Dear All I'm studying some 4-note cells for Coltrane like jazz patterns from a video lesson of saxophonist Chad Lefkowitz-Brown. The idea is to use a limited number of cells (no more than 10, some diatonic and some chromatic) to create longer lines, like the line below. 1) The idea is to connect the same fragments with different transpositions, adjusting the transpositions according to the construction of the line. I need a code where I can experiment the order and the transpositions of the fragments to create a longer line. Sometimes I can have two times the same pattern with different transposition. 2) The possibility to rotate fragments would be interesting also. 3) Lastly: a random assembling that automatically adjust the transpositions, in a way that each new fragment starts exactly a semitone up or down the preceeding fragment, making a cohesive line. Any help is welcome !! Looking forward to PLAY this patterns on the guitar and record some Videos (where I can mention Opusmodus, of course !) Best ! Julio I tried the form below, but I'm not very happy with that. (setf xa (pitch-fragment 1 4 '(g4 gb4 f4 g4) :transpose '(0)) xb (pitch-fragment 2 3 '(c4 cs4 fs4) :transpose '(0 1 2 1)) xc (pitch-fragment 2 3 '(c4 cs4 fs4) :transpose '(0 1 2 1)) xd (pitch-fragment 2 3 '(c4 cs4 fs4) :transpose '(0 1 2 1)) xe (pitch-fragment 1 3 '(g4 g4 g4) :transpose '(0 1 2 1)) xf (pitch-fragment 4 3 '(c4 c4 c4) :transpose '(0 0 7 2))) (setf seq '(f a e)) (assemble-section 'x seq) (setf jazzline (flatten (assemble-section 'x seq))) (setf rhyjazz (gen-repeat 50 '(s))) (make-omn :length rhyjazz :pitch jazzline) These are not the actual fragments, just some ideas do debug the code...

This is for generating some jazz licks in the style of the LINEAR EXPRESSIONS, by jazz guitarist PAT MARTINO. The rhythm slots of the example contain the same 16th value, but it can be worked out as Rhythmic Cells. I was testing straight 16th lines. https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Expressions-Pat-Martino/dp/1423460898/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539901867&sr=8-1&keywords=linear+expression+martino ;;; PAT MARTINO LINEAR Expressions Lick Generator JAZZ IDIOMS (setf r0 '(s) r1 '(s s s s) r2 '(s s s s s s s s) r3 '(s s s s) r4 '(s s s s) r5 '(s s s s s s s s) r6 '(s s s s s s s s) r7 '(s s s s s s s s) r8 '(s s s s s s s s) r9 '(s s s s s s s s) r10 '(s s s s s s s s)) (setf p0 '(g3 a3 bb3 c4 cs4 d4 f4 d4) p1 '(e4 fs4 g4 a4 c5 a4 bb4 d5) p2 '(f5 a5 ab5 e5 g5 f5 e5 d5) p3 '(c5 a4 bb4 d5 a4 bb4 a4 g4) p4 '(a3 bb3 d4 f4 a4 bb4 a4 ab4) p5 '(g4 a4 bb4 c5 d5 f5 a5 c6) p6 '(bb5 d5 f5 a5 g5 gb5 f5 g5) p7 '(e5 f5 e5 d5 c5 a4 g4 a4) p8 '(d4 e4 fs4 a4 fs4 g4 a4 c5) p9 '(a4 bb4 d5 f5 a5 bb5 a5 ab5) p10 '(g5 f5 d5 ds5 e5 g5 bb5 d6)) (setf v0 '(f) v1 '(mp) v2 '(f) v3 '(pp) v4 '(p f mf) v5 '(fff) v6 '(fff) v7 '(mf) v8 '(p) v9 '(f) v10 '(ff)) (setf sec (gen-repeat 10 (rnd-unique 12 '(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) ))) (setf r-list (assemble-section 'r sec)) (setf p-list (assemble-section 'p sec)) (setf v-list (assemble-section 'v sec)) (setf phrases (make-omn :length r-list :pitch p-list :velocity v-list)) (def-score collage (:key-signature 'atonal :time-signature '(2 4) :tempo 144 :layout (piano-grand-layout 'piano)) (piano :omn phrases :channel 1 :sound 'gm :program 0) )

Bonjour, Lors d'une recherche dans la librairie d'Opusmodus, il me semble que j'avais trouvé toute la liste des accords en notation "jazz" en Do pouvant-être associée au mot clé :rotate pour les renversements. Mais je ne la retrouve plus. Aurais-je confondu avec le document "Accords noms" qui propose une liste plus limitée d'accords ? Merci d'avance. Didier Hello, During a search in the library of Opusmodus, I think I found the whole list of rating chords "jazz" in C that can be associated with the keyword :rotate to inversion/rotation. But I found the most. Would I confused with the document "Accords noms" which offers a more limited list of chords? Thank you in advance. PS : Sorry for my bad english.
