i like the concept of "brownian bridge" to produce complex curves from a to b, but not completely randomized or controlled. in the video you see all the generations for one evaluation... how it could sound - mapped on different tonalities Brownsche Brücke – Wikipedia DE.WIKIPEDIA.ORG for understanding in OPMO: axiom: start end (50 23) gen1 => 1 step (50 8 23) gen2 => 3 steps (50 15 8 -3 23) gen3 => 7 steps (50 40 15 13 8 -14 -3 29 23) gen4 => 15 steps (50 58 40 33 15 22 13 4 8 4 -14 -16 -3 17 29 17 23) ...and so on ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- some evaluations with same AXIOM: Bildschirmaufnahme 2023-07-08 um 11.09.51.mov ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;; BROWNIAN BRIDGE -> could be use as a rnd-process from A to B (integers or pitches) ;;; if you have a look to example with ":all-gen t", you will see the process with all generations, how it works ;;; or take a look to: ;;; https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener-Prozess#/media/File:BrownscheBewegung.png ;;; https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownsche_Brücke ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;; SUB (defun pick (a b &key (span 5)) (let ((rnd1 (car (rnd-number 1 (+ a span) (- a span)))) (rnd2 (car (rnd-number 1 (+ b span) (- b span)))) (n)) (progn (setf n (car (rnd-number 1 rnd1 rnd2))) (if (or (= n a) (= n b)) (+ (rnd-pick '(1 -1)) n) n)))) (pick 2 3) ;;; MAIN ;;; MAIN (defun gen-brownian-bridge (n startend &key (all-gen nil) (output 'integer) (span 5)) (let ((seq)) (progn (setf seq (append (list startend) (loop repeat n with liste = startend do (setf liste (filter-repeat 1 (loop repeat (1- (length liste)) for cnt = 0 then (incf cnt) append (append (list (nth cnt liste) (pick (nth cnt liste) (nth (1+ cnt) liste) :span span) (nth (1+ cnt) liste)))))) collect liste))) (setf seq (if (equal all-gen t) seq (car (last seq)))) (if (equal output 'pitch) (integer-to-pitch seq) seq)))) ;;; EXAMPLES ;; SPAN influence -> span 2 (loop repeat 20 do (list-plot (gen-brownian-bridge 5 '(1.2 5.4) :span 2 :all-gen t) :zero-based t :point-radius 3 :join-points t) do (sleep 2)) ;; SPAN influence -> span 10 (list-plot (gen-brownian-bridge 5 '(50 23) :span 20 :all-gen t) :zero-based t :point-radius 3 :join-points t) ;;; SPAN default (5) (list-plot (gen-brownian-bridge 5 '(50 23) :all-gen t) :zero-based t :point-radius 3 :join-points t) (list-plot (gen-brownian-bridge 5 '(50 23)) :zero-based t :point-radius 3 :join-points t) (gen-brownian-bridge 5 '(50 23) :all-gen t :output 'pitch) (gen-brownian-bridge 5 '(50 23) :output 'pitch)

@opmo: are there any plans for that?

great! (progn (setf r1 (gen-length '(11 13 7 17 13 11 17 23 19 2 17 5) 1/20)) (setf r2 (gen-length '(11 13 7 17 13 11) 1/8)) (unify-rhythms r1 r2))

oh, thx, did not know, that APPLY works on functions "first to the remaining arguments."!

if i understand you correctly.... you could COMPILE the score - and with :next-index t - you can keep all the versions (compile-score 'myscore :file "My Score" :new-index t) "If :new-index is including as an argument the composer is able to collect as saved named incremented files compilation after compilation. This can be invaluable if the score has lots of randomised possibilities that need to be explored and compared to find the 'best version'."

some "ugly code" ...but it works.... you want to use (merge-voices) with ONE list as input? (setf test '((w c2) (h c4 d4) (q g5 g5 g5 g5))) (defun your-merge-voices (alist) (merge-voices (first alist) (second alist) (third alist) (fourth alist) (fifth alist))) (your-merge-voices test)

I would be very interested in it, since the interface over Midi is far too imprecise for reasonably complex rhythms, maybe an interface via Musicxml would be better?

