MOZAIC - Create your own AU MIDI plugins - OUT NOW!

wim

@pejman, the answer is No. You cannot set the midi channel that is output from an AUM channel without other plugins. Atom itself can send on any channel you want, however.

pejman

Hi , @wim.

Do you mean atom pianoroll 2 ?
I use atom 1 .

I'm glad you understand what I mean.

Here you go @pejman. This should work as far as I understand your request:

@Description
Track the notes that are being held down and sort them lowest note to highest note.
NOTE: This is designed to only handle a SINGLE MIDI CHANNEL at a time.
@End

@OnLoad
  noteCount = 0
  FillArray heldNotes,-1
@End

@OnMidiNoteOn

  Call @AddNote
  Call @SortNotes
  Call @LogNotes
@End

@OnMidiNoteOff
  note = MIDINote
  Call @RemoveNote
  Call @SortNotes
  Call @LogNotes
@End

@AddNote
  // Add a note to the stack
  heldNotes[noteCount] = note
  Inc noteCount
@End

@RemoveNote
  // Remove a note from the stack
  r = 0
  found = NO
  
  // Read through the stack until the note is found.
  // Once found, replace that with the next note in the stack
  // until there are no more notes (note = -1).
  repeat
    if heldNotes[r] = note
      found = YES
      Dec noteCount
    endif
    
    if found
      heldNotes[r] = heldNotes[r+1]
    endif
    Inc r  
  until heldNotes[r] = -1 or r = 1023
@End

@SortNotes
  // Sort the stack by copying the notes
  // in lowest-to highest order into a temporary array
  // then replace the active array with the temporary array
  
  // Exit if there are no notes left in the stack
  if noteCount = 0
    Exit
  endif
  
  FillArray tmp, -1
  sortCount = noteCount
  
  for s = 0 to (sortCount-1)
    Call @GetLowest
    tmp[s] = lowest
    note = lowest
    Call @RemoveNote
  endfor
  
  CopyArray tmp,heldNotes
  // noteCount has been decreasing as we remove already
  // copied notes, so we need to restore it here.
  noteCount = sortCount
@End

@GetLowest
  if noteCount = 0
    Exit
  endif
  
  lowest = 128
  for l = 0 to (noteCount - 1)
    if heldNotes[l] < lowest
      lowest = heldNotes[l]
    endif
  endfor
@End

@LogNotes
  if noteCount > 0
    Log {=== Start Note Array Contents ===}

    endfor
    Log {===  End Note Array Contents  ===}
    Log { }
  else
    Log {No held notes.}
    Log { }
  endif
@End

Based on this script that you kindly wrote for me, I have two more requests from you. 🙏🙏.

1, log only highest note in separate log .
2 , sort notes in highest to lowest note ( mirroring ) . And log .

I'm going to extract them from the script and send them to another plugin.

I would be very grateful if you would do me this favor again.🙏.

Yes, I meant Atom 2. I don't think Atom 1 can send on any other channel.

You really don't need much special to get these two different logs. Check the @LogNotes event.

• Rather than for l = 0 to (notecount - 1), just count the opposite direction: for l = (notecount - 1) to 0
• The highest note is: heldnotes[notecount - 1].

I hope that helps.

Hi wim .
I want to create one strummer ( like guitar ) patch with your chord tracking notes patch .

I have added some code lines to your script , I marked them with this sign (🔺).

There is problem ( overlapping start notes in octave with original notes ) with formula in delay send note for octave .
SendMIDINoteOn 0, heldNotes[l]+12, ve[l] , l* delay + (l + 1 * delay)

I try it with delay 50 for example .
I play for first time note C1 , then add E1 and then add G1 .

According to the above code, their octave have been add to them in the order that you can see them in the screenshot.

I have tried many formulas in delay send note section , but none of them have been successful. Please help me to know what formula I should write to make what I expect to happen.

Naturally, I expect that by increasing or decreasing the delay that I have created by knob No. 0, the delay of the notes relative to each other from the lowest note to the highest note , will decrease or increase in an equal proportion every time I play a chord or note to note. I add or subtract from the previous one.

I have a question for the real programmers here that have created amazing tools using Mosaic as is but probably know where they'd like to see an extra feature or language construct.

I would love to have access to a UI editor to make additional layouts, and add custom buttons. I created my ideal workflow for a step sequencer but hit a wall because I needed more controls, and ended up using the shift button to have 2 pages. An in app purchase for a UI template editor and the functionality to be able to create custom layouts and wire those controls up would be a dream for me.

