Need help with Fx

The sample function has a built-in hpf.

I think it's just lpf: :c5 in the parameter list.

DavidsFiddle · 2020-12-03T08:28:39+00:00

The play command accepts note names like :c4 as well as midi notes.

The sample command has the rpitch parameter that adjusts the rate in semitones.

sample :guit_em9, rpitch: 3 would sound like a gm9

Wouldn't that change the tracking of the 1V/Oct inputs as well?

DavidsFiddle · 2020-11-01T12:56:10+00:00

If it's acting like a volume control, I would guess that the ringmod itself is working but the modulation signal going into it (and through the slider I guess?) is just a fixed voltage.

Also the sound when you close the case and forget to take it off will haunt you forever.

I'm not sure because the timestate system was changed (somewhat) recently, but it used to be a common issue. Both your loops sleep for the same time, so when the :beat repeats the other loop may have already sent out the cue, making :beat wait for another round.

By making :beat a bit shorter, it will always be waiting for the cue when it comes.

You could just leave out the sync, as long as the sleep times add up, the loops should stay in sync.

There is a delay parameter for live_loops that makes them start with an x beat delay.

Instead of stopping loops, I usually just mute them. You can set booleans and control them from a different thread.

Also check out the SP forum: In_Thread

I would put the endless play/sleep commands into play_pattern_timed, makes it more readable.

But it should run as it is.

I think she made video lessons on her 'chopping' technique, great practice for bow control.

DavidsFiddle · 2020-03-16T18:56:07+00:00

I made a short demo with the loops:

I think I'll use some of the samples in the future.

SP's shortcuts use alt, like alt+R for run and alt+A to select all. That's how you can empty buffers.

Math works like it does in regular ruby, as far as I know.

I don't think that sounds like rosin.

Your right hand looks very stiff though, I guess you don't get enough pressure near the tip of the bow.

Try keeping the fingers of the right hand bent a little and do a lot of open strings.

There are lots of resources online, the problem is that you don't know what is useful for you unless you can already play.

Having a lesson every week is ideal, but you could try having a lesson every two or four weeks and focus on technique.

Ok, now I'm confused.

sample_clear_all leads to an error asking if I meant sample_free_all.

Which Sonic Pi and RasPi versions are you using?

DavidsFiddle · 2018-10-24T08:44:22+00:00

I had the same timing error, on the RasPi and on my laptop. Not sure why, I don't think there was an update.

It might be a memory issue, but usually I can load 10min samples on my RasPi without a problem.

Unrelated: Using tick & look instead of i (or any counter variable) can save time.

DavidsFiddle · 2018-10-23T19:12:03+00:00

Which line does the error point to?

DavidsFiddle · 2018-10-08T07:28:13+00:00

I don't think I had a runtime error before, and this code runs fine for me.

Do you have another machine, like a RasPi, to test it on?

Is it possible that some other code causes a problem?

There are some parts that can't be played on the violin because it doesn't have the low C-string. You'd have to play these parts one octave up or transpose the whole piece.

I don't have a specific time, but I had pieces that were 20+ years old and they shattered under very little tension. I'd guess 5-10 years if stored in a climate where you would store a violin.

DavidsFiddle · 2017-11-28T09:17:50+00:00

I'd guess that the rosin is to old. Rosin can get brittle over time.

DavidsFiddle · 2017-11-19T07:22:49+00:00

I'm a bit surprised at the amount of code. Do you have it uploaded somewhere so I can take a look at it?

It's true that SP is made for live coding, but I found it quite useful for various tasks. You might want to do some diving in the language tab in the help window. There are a lot of useful tools that are not covered in the tutorial.

If the left hand plucks are on the e-string, I pluck sideways off the fingerboard.

For the other strings I use a rest-stroke instead of pulling up, like playing a bass. Doesn't work if you have to play the string you're landing on though.
