Stephane Boussuge Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I’m always amazed by the incredible power of Opusmodus and the inspiration it give to me to compose and explore new possibilities . Actually, I'm playing and experimenting a bit with OM and orchestra, preparing my next package of video lessons for ComposerWorkshop.com. Today, I've made this output from my experiences, nothing extraordinary but I wanted to share it as an example of what we can make with Opusmodus in about 1h. It's basically only Slonimsky patterns distributed to the orchestra on an heterophonic way with transpositions from Opusmodus bind-to-interval function (set to "0") Stéphane Etude pour Orchestre 040523.wav erka, AM, JimmyTheSaint and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I'm impressed, I'm going to take a private lesson soon... when I understand other OM basics exemple this;-) apparently, ambitus does not work well...I have results below the tenor saxophone range (setf name '(g4 fs4 bb4 d5)(c5 b4 eb5 g5) (fs5 f5 a5 cs6)(bb4 a4 cs5 f5) (g4 fs4 bb4 d5)(e5 eb5 g5 b5)(d5 cs5 f5 a5)(fs5 f5 a5 cs6) (d5 cs5 f5 a5)(g5 fs5 bb5 d6)(cs5 c5 e5 gs5)f5 e5 gs5 c6))) (setf chords (chordize name)) (setf chords.cls (ambitus 'tenor-sax(closest-path chords :start '(bb3fs4g4d5)))) (setf chords.rel (relative-closest-path chords :start '(bb3fs4g4d5) :repeat t)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Boussuge Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Use ambitus function with the desired ambitus like: (setf chords.cls (ambitus '(bb2 eb5) (closest-path chords :start '(bb3fs4g4d5)))) S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 look at my result;-) I also tried same, it's not really the range of saxophone in bass what's wrong ? (setf chords.rel (ambitus 'tenor-sax (relative-closest-path chords :start '(bb3fs4g4d5) :repeat t))) 17 minutes ago, Stephane Boussuge said: Utilisez la fonction ambitus avec l'ambitus souhaité comme : (setf chords.cls (ambitus '(bb2 eb5) (accords du chemin le plus proche : start '(bb3fs4g4d5)))) S you are right stéphane, it is therefore necessary to indicate the ambitus '(bb3 fs6) and not to indicate ambitus tenor-sax! (setf chords.rel (ambitus '(bb3 fs6) (relative-closest-path chords :start '(bb3fs4g4d5) :repeat t))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreOktave Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The lowest note of the tenor-sax is sounding ab2 (middle c = c4), wich is notated in the part for the player as bb3, the tenor sax sounds a 9th lower than written, your score is concert pitch, the lowest note of your example is f3 sounding (written as g4), so no problem for the tenor-player if he/she is performing the lowest voice of your example best AO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 thank you André. You mean when using snippet, the result is in UT? For my part, I want to read directly Snippet without worrying sound, what interests me is the results. I would like to avoid using def-score function...I want to read the results directly in snippet for tenor sax, it is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
