Re: [Bluemusic-users] render to disc issue on blue

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Ah yes, that should be for Disk Render settings! :)  Otherwise, very
glad that things are working there now.

As for the performance, 2-3 minutes seems a lot!  Are you using
ksmps=1 with Disk and perhaps a higher one for realtime?  I do this
with my projects to get the highest fidelity when rendering to disk
but some things I run in realtime do take a lot longer than the
duration of the output (though, your case seems quite a bit much).  I
haven't been using the render to disk much though within blue, as I
have an automated build process that generates CSD, runs Csound, then
converts to FLAC, OGG, and MP3.  I'll try to remember to look at the
disk rendering, but if it slips through just file a bug report and
I'll be sure to look again.

Thanks!
steven

[andriatheo <andriatheo@ho...>]

hey Steven,

Thanks for your reply!!! 

I ve tried the settings on the realtime render and nothing changed. Although
when I did the same thing on the Disk Render tab it worked fine even if it
takes almost 2-3 minutes to render a sample of 15secs! 

Thank you for your help!!

Re: [Bluemusic-users] render to disc issue on blue

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi Andria,

Welcome!

My guess here is that the default setting for the Realtime Render
properties is off, specifically "/usr/local/bin/csound".  I'm assuming
you're on Windows from the "C:\" in the command. Could you try going
into the Tools->Options, then to the blue tab, then Realtime Render
settings.  From there, try modifying the commandline. You could try
first using just "csound" which I think will work on Windows.  If that
doesn't, you could try using the button to the right of the
commandline to navigate the filesystem and choose the csound
executable.

One thing I don't remember at the moment is if render to disk always
uses commandline csound or uses the API.  My guess inn what is
happening here is that when rendering in realtime, you may be using
the Csound API option, which doesn't really look at that executable
command.  If this is the case, I can try to fix things for next
release so that if the API is selected, it is used for both realtime
and disk renders.

Let me know how that goes and I can further assist if you're still
running into problems.

Thanks and good luck!
steven

Re: [Bluemusic-users] I'm new to blue

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi Michael,

In a new project, to create an instrument go to the Orchestra Tab (or
open that tab from the Windows menu if it's not open).  Next use the
"+" button in the upper left area to add an instrument.  Probably best
to start with GenericInstrument which uses just Csound code.  Write
your code in the code area, without using instr and endin lines. Those
are supplied by blue, as blue generates the instrument ID according
the value in the table in the  upper left.

To use the PianoRoll, first read the manual to understand template strings:

http://blue.kunstmusik.com/manual/html/pianoRoll.html

On the score timeline, right-click on a SoundObject layer and choose
PianoRoll to add it to the timeline.  After that, you'll want to
configure the template in the PianoRoll's Properties tab. Then back on
PianoRoll Canvas, you can draw in notes using shift-click/drag.

Hopefully that's enough to get you started.  One thing you might want
to do is open up the
blue/examples/general/patternLayersGroupExample.blue file.  That
project is the one I used in the video I posted recently and has some
piano rolls in the bottom SoundObject LayerGroup.  You can try muting
the other layers, then experimenting with that PianoRoll to get some
experience using it.

Good luck!
steven

[Bluemusic-users] render to disc issue on blue

[andriatheo <andriatheo@ho...>]

hey guys,

first time im writting here

well
I have an issue when I choose Render to Disc and I get this message on the
Csound (disk)

Began Exec(/usr/local/bin/csound -+msg_color=false --format=wav:short -R -d 
-m135  -o "C:\shakerattle.wav" "C:\tempCsd708704532037639611.csd").
Ended Exec(/usr/local/bin/csound -+msg_color=false --format=wav:short -R -d 
-m135  -o "C:\shakerattle.wav" "C:\tempCsd708704532037639611.csd").

Everything works fine on realtime and I ve got sound
I ve been using the instruments for a year now and its the first time I ve
got this problem.

any suggestions?

[Bluemusic-users] I'm new to blue

[Michael Sparks <michaelsparks37@gm...>]

I've been introduced to Csound with "The Csound Book" by MIT press. I
learned more about the basics with Jim Aikin's "Csound Power!" this year.
I've been trying to learn Csound ever since 2002.

I'm new to blue and I haven't created a single sound with it. How do I
create and play instruments in blue using the piano roll, which i never
used?

[Bluemusic-users] blue 2.3.0 Video

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi All,

I've posted a video discussing some of the new features in blue 2.3.0:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2QkPMP0Rrc&feature=channel&list=UL

I've created a playlist for blue videos so new videos I post will get
added there.  I'm getting the swing of making these screencasts, so
hopefully will get better as I do more of them. :)

As for this particular video, it covers three main features from
2.3.0: pattern layerGroups, python console, and UDO group pasting.  If
you watch the video, you'll also find that I found some bugs. :P  As
mentioned on the blue list, I'm planning a new release next week to
fix up some other bugs I found as well as introduce a new feature.

