Untitled Python track December 28, 2019
Total Python newbie here. I have a script for generative music that mostly works really well, but I'm having some issues with notes that are held longer than I'd like. I need to have each note played within a thread that prevents note duration from exceeding a certain length, but I am totally clueless of how to use threading or multiprocessing to make this happen. I'm starting to understand it a little, but how to use it in my particular case is still sketchy since the algorithm is already complex. So for now I'm typing up a script to show just how far I've gone with using threading and letting that run. If anyone else out there is just getting started with Python, you might enjoy watching this. Most of the videos I've watched on threading and all of the tutorials are for applications I have no use for, which makes it hard to understand. This video keeps it simple, simple, simple. The music is recorded from my current music generation script using LogicProX , NI FM8,, and the ES P synth that comes with Logic.
In progress are sound design scripts for the Yamaha TX7 and TX802 synthesizers (synth modules that were companions to the DX7). I'm testing these out on DEXED and FM8, and it's the FM8 patches that are in use here.
