Added :
Chord insertion.

You can insert on the current row, the notes (one by track) of the chord selected, with the current note as root.
The generation fills the tracks up to the last one, or up to B-9.
You can limit the generation by selecting some tracks, the generation will stop at the last track selected

The dropdown box is filled with the content of the file "Jeskola Pattern XP Chords.txt".
The structure of the file is :
- one line per chord
Name;NNNN
where N is the distance of each note of the chord from the root note in semi-tone.

The first note is implicitly the root note.
I filled the file with some chords, but it's not perfect.
If someone want to create a better one, feel free to do it ... and send it to me.

Shortcut : CTRL+H

About interpolation, Pattern XP can interpolate in a linear way (Ctrl + I) or in a exponential way (Ctrl+Shift+I).
What kind of other curves could be useful ?
I've attached an image because I'm not sure if I can describe this correctly.

Whatever the opposite of exponential curve (labelled "??") where it increases fast and then slows down. It would also help to be able to adjust the severity of the curvature as indicated by the arrows, bringing it either closer or further from linear.

Again, thanks for all your work on this. The new updates are really quite awesome!

Impressive, pattern XP is faster now.
I added some chords, and used the standard notation, maybe it will be useful to add the inversions, the list increase around 60 chords. (i can do it)
The limit seems to be F(9#), but with your new transposition system, chords are very easy to change, great tool :dance:

Code: Select all

Maj;47
m;37
Maj7;47B
m7;37A
7;47A
mM7;37B
m7/5b;36A
Maj9;4BE
m9;3AE
7/9;4AE
6/9;49E
6;479
m6;379
m6m;378
add9;47E
sus4;57
sus2;27
dim;36

I didn't test it but i use 'false' hexa. That means you can go up to 'Z'.
Yes, you can do a full list, thanks.

Great, we have 3 octaves, and what about the number of notes Name;NNNN means five notes, a chord could be 1 3 5 7 9 11 13, ok i can just try :lol:
A tool for chord inversion will be great, anyway the customizable chords list allows all fantasy.
I have to make the list now.

Nice, it works fine for 10 notes, of course multi-machines Pattern XP, is very powerful, chords structure is one of the most complex thing in western music, voicing, interval etc..., this new function in Pattern XP is awesome, guitar chords for example are very specific, and chord structure determine the "color" of a composer, same for pianists, composers, we can have several lists for different sort of compo. 8-)
of course my list is obselete :?

I can add a way to select the chords file to use.

I can't say no, good idea, we can choose between a basic list, classic system, jazz , Brazilian guitar, specific composers, inversions etc...
Thanks for all this great stuff.

Great updates, thank you, especially for humanization.

In toolbar mode, when cursor is moved without selection, humanize icon is not active, but shortcut is working, so it is not a big deal. Without toolbar it is possible to click on button.
Only a little shame it doesn't work on notes ;)

For the chord tool, would be awesome, if this could work on all selected notes and also on off notes (copy them).

It should work now. Download "alternate".
Unfortunately, this option introduces some issues, like:
- no possibility to convert or copy from normal pxp to pxp mod,
- sometimes, when pattern is played and you want to switch to other editor buzz hangs out (from mod to normal and vice versa),
- when you opening file with patterns created with new editor in buzz without this mod, patterns are empty.

I don't understand. Humanization works on the selection. If there is no selection, it does nothing.

What kind of humanization could be done on notes ?

I thought about that but the problem is that you could only select the same chord for the whole selection.
I didn't think it would be very useful.

The problems of the "alternate" version have been told.
But some are coming of the way Buzz works (copy/paste).
The structure of the file is 100% compatible between the 2 versions of Pattern XP. So saving with one and opening with the other should work fine.
I don't know why buzz hangs out when switching versions. But if it does the same from mod to normal and vice versa, I supose it doesn't come from what I have done. I will have a look at that one day. But it's not top priority.

I'm speaking about this single point cursor, when you are using keyboard arrows only. Shortcut works on this type of selection, but icon is blocked.

Well, maybe this humanization terminology is a little confusing. I'm using this just for "limited randomisation" compared to normal ctrl+r. With this on notes you can produce crazy 303 lines on one click almost :>

This could be useful only on some techno chords probably.

I tried and this doesn't work. It could be solved by auto exporting to normal pxp (or auto importing from mod editor).
I'm speaking here about situation, where you have option to choose new editor, not about option with replaced file.

The 2 first very basic list (tested, normally its correct)
More usual chords
Basic guitar chords
Coming soon jazz chords (with different structure: playing for example a maj7 1 3 5 7 sound good in medium, but with low notes prefer 1 5 10 14)

Thanks for your files.
They will be available next update.
I think I should add a param not to duplicate the chord octave by octave.
Your files seem to have chords that don't need to be.

Added :
- Selection of the chords description file to use.
- The chord can be generated only once or up to the last track.
- The configuration files uses by PatternXP are now stored in a new subdirectory : Buzz\Gear\Generators\PatternXP.
- 3 examples of chords files, thanks to Tinga.
You can remove the files Buzz\Gear\Generators\Jeskola Pattern XP Chords.txt and Buzz\Gear\Generators\Jeskola Pattern XP.txt. They are not used anymore.
- The chords description files are named *.chords
- The chords file accepts comments : lines starting with a ";"
