i would like to define my own articulations (because in CONTIMBRE  http://www.contimbre.com  you have lot of possibilities with programm-changes... and for mapping i have to define it properly)

 

:::::::::::::::

 

(setq articulations '(arco -  -  pizz - -));; -> that works fine because ord-omn

(setq articulations '(arco -  -  pizz - - legno-battuto - whatever - - - -  );; -> i would like to write such user-defined expressions

-> is there a possibilty?

 

:::::::::::::::

 

(setq vn (make-omn :length lengths
                   :pitch pitches
                   :articulation articulations)) ;; but here is the omn-error with my own expressions, is there any solution?

 

:::::::::::::::

 

if it would work i could map like this:

(def-sound-set gm-violin
   :programs
  (:group violin 
          arco 40
          legno-battuto 50
          pizz 60
          whatever 70))

 

(def-score example
           (:key-signature 'chromatic
                           :time-signature '(4 4)
                           :tempo '(q 70)
                           :layout (violin-layout 'violin))

  (violin :omn vn
          :channel 1
          :sound 'gm-violin))

 

:::::::::::::::

 

You need to use the define articulations names. You find them all in the "OMN the Language" document.

With + (plus) you can write more then one articulation on a note.

 

Example:

(q c4 legno+batt)

 

and:

(q c4 batt+legno+tasto)

Sound Set:

(def-sound-set gm-violin
   :programs
  (:group violin 
          arco 40
          legno+batt 50
          pizz 60))

 

thank you!!

 

it works with the "define articulations names", but not with "+" = it sends no programm-change (but written "legno battuto" in score...) ?

 

 

You need to setup the DEF-SOUND-SET programs to trigger the program change:

 

(def-sound-set gm-violin
   :programs
  (:group violin 
          arco 40
          legno+batt 50
          pizz 60))

 

If you prefer batt+legno then:

(def-sound-set gm-violin
   :programs
  (:group violin 
          arco 40
          batt+legno 50
          pizz 60))

 

or

(def-sound-set gm-violin
   :programs
  (:group violin 
          arco 40
          legno+batt 50
          batt+legno 50
          pizz 60))

 

legno-batt is defined articulation:

'(((stacc s b3 legno-batt = e e d4 =))
  (-h d5 arco-ord+leg) (h d4 -)
  (h_e c4 legno-tratto -e q f4 tie)
  (h f4 q d4 marc+pizz -))

 

(def-sound-set gm-violin
   :programs
  (:group violin 
          ord 40
          tasto 42
          ponte 44
          pizz 46
          slap 48
          legno-batt 50
          batt+legno 60 ;;; -> no program-change sended
          arco 52))

 

a new question/wish

 

for piano or any special-techniques on any instrument like perhaps: "guirro fingernail" or "hit the conductor!" :-), i would like to write this as a articulation/technique-name (like now pizz..).. so that i could map it with (def-sound-set..)

 

thanx!

andré

Please send me a list of articulation and technique names you would like to add to the system.

I will see what I can do :-)

Combine attributes (sound set name & program change) is fixed already and will be part of the next release.

so,

 

Quote

(...) guirro fingernail" or "hit the conductor!"

 

will be possible as technique/program-change? :-)

 

If we add the names to the attributes then yes :-)