Thanks!
steven

[Bluemusic-users] Status

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone knew I am working on replacing the text editor
in blue with something more featureful. On thing I am planning on is a new
autocompletion that will show the csound documentation for an opcode in a
popup window.I have a prototype going for auto completion already,and hope
to make some headway on the syntax coloring (requires writing some
parsers). Other than that I found a bug we here automations were not
correctly generating for time when the API is on and rendering from a time
other than zero.

I hope to have these things completed by early next week as I have workshop
to give next Friday.

Thanks!
Steven

Re: [Bluemusic-users] blue 2.3.0

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi Jan Jacob,

I don't imagine any problems.  if you want to be sure though, you may
want to make an extra copy of your ~/.blue directory before running.
I expect though that there should not be problems.

Thanks!

Dear Steven,

thanks for the info. The link now works again! I was a bit afraid,  
that my Csound 5.14 might be not sufficient but now I do see, Java 1.6  
is (like before) the only minimum requirement. So I can see no reason  
that would hinder me from upgrading. great!

All the best,

Re: [Bluemusic-users] blue 2.3.0

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi Jan Jacob,

Thanks for letting me know about the manual. I did some work yesterday
to redirect the wiki to the blue manual page and in that process I
deleted the manual from the online site.  I have restored that now so
that links should work.  What requirement are you curious about?
Right now the limitation is Java 6 or higher and having Csound
installed.

Thanks!
steven

Re: [Bluemusic-users] blue 2.3.0

[Jan Jacob Hofmann <jjh@so...>]

Dear Steven,

this all really sounds amazing! I would like to check the manual first  
for the system requirements etc. before I do upgrade, but the link to  
the manual seems not to work for me - neither the one you mailed nor  
the link from kunstmusik.com to the manual. Could you please check?

Anyway, I 'm veeeery courious.

All the best & thanks so much for all of that work of yours,

Jan Jacob

[Bluemusic-users] blue 2.3.0

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi All,

I'm happy to announce that blue 2.3.0 is now available at:

http://blue.kunstmusik.com

The big change for this release is the introduction of LayerGroups.
LayerGroups are plugins that provide types of layers.  Blue's
SoundObject system is now one kind of layer; this release introduces a
new PatternLayer for using a SoundObject as the basis of pattern score
editing. Pattern LayerGroups allow drawing directly on the timeline on
a pattern grid to denote where the SoundObject plays.  A screen shot
and documentation can be found at:

http://blue.kunstmusik.com/manual/html/scoreTimeline.html

This release also adds a new Python Console, updates to PMask, as well
numerous bug fixes. I have also closed down the Wiki and returned to
using Docbook for documentation; releases now include both a PDF and
HTML version of the documentation.

For 2.4.0, I will be working on an Audio LayerGroup type.  The planned
LayerGroup will allow doing DAW type work and will work together with
blue's Mixer system.  I am also starting to do some coding experiments
for making blue operate more fully in realtime, such that score
modifications, instrument modifications, and audio graph modifications
will happen in realtime.  Some of this work can be done already, while
others will require changes planned in Csound6.  I am planning to work
on this concurrently with 2.4.x though I think it will take some time
before this will be complete.  The realtime changes for blue are
planned for 3.0.0.

Also for 2.4.0, I am planning on restructuring and continuing to fill
out the manual.  Depending on how long the realtime work takes, 2.5,
2.6, etc. will continue with new layer group types planned per
release.  I am also designing blueLive changes that will take
advantage of the new layerGroup types as they develop.

ChangeLog is listed below.

Thanks and enjoy!
steven



[CHANGE LOG]

>Notes for 2.3.0<
[released 2012.11.14]

NEW

* Modular Timeline:

  * Layer Groups are now modular (plug-ins)

  * New LayerGroups: SoundObject (based on previous Score system), Pattern

  * (Please read manual entry for Score, sub-section Layer Groups for more
  information)

  * patternsLayerGroupExample.blue added to examples/general

* Added "Search Csound Manual" option in Help menu to allow searching online
  Csound Manual using search terms (i.e. "guard point"); uses Google search

* New Python Console window, allows console-interaction with current python code
  for inspection and experimentation

* Added Steven Yi's "The Living Ocean" to the examples/pieces/stevenYi folder

* Python: for Orchestra Library, added possibility to pass in either noteList or
  function that will generate a noteList(partials work too) to PerformerGroup's
  perform method.  If a noteList is passed in, that same list will get
  distributed to each Performer to perform. If a function or partial is passed
  in, it will be called to generate a new noteList for each Performer to
  perform.  Note: the function or partial should be a no-arg method, so use of
  partials (from functools) is useful here to fix args before passing in a
  function.