if you adapt the code for LISPWORKS... could work like that

only trust your own code

"program me a sorting algorithm in common lisp, which shows me all sorting cycles. Input: list of values. Output: all cycles of the sorting process." interesting! ChatGPT tells me how the code works, but it has a BUG doesn't work Bildschirmaufnahme 2023-03-18 um 14.33.32.mov

different approach... (pitch-to-interval '(c4d4e4f6)) => intervals between neighbours (get-all-intervals '(c4d4e4f6)) => all intervals INSIDE the chord (between all pitches)

just tried in 3min. ouput correct or perhaps some BUGs in thinking? greetings andré (defun get-all-intervals (alist) (let ((alist (sort-asc (flatten (pitch-to-midi (if (chordp alist) (melodize alist) alist)))))) (rest (sort-asc (remove-duplicates (loop repeat (length alist) for cnt = 0 then (incf cnt) append (x-b (filter-last (- (length alist) cnt) alist) (nth cnt alist)))))))) (get-all-intervals '(c4 d4 e4)) => (2 4) (get-all-intervals '(c4d4e4f6)) => (2 4 25 27 29)

janusz's work and support, bravo!!

here is the solution to send any data by OSC! a big thanks to janusz who made it for me/us!! now a wide variety of externals can be controlled via OSC, in any format... (not only reaktor) (defun osc-send (&rest args) (let* ((host #(127 0 0 1)) ;; host (port 7500) ;; port (s (usocket:socket-connect host port :protocol :datagram :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8))) (b (apply' osc:encode-message args))) (format t "sending to ~a on port ~A~%~%" host port) (unwind-protect (usocket:socket-send s b (length b)) (when s (usocket:socket-close s))))) (osc-send "/player" "120" 1 1 1) (osc-send "/beat" "defer" 0 "duration" 1 "pattern" 12)

i know. but the question is/was, how it could work without eval each time. i would like to put my function in my library, so "EVAL again" is not a solution - that's the idea of DEFUN

that's the code (defun filterbank (&key cc value-range (time-range '(1 127)) (port 7) (channel 16)) (let ((values (loop for i in (rnd-sample 100 (gen-integer (first value-range) (second value-range))) for j in (gen-length (gen-integer (first time-range) (second time-range)) 1/128) collect (list i j)))) (live-coding-midi (compile-score (def-score cc-seq (:title "cc-seq" :key-signature 'chromatic :time-signature '(4 4) :tempo 60) (seq :length '(3) :pitch '(c4) :velocity '(ff) :port port :channel channel :controllers (1 values))))))) (filterbank :cc 1 :value-range '(40 99) :port 1)

it's not a problem with live-coding - cc-messages are sended perfectly, but... but, when i try to evaluate a few times, the error comes up - it seems to me to be a problem with "controllers" inside a new function => when i evaluate for the second time it's always: Error: Controllers must be alternating names/numbers and values. i have no idea, why this is a problem when doing more the 1 eval...

dear all i want to code a simple function for sending midi-cc in an "all-in-one"-function (to external devices like filterbank or microcosm) it works more or less.... but there are two bugs i can't fix. the function: (defun filterbank (&key cc value-range (time-range '(1 127)) (port 7) (channel 16)) (let ((values (loop for i in (rnd-sample 100 (gen-integer (first value-range) (second value-range))) for j in (gen-length (gen-integer (first time-range) (second time-range)) 1/128) collect (list i j)))) (live-coding-midi (compile-score (def-score cc-seq (:title "cc-seq" :key-signature 'chromatic :time-signature '(4 4) :tempo 60) (seq :length '(3) :pitch '(c4) :velocity '(ff) :port port :channel channel :controllers (1 values))))))) (filterbank :cc 1 :value-range '(40 99) :port 1) problem 1: when i evaluate the function and run it ONCE - everything okay. when i like to RUN it a second time there is an error, i don't know why. then i have to evaluate the FUNCTION again... why? problem 2: i would like to "replace" :controllers (1 values) by :controllers (cc values) -> so that i can choose the cc-number by a variable "cc". but it don't work - any hints? thanx for some help andré
