$0 is a VERY bad idea, as its value can change when reopening the patch, depending on other patches and abstractions already open. You will end up with text files with meaningless unpredictable names
It is great though for keeping messages private within a patch or an abstraction....

Also a $1 in a message box takes the value of the first atom of an incoming list ($2 the second), and is not the value of an argument of the abstraction. $1, $2 etc. only take the arguments of an abstraction when they are in an object box.

You can use a float, or a symbol as an argument.
Symbols can be easier to "follow" though the patch and the text file names, as they carry more meaning.
Give your abstractions its arguments (or just one if the text file name is all you need... $1) ....... [abstr 1 x y woof]...... [abstr 2 z a howl] etc.....
Then use one of them to name the text file to write....... so writing $4.txt would write woof.txt for the first and howl.txt for the second.
Writing $1.txt would write 1.txt for the first and 2.txt for the second....
Writing $2.txt would write x.txt for the first and z.txt for the second....
Etc.
Here is an example........ example.zip
[mother] contains two copies of [abstr]........ [abstr 1] and [abstr 2].
You will see that the 1, or the 2, replace the [$1] value which is then sent to the $1 in the write message.
If you want to use a symbol then replace [$1]... the float object...... with [symbol $1]....... as in the [abstr] example.

Tried using the streamstretch~ abstraction by William Brent (http://williambrent.conflations.com/pages/research.html) recently.

However, when I loading the patch from the associated help file in pd-extended, it won't work. I get the following error messages:

 clone ./lib/streamstretch-buf-writer-abs 100 2415
... couldn't create
 text define $0-streamstretch-chord-text
... couldn't create
 text get $0-streamstretch-chord-text
... couldn't create
 text tolist $0-streamstretch-chord-text
... couldn't create
 text fromlist $0-streamstretch-chord-text
... couldn't create
 clone ./lib/streamstretch-buf-writer-abs 100 1536
... couldn't create

Tried loading the patch in Pd Vanilla and I still get error messages:

 clone ./lib/streamstretch-buf-writer-abs 100 2415
... couldn't create
 clone ./lib/streamstretch-buf-writer-abs 100 1004
... couldn't create

I'm just wondering if anyone else gets the same kinds of error messages when they try to load this abstraction.

Kangtaum.zip

Kangtaum is an attempt at a real-time implementation of the text-to-(Black Metal)music algorithm proposed by Dave Tremblay.

The algorithm was intended for use with Tolkien’s writing; this version will produce a microtonal scriptophonic ‘metal’ composition from any text file that is input. The default is the poem She Bomber by Eliza Gregory, the text currently being converted is output to the Pd window.
_
_
_

Here's how it works:

·The octave is divided in 26 equal steps (26 microtones, one for each letter).

·The ordering of the letters, from low to high, is:
E-O-V-I-Q-C-F-A-J-Z-P-H-B-Y-S-R-K-D-T-L-X-M-N-G-W-U based on their frequency of use in the sample text (Tolkein).

·One letter represents a duration of 1/8th note.

·One comma, parenthesis or semicolon is a ‘tie’ to the last note played (1/8th duration normally) is continued for a ¼.

·A full stop, colon, exclamation or question mark is a pause of 1/8th measure.

·There are three transcription tracks:

1. The melody: It is each letter and punctuation in the text played one after the other.
2. The chords: A chord lasts as long as a word in the melody (for example, a three-letter word will last 3 eights notes, and a nine-letter word will last 9 eights). It's comprised of all the different notes/letters of the word played at once.
3. The bass: The bass track or chord root consists of the first letter of each word played for the duration of the word. For example, the words THAN and NATH have the same notes and length, but the root and melody of the chords will be different).

·Reverberation for the composition is inversely proportional to the size of the current text chunk or sentence being converted into music. The bigger the chunk, the smaller the virtual space.

·The stereo position of the melody is controlled by the length of the word currently being sonified.

·A counterpoint line is generated from a reordering of the current word/chord’s notes from low to high, which is arpeggiated. The balance between melody and counterpoint is controlled by word length. The longer the word the more melody is present.

This isn't a finished patch, i've kind of reached a dead end with it so thought I'd open it up and see if any one else would like to chip in. I'm really interested in developing the synthesis side of things and making it sound more METAL I suppose.
If nothing else, hopefully some of the list processing is useful to someone working to convert text to music. Many thanks to those on the forum that helped me work some of it out or provide solutions.

This is a video of a slightly earlier version:

Here is an example of Dave's music produced with the original algorithm.