* Python: PMask, added FuncGen and CombiGen Generators (in pmask/generator.py),
  useful for mixing in functional-style work with Generators.  From
  py doc for the classes:

  * FuncGen: Generator that acceptors one generator and one single-arg function.
    Evaluation will call the passed-in generator, then apply the function to the
    generator. Useful with lambdas and partials for the passed in function.

  * CombiGen: Generator that acceptors two generators and one two-arg function.
    Evaluation will call valueAt on the two generators, then pass the results to
    the two-arg function for further processing. Useful with lambdas and
    partials for the passed in function.

* VirtualKeyboard: added keyboard shortcuts when keyboard is in focus:

    * up/down: increment or decrement octave
    * shift-up/shift-down: increment or decrement channel

* Debian/Ubuntu: blue starter script in blue/bin is now pre-setup to use the API
  when Csound is installed through apt-get

UPDATED

* Updated to Jython 2.5.3

* Modified UserDefinedOpcode List tables:

  * allow selection of multiple UDO's for copying and pasting

  * can now copy UDO Categories from the UDO Library manager and paste into list
  tables; all UDO's from that category and subcategory will be pasted into the
  target table (useful for keeping a group of UDO's together to paste into new
  instruments)

* can now drag and drop UDO Category from the UDO Library to a UDO Table

* SoundObjectProperties Window:

  * When editing SoundObject name, now updates as you type

  * When SoundObjectProperties windows becomes focused (selecting the window,
  pressing F3, using window menu), name textfield requests focus; makes it
  easier to edit SoundObjectName or tab down to other fields

* Manual:

  * closed the online Wiki and migrated back to using Docbook

  * release once again includes HTML and PDF versions of the manual
  (located in blue/manual folder or blue.app/manual)

  * Blue Manual link from Help menu points to HTML version of manual

FIX

* Auditioning SoundObjects would cause a crash of program due to unnecessary
  deleting of Csound Object

* Command-line compiling option for compiling .blue to CSD files was always
  reporting exit code 1 and error, even when compile was done correctly

* Using "Paste" and "Paste as PolyObject" were incorrectly pasting soundObjects
  using the x-coordinate as the time value, i.e. instead of pasting at time 4
  it might paste at time 80 if it was 20 pixels per second

* CommandlineRunner - modified how commandline runner stops Csound to prevent
  hanging csound processes on Linux

* UDO - When dragging from the library to a UDO list table, was allowing move
  option, when it should only allow copying

* when creating new UDO's, name now defaults to "newOpcode" rather than
  "New Opcode", as the latter is not a valid UDO name

* BSB - When API is not enabled, BSBDropdown should still generate with index
  value instead of dropdown item's value if automation is set to enabled

* when opening projects that had temp files, do not add the temp file to the
  recent projects list

* TrackerObject

  * made shortcut for ctrl-space and ctrl-shift-space also use control instead
  of command key on OSX to avoid issue with spotlight shortcut

  * fixed track editor sizing

  * fixed issue with OFF notes being editable, causing issues with not allowing
  moving past those notes with arrow keys. OFF notes can now only be cleared
  with ctrl-shift-space or a new note entered by using keyboard shortcut keys

  * changed backspace shortcut to shift-backspace, due to interfering when
  editing values

INTERNAL

* replaced passing of SoundObjectLibrary when saving/loading, now uses
  Map<String, Object> on load and Map<Object,String> on save, where object is
  a SoundObject and String is a uniqueId; make saving/loading generic and
  removes dependency on SoundObjectLibrary

[Bluemusic-users] Update on 2.3.0

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi All,

Just another update about 2.3.0.  The manual migration back to Docbook is
taking a bit longer than originally expected.  One of the things that's
been rather involved is the updating of the Score section for the new
LayerGroup concept.  Also, I am seeing how very out of date parts of the
manual have become, and I'm in the process of trying to reorganize and
update it.  I think though that the task is quite big, so I am planning a
stop gap measure for the 2.3.0 release to have things partially updated,
and am planning on a bigger updating of the manual afterwards.

Estimating end of week for a 2.3.0 release.

Thanks!
steven

[Bluemusic-users] Notice: blue Wiki will be down

[Steven Yi <stevenyi@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am currently working on migrating the Wiki back to Docbook.  While this
is going on, I've made the wiki password protected.  This is because I
think I have had some hackers using my server recently and I suspect they
might have gone through MediaWiki.  I hope to get the documentation updated
soon, and when done, will upload it for online reading.  I will add a
redirect from the wiki URL to go to the updated manual page once complete.

Thanks!
steven
