Thanks for the information ! I was trying Opusmodus with some samplers, mixing audio and midi. The timing of Opusmodus is excellent. Everything in sync. Thank you. Best ! Julio Maybe a good idea would be having multiple instances of live coding in the same workspace, with detachable moving windows for the live code instruments. I was trying in the same workspace... Thank you !

Dear Friends, How to have multiple instances of Live Coding in Windows Machines ? I´m trying to make this happen even from different files, but the ps expression always open the live coding in the main navigator window. Thanks ! Happy 2024 ! (ps 'gm :afromenu1 (list (make-omn :pitch (gen-loop 120 (rnd-pick (integer-to-pitch (gen-integer -29 43))):seed 269615) :length (gen-repeat 120 '(s s)))) :tempo 80 :output :live-coding )

In my humble opinion, you can do anything you can rationalize in terms of lists, functions and algorithms. That´s the basic concept. There are idiomatic, stylistic things that demands more revision due to its "not so automatic" nature. Some styles have a blend of automatic procedures and some touch of imprecise things. Maybe what I call "imprecise" here is somewhat of a higher order in terms of language, something that not depends necessarily in well formed lists or well formed syntax. Some of these high order language aspects can be captured by an AI trained with a specific idiomatic database based on common practice procedures for example. Or simply made manually case by case... Meaning is not captured by lists... Our cognition of form neither... Generating and juxtaposing materials does not create meaning. It´s a necessary step, but it´s not all... melodize and pitch-melodize are similar but not the same. Check the docs.

Old VSL .gig files...

The drop types are the same, independently of the chord family. It´s a matter of ordering the notes and keep the rule of no more than an octave between adjacent voices.

Opusmodus + SuperCollider in Windows ? Do you have a tutorial ? Best !

Beautiful ! Any chance to get the code ? Happy 2024, Stephane !

Thanks !

Thank you, David. I used many functions from Opusmodus in the piece ! Happy 2024 !

Thanks, Janusz !

Video about 5-note voicings with drop-voicing function (in portuguese)

Interesting. Both the notations are correct, but I prefer the second most. The first could be achieved by (3h 3q tie 3q 3h). My solution in the moment was to change the time sig to 2/4 (then the triplets appeared right) and then changing back to 4/4 in musescore. Fortunately it was a simple thing... The problem is when you have multiple time signature changes and have to change all manually... Best !

Dear friends, How can I get my tuplets as the second way (all like the bar 2) ? The code is the same (3h), but yields different results... Thanks ! Julio ((3h c4 e4 g4 h c4e4g4b4 ) (-q q c5 3h a4 g4 e4))

Maybe using the windows file explorer to sort...

Both sorting processes can be implemented. It´s common in every operational system, or file explorer. Best, Julio Sometimes, I take a vacancy from using Opusmodus and I have a hard time finding things... Actually, I´m a little crazy, but softwares are also supposed to help crazy people.

Yes, I´m already doing it. But´s it´s a kind of weird hack... But sorting by date in all workspaces is still desirable... Thanks !

I´m using multiple workspace files. A good idea would be to have the possibility to sort the opmo files by date (recent to old and vice versa). Sometimes I have difficulty to find my files (I have too many...). But I´d like to find the ones I worked recently, so a good thing would be to sort by date. Is it possible ? Best, Julio

Dear Etu, The midi works differently in Mac. Actually, Mac can share the midi drivers among different softwares. In Windows, once a midi driver is used by one application, it can´t be used by other application. So, I helped Janusz and the team of programmers to develop a different approach for Windows systems. With this option for selecting inputs and outputs, you can manage to map the midi inputs and outputs to match the best option for your system. For example, I have the hardware controllers input drivers going in the input of Reaper, that also hosts all my sound libraries and other VSTs. From Reaper I configured the output of just my little keyboard midi controller to input in Opusmodus, via the loopback software. In Mac you can map everything using the MIDI/Audio studio configuration inside OSX. All the best, Julio Herrlein

Dear All, I think there is a much needed basic function in Opusmodus: a function to perform diatonic transposition, like (pitch-transpose-to-set (1) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(c4 major)) result: (d4 e4 f4) (pitch-transpose-to-set (2) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(c4 major)) result: (e4 f4 g4) (pitch-transpose-to-set (1) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(d4 major)) result: (cs4 e4 fs4) (pitch-transpose-to-set (2) '(c4 d4 e4) :set '(cs4 whole-tone) :round up) result: (cs4 ds4 f4) It could be also have the possibility of being octave independent in relation to the set, like (pitch-transpose-to-set (1) '(c2 d6 e5) :set '(c4 major) :octave-free t) result: (d2 e6 f5) Actually, the diatonic transposition (or transposition by any other set) is a more sophisticated thing than the simple transposition. And I think that is an essential function for music. I know that is possible to make it via tonality-map but I miss a more easier way to apply the idea over existing material. Best ! P.S. If this function already exist, please let me know.

Dear Cliff, I finished the book in October 2022. Now, it´s in the revision and translation stage, according to Marco and Janusz. Looking forward ! The plan is to release in the same publishing house of the first Opusmodus book. All the best ! Thanks for the interest.
