Wonderful stuff Tinga!! I'm amazed
Sorry, i didnt mention i was asking mainly for peer ctrl event and now i see how it is working. You need to use ' = note param first for activate off value in peer ctr event. Now it works like a charmIXix wrote:Not quite sure what you mean by that.

I have this message also and can't load BTDSys PeerCtrl. BTDSys PAL2 is on its place since years and everything was working, but i switched some time ago from Win7 to Win10. What else i can do?thOke wrote:You are missing BTDSys PAL2.dll in Buzz\Gear\temporalsounds wrote: Just don't know what does it mean 'Show PAL'.... this shows me:
Maybe I have something wrong.
i think (some/all?) newer BTDSys machines need it.
Either this is poorly-explained, or I'm missing something obvious, or this is bugged.TFM wrote:Chord start/end '{' and '}' Place a comma separated list of intervals between the curly braces to define a chord. Root note is 1 so a major triad is {1,5,8}. Chord definitions like this can also contain predefined chord names as part of the chord.
Did you added tracks (same line than "target machine", "0-3" for a 4 notes chord)? you have also to add tracks to the targeted machine, sometime I forget that, and I have the same issue, so not a bug probably you miss to fill the track(s) box.

Nah. Like I said, "CMaj" works fine, so I know I have all the settings properly set for chords.tinga wrote:Did you added tracks (same line than "target machine", "0-3" for a 4 notes chord)? you have also to add tracks to the targeted machine, sometime I forget that, and I have the same issue, so not a bug probably you miss to fill the track(s) box.

Sorry, i think its a "syntax error", {} are for notes {C,E,G} is the correct form for a chord in note sequence, [] are for arp. , numbers are for custom chords in resources page.River Cricket wrote:Nah. Like I said, "CMaj" works fine, so I know I have all the settings properly set for chords.
Very cool. I knew you'd like it!tinga wrote:Magic increases seriously Buzz's power, a test with custom chords and arps, saved in song, no bugs , a test for scales, I try the chord 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, major scale in fact, arp limit is 64 signs, but more notes of course, it's just perfect, the melodic design I want since a long time, a melodic line is always around 80% of conjunct movements, Magic is great
Hmmm, I think it's broken. Let me see what I did...River Cricket wrote:Either this is poorly-explained, or I'm missing something obvious, or this is bugged.
I can put "CMaj" and get a C Major, so all the "background settings" seem to be fine.
But C{1,5,8}, C {1,5,8}, C4{1,5,8}, and C4 {1,5,8} all produce just a single C note.
No, the manual is broken and I forgot how it's supposed to work. The help text in the Magic window is correct, you put actual notes between curly braces to form a chord {C,E,G}. The manual is correctly describing how to make predefined chords like "Maj" but in completely the wrong place.IXix wrote:Hmmm, I think it's broken. Let me see what I did...
OK, we have also to test the manual, I RTFM around 3 or 4 time, but I didn't see this mistake.IXix wrote:No, the manual is broken and I forgot how it's supposed to work.
Of COURSE I didn't think to try this permutation! Many thanks to you and Tinga!IXix wrote:No, the manual is broken and I forgot how it's supposed to work.

I'll update the documents soon.
I think I understand what rav is asking - because I was about to ask it too.rav wrote:Sorry, i didnt mention i was asking mainly for peer ctrl event and now i see how it is working.

When you type ' in textbox, it disapper after you change cursor focus to other thing. Then you can't tell it's empty or it have ' attribute typed. It also don't appere in event label
Why does this work? Because it's a bug!River Cricket wrote:This is how I set the "all notes off" in ixmagic (I had no luck with rav's apostrophe-equals method). It looks bizarre to me, maybe because my Buzz-track for the ixmagic has nothing in velocity, so it's somehow sending "null" to the synth as a note value. Never would have tried this, "v" was just the result of lucky keyboard mashing when frustrated, lol.
A .BMX might be worth a thousand words in this case, so see what I mean below. Try erasing the "notes off" from the Sequencer and notice how Green Milk will continue to drone.
Actually it works after focus change also and gives ability to stop notes by note off.IXix wrote:[...]an apostrophe ' on it's own isn't a valid value so it gets discarded when the focus changes[...]
This is it! ThanksIXix wrote:To set note-off you can just type 'o.
I think I'll change it so that an apostrophe with no other characters will be mean pass through. Sounds like that's what it's doing anyway,rav wrote:Actually it works after focus change also and gives ability to stop notes by note off.
I'll look into that later.rav wrote:Values 64, x40 and %50 gives the same results (Qsamo transpose param). Random ranges R:64-65, R:x40-41 and R:%50-51 should also work almost the same like decimal range (first example), am i right? Right now it works different. I think, that second range value is always decimal.
Yes, that's correct behaviour. If it reads a velocity value with no note it will use the last note recieved on that track, or do nothing if there's no previous note. Similarly if it reads a note with no velocity it will use the last velocity recieved on that track, or full 7F velocity if there's no previous value.rav wrote:'Pass is triggering also from velocity value, without notes. It retriggers last entered note to the pattern. Is it suppose to be like that?
I never considered that. I'll have a think about it...rav wrote:Why values with apostrophes ('pass, 'off) are blocked on non note params? Actually it is possible to use this by changing param from [T]Note to something else. This key tracking like feature would be cool i suppose?
Forgot to say amid all the bug frenzy, your experiments are getting better and better! Bravo!tinga wrote:OK, we have also to test the manual, I RTFM around 3 or 4 time, but I didn't see this mistake.IXix wrote:No, the manual is broken and I forgot how it's supposed to work.
A new chord call "chroma", 12 notes, just one pattern: CS[UD12]. 1mn30 loop.
Oooh, you're good at spotting bugs! I accidentally broke this on the 7th of August last year! Can't believe I didn't notice.rav wrote:Values 64, x40 and %50 gives the same results (Qsamo transpose param).
