VSLCONVA code snippet for use with Rick Taube's CM/Grace algorithmic composition environment configured with David Psenicka's FOMUS. Converts Standard MIDI File containing Vienna Symphonic Library articulation keyswitches to MusicXML for import into a notation program. Enables reasonable, if not great, translation into appropriate articulation markings, dynamic markings, and slurs. I created this code for my own very specific compositional purposes when composing Clonal Colonies. Using this code requires coding knowledge (LISP/Scheme) in order to adapt it to your particular purpose. It is NOT a simple, standalone solution by any means. But, for a coder, it is probably simpler to use than starting from scratch. See the enclosed README file for instructions.
Drone-a-Tron Mark IIaA cross-platform MAX/MSP program providing virtual tamboura and harmonium instruments with customizable just intonation schemes -- for practice of Indian classical music. Available on the Drone-a-Tron page.
PICACSPICACS (Pitch Curve Analysis and Composition System) is software for analysis and expressive computer rendering of pitch-continuum melodies (such as those found in Indian classical music). The concepts and techniques are described in my Computer Music Journal article Bézier Spline Modeling of Pitch-continuous Melodic Expression and Ornamentation. PICACS is prototype hackware implemented via command line control in LISP using Common Music and Common LISP Music, with links to GNUPLOT. In other words, only a small fragment of the human population would be interested in using it in its current form.
DVDV7400 CONTROLA set of MAX building blocks for driving the Pioneer DVD V7400 RS-232 controllable DVD players. Includes a demonstration apps, a GUI "remote control", and a copy of the DVD V7400 RS-232 protocol specification. Probably also will work to control the DVD V7200 players. All written in MAX 3.5 and 4.0 (no custom objects), so easily alterable for specific needs. Please note that I no longer have access to a DVDV7400 player, so I am no longer able to test, debug, etc.
WJMX20 ControlA set of MAX building blocks for driving the Panasonic WJ-MX20 RS-422 controllable video mixer. Includes instructions for creating a serial cable to connect a Macintosh and WJ-MX20 serial ports, a FIFO-buffered sender routine, demonstration apps, a GUI "remote control", and a copy of the WJ-MX20 RS-422 protocol specification. Could probably be easily altered to control other Grass Valley Group Protocol 100 (GVG-100) controllable video mixers. All written in MAX 3.5 and 4.0 (no custom objects), so easily alterable for specific needs. Please note that I no longer have access to a WJMX20 mixer, so I am no longer able to test, debug, etc.
AECM – Animation Extension to Common MusicAn extension to Rick Taube's Common Music 1.4 environment allowing it to export MaxScript animation script files for the 3D Studio Max 2.5 computer animation software. Used in the creation of Writing on the Surface. (The code has not been updated to current versions of Common Music or 3D Studio Max.)