I suspect Mozaic didn’t sell enough copies to justify @brambos putting in more time.
The 1-2 punch of Surface Builder feeding Mozaic works really well to make better UI’s and get the
MIDI processing of Mozaic.

Brambos' philosophy has been made clear a number of times. He puts a lot of thought into the conception of each his plugin as a complete unit, implements that vision, makes some refinements shortly after release to fix bugs or address little user needs that align with the conception of the app and at that point the app is done and isn't revisited except to fix bugs with rare exception.

Very early on, he made it clear that it was not intended for the large-scale applications many of us pursued with it. He made it clear pretty early that he would not be turning it into something other than it was. I don't thing the number of sales plays a big role in his thinking on this subject.

Hmm I don't have surface builder, but now I am intrigued, also now wondering if I could do what I want with Loopy Pro's UI tools feeding Mozaic as well

FWIW, that has tended to be my solution.

Thanks,

My other solution will be a lot more time consuming, which would be to create an app that satisfies the workflow that I would like. That might be what I will end up doing for ease of use and collaboration with others. If I do embark on that path, wish me luck!

If you do create it, I am sure a lot of people would appreciate it -- (though by a "lot" I don't actually mean so many that you would earn more revenue than it would cost in time to develop it)

oh I don't mean creating the thing I would want in Mozaic, I mean creating the thing that I was creating in Mozaic as a proper app. Which is a step sequencer with a particular workflow.

Hi ,

I want to send midi message after every 2 host bar .

I used this code :

@OnNewBar
for i = 0 to HostBar
if HostBar = i * 2
log {🔺}, HostBar
Send xxxx
endif
endfor
@End

But with increasing hostbar , DSP (CPU consumption) increases .

What other solution is there?

pejman

I apologize, the solution was very simple, I found it.😅

@onnewbar
Inc count
if count = 2
log {🔺}, HostBar
Send xxx
x = 0
endif
@end

@ki
hi @ki. thanks for new patch .

What is the exact name of this app, I can't find it no matter how much I search in the app store.

_ki

Hello @pejman

thats the Xequence AU | Keys app. One can configure scales, add multiple CC sliders, the color and midi channel (nice if one uses several of these keys)

The same dev also offers an Xequence AU | pads control surface.

pejman

@ki thanks for information ❤️.

Hello .
Is it possible to use the app that we make ourselves through Swift or other coding programs, for example, for iPad, without registering it in the App Store?

You can do some things with Swift Playgrounds for your own use. What you can do is somewhat limited, but it's a great way to learn. Most people use Xcode on a Mac for iOS/iPadOS development.

You can deploy a full program on your own devices with a free Apple Developer account. You can't distribute it to others though without a paid developer account. With a paid developer account you can have others test it using TestFlight once the test version is approved by Apple and eventually list it in the App Store.

You can't just write any app and use it on devices without going through Apple in some way.

pejman

@wim thanks for reply and help .
Is it possible to make for example an arpeggiator with AUV3 support with swift playground that can connect with other apps that support midi and midi clock option support?

You said :

With a paid developer account you can have others test it using TestFlight once the test version is approved by Apple and eventually list it in the App Store.”

This means that I have to write the codes by xcode for example and then by apple developers I can use it on my device but only for myself if I don't want to pay money to apple ?

You said: You can't just write any app and use it on devices without going through Apple in some way.

It means that the designed app must be registered at least in apple developer so that we can use it personally on our device ?

Yes. Unless you build it in Swift Playgrounds, then you can run it from within the Playgrounds app.

You can do quite a lot with Mozaic. And it already has all those tedious real-time features built-in. It feeds you MIDI messages one at a time, you can send messages as desired, and you can just focus on the algorithm. You can share your project on PatchStorage, or simply by email. No messing with developer accounts, test codes, and so forth.

That would be a huge stretch to do with Swift Playgrounds. I wouldn't waste my time looking into that personally.

Hello .Thank you for your guidance. I have been teaching mozaic coding through my good friends @espiegel123 @wim @_ki @McD for a long time and so far I have written 23 patches which is extremely valuable to me, but for some reason I have not uploaded them to patch storage until now .

But what I mean by making an arpeggiator is a professional arpeggiator, with ability note programming and shift notes earlier than the orginal time. This is impossible in mozaic.