Stemming from a different project, I've made a MobMuPlat (MMP) NUMPAD "template" so that numbers may be entered directy (and more Precisely) into MMP instead of selected from siders, knobs, or other controls (which apparently pd can do by just clicking a number field, typing in the number, and pressing ENTER (Thanks, again, @LiamG)

abs_mmp_numpad_template.zip

FEATURES:
Integers and Decimals from 1e-8 to 999999;
m+,m-,rcl: for storing (m+), removing stored number (m-) and recalling numbers (rcl)
cl:clear (but no backspace)

HOW-TO:

To test: in the MMP editor open the "mmp_numpad_template.mmp" file and experiment. (note: it will not start entering decimals until after you click "." and Then the next number). It is associated to the "abs_mmp_numpad_test.pd" which has the template embedded as an abstraction in it. It also has a slider on the second page, to test routing the ENTERed number to different "locations".

To implement:

First embed "abs_mmp_numpad_template.pd" as an abstraction in your MMP's .pd file. It has one outlet: the current value after the NUMPAD's ENTer is clicked and will receive all control signals coming from the NUMPAD.

Next, with a text-editor, open the "numpad-codeblock.jsn" file (or copy it from the code block below);

VERY IMPORTANT!!!: make a backup copy of your own mmp file before doing this.

In the text-editor, open "as-text" your .mmp file (or to experiment, the "pasteJSNtest.mmp" file which I have provided);

Past the numpad_template.jsn codeblock (from the file or the codeblock below), in between the mmp 'gui' brackets, as shown here:

{"backgroundColor":[0.5019608,0.5019608,0.5019608,1.0],"pageCount":1,"port":54321,"isPageScrollShortEnd":false,"startPageIndex":0,"canvasType":"widePhone","gui":[],"isOrientationLandscape":false,"version":1.64}

Once you have pasted it in, save your file, and open it in the MMP Editor.

The control and associated labels will be on the first page. You can move them, resize, etc. as you wish. And no matter where you put it (given its precise field names the entered value will get sent to the "abs_mmp_numpad_template" abstraction.

Sounds like a lot of work. But once you get the hang of it. I think it's well worth the effort: you will be able to have exact control over Any mmp value.

Hope this may be of use to you.

Enjoy. And as a side comment: MMP is by far the fastest development environment I have ever worked in and is excellent as a ProtoTyper (tho admittedly my experience is limited). It works GREAT as an OSC-Controller, too. Daniel has done us all a great service by building it. Additionally kudos, to the PdDroidParty and libPD developers upon whose backbone it is built.

Many Happy Returns,
Scott

@wale-av, the idea is not to have the text editor itself create the qlist-relevant text file that will contain the time marks and what not, but rather to allow the writer to type in, say, Microsoft Word, whilst the keystrokes are also being logged by a separate application, i.e a PD patch. The actual file and subsequent buffer that the text editor uses should be of no importance, is that is not used for anything, but it's rather a matter of convenience for the writer to be able to write as they would otherwise while it logs the text, if i.e the text which is to be used as a qlist-score is a journal entry. The chosen text editor would, so to speak, only be a convenient "front-end" for the task.

Is it really not possible to do this? A sort of send-application, that inputs both the text in the given text editor and another program simultaneously? To split the keyboard input to be active in multiple applications? I know this would create the possibility of mixing up shortcut commands and alike, but since the keys used by the writer should only be what's usually used in writing (no alt/ctrl/cmd + anything), I think it's possible to avoid.

I think I'll be able to write a PD patch that logs every keystroke, as its given (reference?) number in a textfile with a time mark, by using the key and realtime objects.

@liamg, are listtosymbol and moocowexternals not found in PD-Extended? I can't seem to find them.

I'd like to get all this data into Pd somehow.
At some point I'd like to write it to a file and then search through it for the file name that I want. I'm having trouble though. Any ideas?

sorry it took so long to get back. (tour). thank you for taking the time.

i just have [ctlin] going to [ctlout]. but after a few minutes ofplaying, i see lip(cc#18) controlling cc#2 data and cc#2 sending nothing not returning to 0 and notes hanging. my wind controller seems to be working properly. itworks with everything else.

I really appreciate it.

Hi I see that

downmix in [_surroundRouting] may have misconceptions,
(I don't see entire code yet, so I could be wrong)

according ITU-BR:

L = 1L+0.71Ls+0.71C
R = 1L+0.71Rs+0.71C

here i send a external that is part of my research (and therefore may have bugs)

Hi,

I'm getting the same element code for two of the analogue channels on my HID, does anyone have a solution?

Here is the device info that PD is giving me:

TYPE_CODE_________#____EVENT NAME___________

abs abs_x 0 Miscellaneous Input, X-Axis
abs abs_y 0 Miscellaneous Input, Y-Axis
abs abs_z 0 Miscellaneous Input, Z-Axis
abs abs_rx 0 Miscellaneous Input, X-Rotation
abs abs_ry 0 Miscellaneous Input, Y-Rotation
abs abs_rz 0 Miscellaneous Input, Z-Rotation
abs abs_ry 1 Miscellaneous Input, Dial
abs abs_throttle 0 Miscellaneous Input, Slider

I don't have an issue with other software which recognises it as "Dial", which PD is doing, but i can't access this tag...

Thanks!

Yas
