Thanks once again for your generosity, Stephane!  This was once again a very useful presentation - I am starting to feel less intimidated by the process

Are these available for watching after the stream? I have a really bad connection at the moment and can't attend...

[Stephane Boussuge]

I'm really sorry but it was not possible for me to record the session.

We will try to find a solution for other sessions.

Hi,

I've successfully managend to build a soundset thanks to Stéphanes last Zoom Lesson on last Saturday. Thanks for that!
No I try to invoke the CC Expression Controller, I already found the Controllers 1 score where is a lot of information.
How do I assign the controller movement to certain place in the score, lets say I want to have a violin harmonic, a whole note in bar 5, going from al niente to dal niente, so I need a controller movement like

:controllers
11 '((:asc-desc 0 127 1/32 1)

(a movement from 0 to 127 and back to 0 in the time of 1/1 and in the resolution of 32th notes, right?)
How do I make this movement happen (only) in bar 5?

thanks for an answer,

best

Hi Ole,

 

you could use gen-dynamic-controller function if you want to do this directly from OMN.

 

 Please  look at the documentation of this function.

 

Best wishes

 

Stéphane

I will do that, thanks!

Another quick question arises: When I want to define 2 keyswitches in the soundset file, do I have to use extra brackets?

lyr-leg (:key (e1, e0))

or not:

lyr-leg (:key e1, e0)

Thanks!

[opmo]

This way:

lyr-leg (:key e1 :key e0)

 

 Example with CC:

ho1-portato-short (:key d6 :key c1  cc1 80)

 

There are many examples how-to in the sound set Libraries.

Sorry for being a pain in the neck, but I can't figure out why I get this errorwarning:

> Error: In sound set sq-vsl, program stacc, there is no controller named: cc1
> While executing: %def-sound-set-internal, in process Opusmodus Extension Initialization(5).
> Type cmd-/ to continue, cmd-. to abort, cmd-\ for a list of available restarts.
> If continued: Skip loading OM init file.

My Soundset looks like this (see attachment):

CC was missing:

Thanks a lot for the superquick answer! !

Is this sound-set already part of OM, did I reinvent the wheel??

[o_e]

Thanks again for your patience and help! I made a small piece, which is the result from the zoom session 3:

Hi @Stephane Boussuge,

 

I'm new to OpusModus and the Saturday morning sessions have been great for getting up to speed; thanks!

 

I have been able to apply your lesson on def-sound-set to control Spitfire's bbcso library; hurrah

 

I'm wondering about the def-sound-set plist :group <name> (eg :group strings legato (cc32 0) tremolo (cc32 1) ...).

 

In my def-score, I can use :program '(legato tremolo) but what about the :group <name>?

 

Is there any use of <name> other than perhaps documenting the collection of program assignments?

 

Thanks!

[opmo]

The name is to help your to sort your programs better - kind of index.

In the Library directory (Utilities panel) you find many DEF-SOUND-SET files with many examples of HowTo.

 

DEF-SOUND-SET family functions:

(get-sound-set-program 'vsl-cello 'stacc)
(get-sound-set-program-groups 'gm)
(get-sound-set-controller 'gm 'volume)
(get-sound-set-controller-groups 'gm)

 

[rkylberg]

oh neat; thanks for the reply!

(get-sound-set-program-group 'gm (car (get-sound-set-program-groups 'gm)))
