Re: The Problem with Film Music, Part II

Some random thoughts: Some people think that film music should not draw the attention and just add color/mood/atmosphere. A very different style from the Danny Elfman era of movies but not by definition worse. Minimal music has risen to popularity also outside the film world so I guess it has some m...

Re: [ANN] TxModular 087

But could anyone explain exactly how you installed it? In addition to what I wrote above, I can now add this: - it is indeed needed to install the sc3 plugins - it is also needed to install the wslib quark. To do so, evaluate the following line in scide: Quarks.gui and click the checkbox next to &q...

Re: [ANN] TxModular 087

But could anyone explain exactly how you installed it? Which version of supercollider have you installed? I think you need at least version 3.8. You can get the latest version here: https://supercollider.github.io/download. Although I'm not entirely certain it is really needed, I think you best als...

Re: Some NBO feedback

- i made a quick'n dirty "safe_unzip" utility in python that extracts every .zip file in its own directory to get rid of the unzip problem. For what it's worth it's located on github: https://github.com/shimpe/safe_unzip (it requires python 3, and depends on argparseui and PyQt4). Use at y...

Re: what I like in a MIDI sequencer

Without investigating all existing systems, here are a few of my "dream features". "must" haves (i'm in no position to make demands, but it's a "dream" anyway): 1. select block of notes (in one or more tracks) and even out the volume changes (kind of low pass filter on ...

Re: Why learn music theory?

In my opinion, music theory is not only very useful, it's also incredibly fascinating (yes, really!), and it greatly expands your toolbox of techniques to apply. While it's true that rules originally may be derived from analyzing the works of composers (descriptive), it's also true that new music in...

Re: real-time harmonization of your voice in supercollider

Hi Spencer, good to see you. If we'd replace the secondary audio source with a MIDI instrument (e.g. keyboard) it should be quite similar to what is available now already - barring some implementation details I'll have to think about. Sounds like a nice feature to try and implement in the new year (...

real-time harmonization of your voice in supercollider

Here's something I've had too much fun with the past 2 days. The idea is this: you sing (or whistle, play, ...) monophonic notes into a microphone, and the computer in (nearly) real-time adds pitch-shifted versions of your singing as to create a polyphonic choir piece. Each note can be harmonized di...
