Hallo, newbie here I'm just starting with OM and playing around with the tutorials. I slightly changed tutorial #4 and run into something strange. If i run the script as posted below, all works as expected. But when i change the function reverse to nreverse (and nreverse is the oficially documented name of the function) the omn result will leave the right hand empty. Why ist that? And why does reverse work as i expect it to work? And, another thing: i dont understand what the term seed will do. Will it make random functions behave always the sam

Hello I'm new here. I'm on the demo and doing fine but for the life of me I can't figure out what the n integer does after :seed? I know seed fixes a random function so it is repeatable but what does that number do? I tried changing it in Tutorial 5 but I can't make sense of it! Thanks Andy

Hi I'm starting to loose the will to progress. So I just spent an hour trying to evaluate this and getting errors and thinking I'd got the wrong number of brackets and yet it looks fine. (setf motifx12 (rnd-order (gen-repeat 12 (list motif)))) :seed3) And then I realise that I have to place the cursor not on the final bracket but on the one before :seed3) Nowhere does it say this in the manual as far as I can tell. And why? I think it's something to do with the : colon that I don't understand in the language. And I still don't understand seed.

Here is a suggestion for posting the random seed value used by a function. When using Open Music way back in time I remember that you could "lock" a random function if you liked the result, which IMO was a great workflow feature. Perhaps a similar thing could be achived in Opusmodus if the random seed used for a function was posted to the post window in addition to the result of the evaluation. If you like the result of a particular seed you could then manually "lock" the randomization using the :seed keyword for the function: ; first try different randomizations (set

When working with Opusmodus, it is very common to run many times a script containing some random process and you may want to keep and redo the last output for refine it or whatever. It can be also good to save multiples output from a script with an index number attached to the output name. In this post, i will show you how to achieve this two technics. 1.Seed record: The first operation is to generate randomly a seed value and bind it to a variable: (setf my-seed (rnd-range 1 10000)) Pass it to the init-seed function (init-seed my-seed) Now you can ev -
To add a SEED to your own function and make it work you need to follow three simple rules: Add keyword SEED into the function arguments. (rnd-seed seed) should be placed at the beginning of the function. Nested functions that use seed need to use a (seed) function and not a seed argument. Example: (defun rnd-number (n low high &key seed) (do-verbose ("rnd-number") (rnd-seed seed) (if (zerop n) nil (cons (round (+ low (rnd-round 0 (- high low) :seed (seed)))) (rnd-number (decf n) low high :seed (seed)))
