bus 5") (5 . "Bus 6") (6 . "Bus 7") (7 . "Bus 8")
    (8 . "Bus 9") (9 . "Bus 10") (10 . "Bus 11") (11 . "Bus 12")
    (12 . "Bus 13") (13 . "Bus 14") (14 . "Bus 15") (15 . "Bus 16")
    (16 . "Session 1") (17 . "Keyboard") (18 . "MIDI OUT")
    (19 . "UM-ONE") (20 . "Kontakt 5 Virtual Input”))

 

4. In the DEF-SCORE in the instrument section add the same port you have assigned to the Virtual Instrument.

Note: Opusmodus port numbers are 0-based.

(def-score goldberg-var7
           (:key-signature '(g major)
            :time-signature '(6 8)
            :tempo '("al tempo di Giga" e 155)
            :layout (piano-solo-layout 'rh 'lh))
  
  (rh :omn rh
      :port 0
      :channel 1
      :sound 'gm
      :program 0)
  
  (lh :omn lh))

 

Or, you could use the port name if you prefer:

 (rh :omn rh
      :port "Bus 1"
      :channel 1
      :sound 'gm
      :program 0)

[Get different random repeat at each draw with gen-repeat]

As you can see there is no many possibilities to create chords with the pitch list  '(b4 cs4 f4)

Maybe you need to think of a different approach:

(gen-loop 12 
 (gen-chord2 12 3
  (rnd-sample 3 '(c4 cs4 e4 f4 g4 gs4 a4 b4))
  :offset (rnd-sample 12 '(0 1 2))
  :transpose (rnd-sample 12 '(3 8 -3))))

[Get different random repeat at each draw with gen-repeat]

Is this what you are looking for?

(gen-chord2 12 3 (flatten (gen-loop 12 (rnd-sample 3 '(c4 cs4 e4 f4 g4 gs4 a4 b4))))
 :offset '(2) :transpose '(3 8 -3))

=> (bb4d5b4 e5c5a4 bb3d4f4 b4d5gs4 cs5gs4cs5 d4a3d4
   gs4c5eb4 gs4c5cs5 d4e4cs4 g4g4b4 e5e5a4 bb3cs4f4)

[Get different random repeat at each draw with gen-repeat]

Please check the GEN-CHORD2 documentation.

[Get different random repeat at each draw with gen-repeat]

Solution:

(gen-chord2 12 3
 (gen-loop 12 (rnd-sample 3 '(c4 cs4 e4 f4 g4 gs4 a4 b4)))
 :offset '(2) :transpose '(3 8 -3))

["Bugs" in the documentation]

The version 1.0.15680 fixed all the docs errors.

["Quantising" into harmonic progression]

There is no bug in the TONALITY-SERIES function.

In order to use TONALITY-MAP and TONALITY-SERIES we need to understand how it works.

TONALITY-MAP works with chords and chord progression.

(tonality-map tonality rnd-melody-smooth)

The :add value is an interval number (not a pitch) of the tonality in question. 

Maybe EXPAND-CHORD function helps to understand the TONALITY-MAP function:

(expand-chord '(c4 maj :row t))
=> (c4 e4 g4)

(expand-chord '(c4 maj :row t :add (1 3)))
=> (c4 cs4 ds4 e4 g4)

(expand-chord '(f4 maj :row t :add (1 3)))
=> (f4 fs4 gs4 a4 c5)

Adding intervals:

(setf tonality
(tonality-series
       simple-cadence
       :root '(c4 f4 f4 g4 c4)
       :closest '(down up)
       :add '(1 6 1 8 6)))

I suggest to start with chromatic row (input) to understand and see how TONALITY-MAP works.

Example 1

(setf chords '((c4 maj) (f4 m) (f4 m) (g4 maj) (c4 maj)))
(setf rows (gen-repeat 5 (list '(q c4 cs4 d4 ds4 e4 f4 fs4 g4 gs4 a4 as4 b4))))

(setf tonality1
      (tonality-series chords
       :root '(c4 c4 c4 c4 c4)
       :add '(1 6 8 11 6)
       :closest '(up)))

(tonality-map tonality1 rows)
=> ((q c4 cs4 cs4 e4 e4 e4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5)
    (q c4 cs4 eb4 eb4 eb4 g4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5)
    (q c4 c4 eb4 eb4 eb4 g4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5)
    (q c4 c4 e4 e4 e4 e4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5)
    (q c4 c4 e4 e4 e4 fs4 fs4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5))

Example 2:

(setf tonality2
      (tonality-series chords
       :root '(c4 f4 f4 g4 c4)
       :add '(1 6 8 11 6)
       :closest '(up)))

(tonality-map tonality2 rows)
=> ((q c4 cs4 cs4 e4 e4 e4 g4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5)
    (q f4 fs4 gs4 gs4 gs4 c5 c5 c5 c5 c5 f5 f5)
    (q f4 f4 gs4 gs4 gs4 c5 c5 c5 c5 c5 f5 f5)
    (q g4 g4 b4 b4 b4 b4 d5 d5 d5 d5 g5 g5)
    (q c4 c4 e4 e4 e4 fs4 fs4 g4 g4 g4 c5 c5))

[Enharmonic spelling]

If the key-signature is '(c minor) then we should see eb4 and not ds4 therefore this is a bug.

[Can Microtonal music support planned?]

Thank you for the offer, I will let you know when we are close to the date (version 2.0).

If you have any specific ideas - must be part or the pitch notation c4 cs4 c4+ c4- c4++ but all this is not decided yet - please send them directly to me.
