New: the Timebase interface now creates sounds that can be heard via the MIDIjs application. I upgraded the interface, allowing to add as many tracks as needed. You can check the "-tb" file stored in "ctests.zip". Most of them are demos of traditional rhythmic cycles (tala) used by North-Indian musicians. Try "-cs.slowshift" to hear the complexity of patterns that can be produced thanks to "speed ratios" assigned to each track. If played at fast speed this example is a good indication of the time accuracy of the MIDI player. Replacing MIDI notes with sounds on an electronic drum machine will indeed yield a musical content! My plan now is to allow the combination of these rhythmic patterns with musical items supplied via a MIDI file. This is theoretically very easy and will give an idea of the use of time bases in BP. Bernard -------- Dear all, I completed the editor of Timebases that loads/saves "-tb" files. The PHP code (mainly "timebase.php") has been uploaded to https://leti.lt/bolprocessor/ and I also stored a revised set of examples "ctests.zip". Only "-tb" files created by BP2.9.8 are correctly read by the new interface. Therefore I saved again all files available in example sets. Updated versions are in "ctests.zip". Just now, it may not be evident to figure out what these Timebases are about! The interface does not yet produce sounds, nor did BP2.9.8 because it was not correctly scheduling the ticks. They are still audible on MacOS 9 versions and very soon on the PHP interface… Bernard Bel |
