Dear All, 

 

Is there some way to make a ps score with drums (or other instrument) just for hearing but not appearing in the score ?

In Def-Score is possible.

Is there some kind of layout like "empty-layout" to be used in PS ?

Something like

 

(def-instrument-set vst-wind
                      :instruments
    (:group wind4tet ;optional
            :vst-flt (:layout empty-layout
                            :port "WIFmidi01" 
                            ;here is the midi port name of your system. You can get the name using the (midi-destinations) function
                            :channel 2
                            :pan (pan 40)
                            :volume 90
                            )

 

Thanks a lot !

Best,

Julio

The def-instrument-set needs to be set correctly for each instrument. There are no empty layouts 🙂

I addend a new keyword :audition into the PS function.

When :output is set to :audition no midi player or notation viewer will display - just audio.

 

Example:

(ps 'gm :sq (list vn1 vn2 vla vlc) :tempo 68 :output :audition)

 

def-score is more flexibile for it - no layout needed.

Thanks, Janusz

These keywords are already implemented in Opusmodus or will be implemented in the next release ?

Best,

(ps 'gm :sq (list vn1 vn2 vla vlc) :tempo 68 :output :audition)

What is the solution if I need only the vn1 and vn2 with staves and vla and vlc just sounding without staves ?

Can it be done in PS form ?

 

Thanks a lot !

Best,

Julio

Yes, but I really enjoy more the workflow of PS, because it´s quick and easy to evaluate.

So, a sort of "empty-layout" would solve my need.

 

Thanks a lot !

Hello! If there are no empty layouts, how would we work with custom instruments using def-score if there are no empty layouts?

 

For example if I want to send midi to a DAW to use VST instruments and functionality but keep the instruments legible and clear in my OM score, which layout would I use? Bracket-group? Let's say I want to use a pad, polysynth, monosynth, kick, snare, modularsynth. I'm assuming bracket group is best but I'm not sure how to resolve 'right-hand 'left-hand with an instrument name like monosynth or polysynth. Perhaps  (piano-layout  'polysynthl 'polysynthr)?

 

This works and I'm happy with it but if there's any caveats in what I'm doing please let me know.

Hi Tom,

 

to output midi, you don't need any layout, you can do this.
