Error: there is no controller named: cc20


Recommended Posts

I would like to define a new sound set to control a particular setting of the virtual organ GrandOrgue (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ourorgan/), a very nice and flexible pipe organ simulator. After investing quite some amount of time I now got some setting that allows me to nicely control GrandOrgue from Sibelius, and I would like to reproduce that control in Opusmodus. For that, I need to send certain CC messages and program change messages depending on articulations in the score. For example, I use articulations like 'I', to set the current staff to the organ division I (usually main) or 'II" for the division II (swell).

 

Now, I might be simply missing something obvious here (e.g., a typo), but I keep getting error messages like the following when evaluating my sound set below this message, but I cannot find out what I am doing wrong. 

 

> Error: In sound set grandorgue-organ, program ped, there is no controller named: cc20

 

Can anyone perhaps see what I am missing here? Thanks a lot! 

 

Best,

Torsten

I see -- they need to be declared in in the :controllers section. Thanks a lot! 

 

I now got it almost working. Below is my current sound set again. I had to simplify the combination symbols to I1, I2 etc (the former underscore was confusing the OMN parser).


What is missing still is support for combining articulations like II+II2 (i.e., use division II with combination 2 of that division). I can have combinations like stacc+II or leg+II2, but II+II2 is only notated, the playback does not work.

 

Here are two examples. The first one works fine, but is not actually what I need.

 

'((q c4 stacc+II) (e c4 leg d4 stacc e4 II4+leg f4 stacc) (q g4 marc -q -h))

 

The second example demonstrates the problem.

 

 '((q c4 II+II2) (e c4 leg d4 stacc e4 II4+leg f4 stacc) (q g4 marc -q -h))

 

Specifically, whether I notate II+II2 or II2+II, II is executed, but II2 is not. The later II4+leg again triggers the combination 4 fine. 

 

I had a look at a resulting exported MIDI file, and indeed in the combination II+II2 the CC message for II is output, but the program change message for II2 is not. If II2 or one of its friends is used independently or in a combination like stacc+II2 it does work, though.

 

Is there perhaps some bug in the sound set definition here that only kicks in when user-defined articulations are combined? 

 

Thanks again! 

 

Best,

Torsten

 

PS: I only define support for predefined combinations of stops instead of stops directly for multiple reasons. This is more easy to define (less symbols overall), and is independent of specific organs or chosen stop combinations -- I can change the registration (combinations of stops used at certain moments) and even the organ without changing the score (generation).
