first question i would like to replace the dynamics of all "tasto"-sounds in an OMN-sequence, is there a function for that? for example '(e. c4 pppp tasto d4 ponte e4) -> replace only the dynamic of the TASTO result should be: '(e. c4 f tasto d4 ppp ponte e4) second question (if i want to code it for myself) ...is there always a constant dataset/stream (events) in the "background"? like : '((e. c4 pppp tasto) (e. d4 pppp ponte) (e. e4 pppp ponte))? which function shows me this, so called, EVENTS. for some coding this format is a lot more usefull then seperat lists of each parameter thanks for help and HAPPY CHRISTMAS andré

if you want to modify "a weight" from GEN-generation to next GEN-generation you could use this... (modifying a weight could be useful if you want to give your production-rules a global drift) greetings andré (defun modify-weight (&key weight (step 0.1) type (threshold 0.5) (span '(0 1)) (max-weight 1.0)) (cond ((or (equal type 'incr) (equal type 'decr)) (progn (setq weight (cond ((equal type 'incr) (incf weight step)) ((equal type 'decr) (decf weight step)))) (if (and (> weight 0) (< weight max-weight)) (append weight) (cond ((>= weight max-weight) (random (- 1 threshold))) ((<= weight 0) (+ (random (- 1 threshold)) threshold)))))) ((equal type 'incr-noreset) (if (< weight max-weight) (incf weight step) (append max-weight))) ((equal type 'decr-noreset) (if (> weight 0) (decf weight step) (append 0))) ((equal type 'rnd) (+ (random (- 1 threshold)) threshold)) ((equal type 'rnd-span) (rnd-round (first span) (second span))))) ;;; EXAMPLES TO TEST THE FUNCTION -> ev. every example a few times to check it (setf weight 0.1) ;;; counts up until default-max-weight (1.0), then rnd-reset (setf weight (modify-weight :type 'incr :weight weight :step 0.2)) (setf weight 0.1) ;;; counts up, stays at max-weight (setf weight (modify-weight :type 'incr-noreset :weight weight :step 0.2 :max-weight 3.0)) (setf weight 1.0) ;;; counts down until 0, then rnd-reset (setf weight (modify-weight :type 'decr :weight weight :step 0.1)) (setf weight 1.0) ;;; counts up, stays at 0 (setf weight (modify-weight :type 'decr-noreset :weight weight :step 0.1)) (setf weight 1.0) ;;; rnd-weights, larger then threshold (setf weight (modify-weight :type 'rnd :threshold 0.3)) (setf weight 1.0) ;;; rnd-weights, in SPAN (setf weight (modify-weight :type 'rnd-span :span '(0.3 0.6)))

i needed something like that (to fit sequences in a FRAME), don't know if it exists... very simple... (defun length-rest-sum (omn-list) (loop for i in (omn :length omn-list) sum (abs i)))

hi wim so it is up to us to share ideas and code here in the forum :-) greetings andré

Finally it is the question whether you want to generate music with the help of blackboxes/tools (whether open source or OM)... or you want to think, to reflect and to program your own ideas, and not to take what tools can easily generate (in this case you are not/less "independent"). with LISP (coding almost everything for myself) and OM for MIDI and SCORE it works for me... i think it's not a question of open source or not...

thanx! a.

simple question (from a-non-programmer) - for what can you use that tooll? greetings andré

here is a version with MULTIPLE replacements... you have to write replacements different... a list in a list... have a look to the examples: (defun omn-component-replace2 (omn-sequence replace-component) (car (last (loop for i in replace-component collect (setf omn-sequence (make-omn :length (if (lengthp (car i)) (append i) (omn :length omn-sequence)) :pitch (if (pitchp (car i)) (append i) (omn :pitch omn-sequence)) :velocity (if (velocityp (car i)) (append i) (omn :velocity omn-sequence)) :articulation (if (articulationp (car i)) (append i) (omn :articulation omn-sequence)))))))) (omn-component-replace2 '(S C4 PPP TASTO Q.T D4 PPPP TASTO S E4 PPP TASTO) '((p))) (omn-component-replace2 '(S C4 PPP TASTO Q.T D4 PPPP TASTO S E4 PPP TASTO) '((p) (ponte) (e2 b2 d2)))

most of the time i'm working with pure LISP (pitches in midi-note-numbers -> then (midi-to-pitch ...) to create omn-pitches) after LISP-coding (generating lists for pitches/lengths/...) i'm converting to OMN-format by (make-omn :pitches :length etc...)...

sorry, but i don't understand what you are looking for... you want to pick all elements > 0? or change rests into lengths and lengths into rests? like a kind of a filter?
