Thank you so much Stephane for your tremendous support with these sessions.

Thanks so much, Stephane. It's been fantastic watching your sessions and learning more about Opusmodus. I have a quick question about the first part of your presentation, namely about the piece Craft.

 

Whenever I evaluate setf mel, I get every so slightly different melody. I even adjusted the setf path function by including the new '(octave) variable:

(setf path (tonality-series modes :map '(octave) :root roots)) 

 

Although, after watching your explanation in the video, I'm not sure if using 'octave affects the output or not.

 

I attached the screenshots of three separate compilations; each produces an almost exact melody with only a few different notes. Is that because of the built-in randomness, in tonality-series or tonality-map?

 

I understand that there's a way always to get the same output by using :seed. Would you happen to have any suggestions on how to implement it in the given context, especially when the init-seed is already used?

 

Many thanks!

Yes, it is because the randomness in tonality-map process call randomly the parameter up or down in the :closest option.

 

You can fix this by setting up or down explicitly:

 

(setf path (tonality-series modes :map '(octave) :root roots :closest '(up)))
