Hi, 

here's  some example of pitch generation.

Naturally, Opusmodus have infinite possibilities and it is just few example of possible way of pitch generation.

;;; SOME (FEW) IDEAS FOR PITCH GENERATION
;;; SB. 09/2016

;; FROM VECTORS
(setf vect1 (gen-white-noise 32 :seed 33))
(setf p1 (vector-to-pitch '(a3 a5) vect1))

;; SMOOTHED VECTOR
(setf vect2 (vector-smooth 0.02 vect1))
(setf p2 (vector-to-pitch '(a3 a5) vect2))

;; without direct repetition
(setf p2b (filter-repeat 1 p2))

; see also gen-accumulate and other vectors (pink-noise, brownian etc..).

;;; ======================================
;; RANDOM-CHOICES
(setf p3 (rnd-sample '(4 3 7 8 4 5) (list (make-scale 'c3 24)) :seed 12))

;; without repetition
(setf p4 (rnd-unique '(4 3 7 8 4 5) (gen-repeat 6 (list (make-scale 'c3 24))) :seed 12))

;;; ======================================
;; PITCH FROM INTEGERS
(setf int1 (rnd-sample '(8 4 7 3) (list (gen-integer 16))))
(setf p5 (integer-to-pitch int1))

;; COOL FOR ARPEGIOS
(setf int2b (gen-integer-step  0 32 '(1 1 2)))
(setf int2 (gen-integer-step  0 32 (rnd-sample 6 '(1 2 3 4 -1 -2 -3 -4))))
(setf p6 (integer-to-pitch int2))

;;; ======================================
;; PITCH FROM INTERVALS
(setf intv1 (interval-direction-series 
             '(1 2 3) '(1 2 1 (2 1)) :first 'd))

(setf p7 (interval-to-pitch intv1))

(setf intv2 (interval-series '(3 2 1 2 3) '(1 2 3) :seed 34))
(setf p8 (interval-to-pitch intv2))

(setf intv3 (interval-expansion-series 
             10 '(1 -1 2 -2) '(1 2 3) '(-6 -5 3 4) :max-interval 6))

(setf p9 (interval-to-pitch intv3))

;; extend the first element of intv3 with a matrix
(setf intv4 (interval-row-matrix (1~ intv3)))
(setf p10 (interval-to-pitch intv4))

;; PITCH DIRECTION SERIES EXAMPLE
(setf p11 (pitch-direction-series 
	 '(2 2 2 2 2)
	 '(c4g4 c4g4 c4g4 c4g4 c4g4 c4g4 c4g4 c4g4 c4g4)
	 :first 'd :ambitus '(-12 24)))

(setf p11-each-in-list (mclist p11))
(setf p11-melodized (melodize p11-each-in-list))

(setf p11-chordized (chordize p11-melodized))

;;; ======================================
;; EXTRACT CHORDS (SETS) FROM ROW
(setf row (rnd-row :type :pitch :transpose 4 :seed 783))

;; GEN-CHORD
(setf p12 (gen-chord 24 3 6 -6 6 row :seed 42))

;; longer output
(setf p13 (gen-chord 24 3 6 -6 6 (gen-trim 64 row) :seed 42))

;; create sets
(setf p14 (melodize (mclist p13)))

;; GEN-CHORD2
(setf p15 (gen-chord2 32 '(3 6 5) row))
(setf p16 (gen-chord2 32 '(3 6 5) row :offset '(2 1 3 2 4)))
(setf p17 (gen-chord2 32 '(3 6 5) row :offset '(2 1 3 2 4) :transpose (rnd-number 8 -6 6 :seed 4)))
(setf p18 (gen-chord2 32 '(3 6 5) row :offset '(2 1 3 2 4) :transpose (rnd-number 8 -6 6 :seed 4) :rnd-octaves t))

;; control the output
(setf p19 (chord-interval-remove '(1 2) p17))
(setf p20 (chord-interval-replace '(1 2) '(13 14) p17))

;; voice leading
(setf p21 (chord-relative-path '(c2c3g3e4a4d5) p20 :seed 31 :ambitus '(c2 c6)))
(setf p22 (chord-closest-path '(c2c3g3e4a4d5) p20 :seed 31 :ambitus '(c2 c6)))

;; GEN-CHORD3
(setf p23 (gen-chord3 (rnd-sample 12 (make-scale 'c3 11) :seed 2) '((4 2 5)(3 5 11)(4 6 10)) :cycle t))
(setf p24 (gen-chord3 (rnd-sample 12 (make-scale 'c3 11) :seed 2) '((4 2 5)(3 5 11)(4 6 10)) :cycle t))
(setf p25 (gen-chord3 (rnd-sample 12 (make-scale 'c3 11) :seed 2) '((4 2 5)(3 5 11)(4 6 10)) :cycle nil))
(setf p26 (gen-chord3 (rnd-sample 12 (make-scale 'c3 11) :seed 2) '((4 2 5)(3 5 11)(4 6 10)) :cycle t :relative t :seed 4))

;;; ======================================
;; HARMONIC-PROGRESSION
(setf p27 (harmonic-progression
           (integer-transpose -1 '(1 1 1 3 1 2 4 3 1 1 3 4 5 6 5 3 1 -2 -2 1 1))
           row
           ))

;; HARMONIC-PROGRESSION FROM SCALES

(setf p28 (harmonic-progression
           (integer-transpose -1 '(1 1 1 3 1 2 4 3 1 1 3 4 5 6 5 3 1 -2 -2 1 1))
           '(d4 messiaen-mode5)
           :size '(4 3 5)
           :step '(2 1 3 2)
           ))

;; HARMONIC-PROGRESSION FROM SCALES with relative path
(setf p28 (harmonic-progression
           (integer-transpose -1 '(1 1 1 3 1 2 4 3 1 1 3 4 5 6 5 3 1 -2 -2 1 1))
           '(d4 messiaen-mode5)
           :size '(4 3 5)
           :step '(2 1 3 2)
           :relative t
           :seed 33
           ))

;; create sets of pitches from p28
(setf p28b (melodize (mclist p28)))

;; Melodic material from random order of each set
(setf p28c (rnd-order p28b :seed 4))

Happy Opusmodusing !!

Good examples!
