[Length-Legato opposite function]

Hi,

 

Just a minor improvement, the function is now also working with sublists :-)

In the velocity documents you find all the answers.

 

Example

All 127 velocities in float point numbers:

What about floating point numbers velocity 

(make-omn :length '(e = = = = = = =)
          :pitch '(c4 cs5 b3 c4)
          :velocity '(0.1 0.2 0.21 0.32))
=> (e c4 0.1 cs5 0.2 b3 0.21 c4 0.32 0.1 cs5 0.2 b3 0.21 c4 0.32)

 

 

thanks for the quick answer! So the floating point numbers velocity ranges from 0.1 to 0.99 or how do it relate to the 1-127 midi steps?

I want to create an as-smooth-as-possible crescendo from the lowest possible value to the highest over x steps..

Can you point me to some more information about 'floating point numbers velocity'?

[Velocities other than symbols]

Hi,

I have a list of 30 midi-velocities that I want to map to 30 pitches, how can I do that without converting the velocities into symbols? Is that possible in OM (it is not for human players but for virtual instruments)?

(setf vel '(1 5 10 14 19 23 27 32 36 41 44 50 53 57 62 66 71 75 79 84 88 93 97 102 105 109 114 118 123 127))

converted to symbols it looks like:

(ppppp ppppp pppp pppp pppp ppp ppp pp pp pp p p mp mp mp mf mf f f f ff ff fff fff fff ffff ffff ffff fffff fffff)

which is not as 'smooth' as I want it..but make-omn seems to handle only velocity-symbol or am I missing something?

 

thanks for help!

[muting every other note]

I think I know what the problem was, I can not copy directly from the browser. 'Text Wrangler' shows me lots of otherwise hidden signs that confuses OM and that I have to remove first. Sorry for the noise.

That was probably the same problem with Yuichis Code..

edit: Yes ideed!

[muting every other note]

Dear Torsten,

 

Thank you very much for your solution. It looks very promising, in a good sense simple.

Unfortunatly, when I tried to eval your "cut-holes" function it throws an error:

Error: ((= b 0) (* l -1) l) can't be destructured against the lambda list (ccl::test true &optional false), because it contains 5 elements, and at most 3 are expected.

and I could not find out whats wrong. What am I missing?

[muting every other note]

Hi Yuichi,

 

Thanks for your efforts!

Unfortunatly the listener gives me a 'no current expression' when I try to evaluate the 'skip-notes' function and I do not find what is wrong at first glance. Maybe you can repost your code using the  '<>' code-brackets in the posting window. Not sure if this helps though.

[muting every other note]

Hi,

 

I want something rather simple, a sort of sieve, how can I achive that?

 

Lets say I have a melody like

(q c4 e d4  e e4  q. f4 e g4 q a4 b4)

and I want to mute every other note, so the result would be:

(q c4 -e e4 -q. e g4 -q b4)

or every third note like:

(q c4 e d4 -e q. f4 e g4 q a4 -q)

and it would be great to have an offset..

 

thanks!

[pointillistic to pattern]

Thank you for the quick reply!

My material is this pattern:

(1/4 -1/4 1/4 -3/8 1/4 -1/4 1/4 -3/8)

now I want to create  all variations of this pattern ranging from one beat:

(-1/4 -1/4 -1/4 -3/8 1/4 -1/4 -1/4 -3/8)
          
(0    0    0    0    1   0    0    0   )

to four beats (orginal pattern)

 

[pointillistic to pattern]

Hi, I'am looking for a method to pick more and more elements from a list (that are more or less equally distributed):

 

(1/4 -1/4 1/4 -3/8 1/4 -1/4 1/4 -3/8)
(1   0    1   0    1   0    1   0   )

[Spectral - Marangona]

I've tried to import Data from Spear following the help-file of import-spectral-spear but did not succede.

I assume I have to export the textfiles of the partial data and the frames data to the folder ~/Opusmodus/Spectral Data/Data

and the described import action is related to OM?

 

When I try (import-spectral-spear :frames "tbn cs3 frames"  "tbn-cs3-frames") than:

> Error: No such file or directory : #P"om:Spectral Data;Data;tbn cs3 frames.txt.newest"

 

So it would be really great if you can ellaborate on that spectral stuff..

 

thanks a lot!

[how to write a "polytempo score"]

Thanks for the answer!

 

 

@AM: Don't know if you are using Logic,

in Logic you can  lock an object (midi-track) to its current SMPTE position,

via right-click, also see: https://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=40%26section=4%26tasks=true 

than choose another tempo and lock the SMPTE position again and so forth.

Maybe that helps as a workaround.

thanks for you answer. but it seems that the nancarrow/carter-idea is not possible with opusmodus.... because i would like to programm a SCORE. best way for me would be, if i could combine two or more different (setups/tempi) "def-score"s to a MAIN-score.... 

 

but anyway, thanks!!!!!!

If there is a way to program a score with voices  in different tempos, I'am also strongly interested how that could be done.

[gen-retro]

I guess gen-retro does not work with more that one voice.

And you don't need the quote when calling the variable with gen-retro

Don't know if it is necessary but I would put a blanc character between the name of the variable and the content

(gen-retrograde 'music1)

(setf music1 '((q ..

[Templates & Layout]

Hi,

I just wanted to make use of the string quartet score layout and copied the following from layout into my def-score:

:layout
	 (string-ensemble-layout
	  '(violin-1 violin-2) 'viola 'cello ())

 

that throws the following error:

Error: Too few arguments in call to #<Compiled-function string-ensemble-layout #x3000014660AF>:
>        3 arguments provided, at least 4 required. 
> While executing: string-ensemble-layout, in process Listener-1(8).
> Type cmd-. to abort, cmd-\ for a list of available restarts.

 

what am I missing?

And where are the score templates listed above e.g. where do I find string-quartet.opmo?

is this useful?

(setf phase (make-omn
 :length '(1/16)

;;; piano1
(assemble-seq (gen-repeat 4 phase)(gen-repeat 28 phase))

;;; piano2 
(assemble-seq '(-12/16)(gen-repeat 28 phase);in the 28 repetitions the second piano gradually 
;shifts so that after 28 repetitions it is a 16th note later e.g. the f-sharp (second pitch) 
;is sounding together with the e (first pitch) from the 1. piano 


;tempo q.=72

 

May be like that:

(setf phrase2 (gen-repeat 24 '((8/63 d4 fs4 gs4 b4 a4 fs4 gs4 e4))))

Hi Stephane,

I just listened to your example, sounds like it is the direction I would like to go. Thanks!

How did you come up with the length-values, can you explain a little?
