KURT

V/Oct or Hz/V? Eurorack or Korg?

I'm not entirely sure melodic rythm is correct, as I'd need to hear Kurt play it to be certain, and I still haven't written it to that extent.

So, every db measurement you see, regarding noise pollution, is relative to that 20 μPa reference sound pressure. (to which 0db SPL is set to)

Good definition of 0dbfs

(TODO: is it actually supported? since when? in what fields?)

Ho scritto un tool di testing esplicitamente per non uscire scemo a scrivere Kurt? Sì. Ci sono riuscito? No, scemo c’ero già diventato.

“MIDDLE C is C4“ (on a 88-keys piano) ...therefore, MIDI octave number translation gets a little nasty.

Yes, this will be used for algorithmic composition."

; Just write the scale of C for each and every type o scale, the ; intervals will be elicited and applied to every other pitch ; mechanically. You can put spaces or dashes between pitch names, ; the following, e.g., are all valid specifications: ; ; major = C-D-E-F-G-A-B ; major = C D E F G A B ; major = CDEFGAB ; ; Aliases for scale names might be specified as: ; ; = *<original_scale_name> ; ; (the star "*" tells the system it should look up the scale definition elsewhere) major = CDEFGAB minor = *major-6 diatonic = *major natural-minor = *minor ; You can actually write, well, a scale for ANY pitch in here, ; only the intervals between the notes count. ; ; For example, the natural minor scale could as well be specified as: ; ; minor = CDEbFGAbBb ; minor = ABCDEFG ; ; The notation I used instead, <scale_name>- instead tells ; the system to look for the scale <scale_name>, but to start from ; its Nth grade.

La durata delle note, in questo esempio NON è specificata, quindi il sistema le interpreta tutte come dei quarti. I numeri specificano un offset rispetto alla "corda" specificata. Nella sintassi che ho in mente esiste un modo di notare la durata con grande precisione, (che poi è un po' l'idea alla base dell'intero progetto) e posterò esempi che lo usano tra qualche tempo. Intanto faccio notare che le note possono essere separate sia da "-" (trattini) che da " " (spazi)
