AMEN LOOPS !! https://rhythm-lab.com/amen_breaks/?srsltid=AfmBOopvuBOnbgi-hw2N7lwrlGbs3w9xekV9m4atKP2m9bl_P4F4iqAi ORIGINAL https://samplefocus.com/samples/amen-break-original-g

Dear Friends, With the audio tools in windows can we make some breakbeats, like chopping audio files, like beat slicing and starting in different parts of the audio file, like the video below (serato sample plugin), and also sync accurately with midi parts in Opusmodus ? All the best ! Julio SOME HISTORY Here are some breakbeats (amen sample) If possible, would be great to includ a sample of the amen beat inside the documentation with an example of breakbeat. This function can also serve to launch samples of any nature for electroacoustic or mixed music.

Works perfectly here (Windows 11)

Thanks a lot ! Wonderful !

Suggestion for import musicxml behavior: I think that a practical thing would be having the omn file from the MusicXML To Score to be automatically saved in the same folder where the corresponding MusicXML file is located. I´m using a folder for each composition or draft and in this folder I locate everything related to that composition, like the Musescore Files, the PDF Files and research material, the midi, the OPMO files, etc. Would be handy to have this option. Can it be programed in some user preferences LISP config file ? Thanks a lot !! Julio

I don´t know how to fix that. I already have the license for version 4.0 and I strongly recommend the upgrade since it´s very useful to work with musicxml drafts.

Yes, I had this same issue here. I was trying to use the version 3 in my notebook after installing the version 4. Then I decided to use version 4 only in my main desktop computer (since I could not have the version 4 in two different computers).

Yes, it was a kind of system "enhancement" software called Winhance I installed... I dont recommend;;; It messes with the system. Solved now. Best, Julio

I can't open the documentation inside Opusmodus in Windows 11. Don't know why. Do I need to have edge installed ? Thanks,

The "TOT" library is already included by default in Opusmodus ? I receive a message like this: <<automatic abort>> OM 4 > Error: Component :tot not found 1 (continue) Retry ASDF operation. 2 Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration. 3 Retry ASDF operation. 4 Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration. 5 (abort) Return to top loop level 0. Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed. Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options. OM 5 : 1 > Thanks, Stephane. Looks good.

You can do system breaks at a later stage, when preparing the score for publishing in your favorite engraving software, like Musescore, Sibelius, Dorico, Finale (RIP), etc.

Thanks, Janusz ! Best, Julio

Dear Team, I noticed that the omn-to-time-signature, when used with length-only material is not returning the same rhythms. The rhythms are missing the ties when used with lengths only. With pitch + length materials looks to be ok. I used to think that this function would return the same rhythms, but just adjusted to a new sequence of time-signatures.

Thanks, Stephane ! A GM version is interesting to focus in Opusmodus only. All the best ! Congratulations !

Great Function, Janusz ! I have one question: What is the best strategy to use this function to obtain cross staff piano notation, i.e. notes with the same rhythm / voice crossing between the treble and bass clef. Please, could you provide a little example ? Should I use a different piano layout ? normal piano x grand piano layout ? Thanks a lot ! Best !

Dear Erka, I tryed some older version of Jam origin software. The advantage of the 13 pin is to have one string in each midi channel. This is good for multitimbral stuff and also for input tablature in Finale with its channel filter. Each string goes directly to its right place. Thanks for the message ! All the best and Happy 2025 !

Hello, I didn´t try it. I need some explanation of the system about the tab layout option and how to find tablature clefs in the integrated MusicXML environment. Best, Julio

I had this question before: Here is the answer by Janusz , back in 2021. Thanks, Janusz ! I´m obssessed by the same problems over and over. Best ! (let ((rem (ambitus '(c5 b5) (expand-tonality '((c5 major) (db5 major) (gb5 major))))) (super (ambitus '(c5 b5) '((d5 f5 a5 c6) (eb4 gb4 bb4 db4) (fs4 as4 cs4))))) (loop for s in super for r in rem collect (loop for i in s do (setf r (remove i r)) finally (return r))))

Dear Friends, I´m trying to make a function to get the complementary diatonic set for a diatonic chord. For example, if you relate the key of C major (C D E F G A B) with the chord Cmaj7 (C E G B), the complementary set is (D F A). Elliott Carter did this a lot in his Harmony Book, making all kinds of complementarities. This works for comparing stuff. Is there something easier in the system ? For comparing a sequence of chords in relation to a sequence of tonalities for getting the difference ? (defun compare-list-pairs (list-pairs) (loop for (list1 list2) in list-pairs collect (set-difference list1 list2 :test 'equal))) (compare-list-pairs '(((c4 d4 e4) (c4 e4)) ((5 6 7 8 9) (5 7 8)))) ;> ((d4) (9 6)) If you want to work to the diatonic scales as integers, this can be useful, but maybe would be easier with embbeded tonality functions. (position-filter (pitch-to-integer '(e4 eb4 e4 eb4 b4 gb4 e4 db4)) '((0 2 4 5 7 9 11) (1 3 5 6 8 10 0) (2 4 6 7 9 11 1) (4 6 8 9 11 1 3) (5 7 9 10 0 2 4) (6 8 10 11 1 3 5) (7 9 11 0 2 4 6) (8 10 0 1 3 5 7) (9 11 1 2 4 6 😎 (10 0 2 3 5 7 9) (11 1 3 4 6 8 10))) Any idea ? Thanks !

Yes, you are correct, I always try to make sure that the fault is not mine. However, there are many hidden little "secrets" that are not evident for me. In this I was interpreting :otherwise as an optional argument. I´ll never understand Opusmodus as good as you, but I like it a lot. Thanks a lot, Best Julio

I though otherwise was optional. Now it´s alternating mf and mp for the 16th notes... It should be all mf for 16th notes.
