Mozaic - tutorials
Hi,
thinking of getting Mozaic but cannot seem to locate a Sound For More, Sound Test Room, Haq or Gavinski tutorial on it.
Any good ones out there?
Thanks

I am not aware of videos with scripting tutorials, but here has been a forum thread Learn to Program the Mozaic Workshop and in the wiki you find a Mozaic Tips and Tricks section. The wiki also offers an annotated list of available Mozaic scripts which you can download, install in Moazic and look at their sources.
If you need help, you also can ask in the main Mozaic thread
I was going to say what @_ki said so I second it, the intro thread got me going and the other kept me going...
Perfect ta
And i forgot to mention that the Mozaic Manual itself is a very good read and contains a good introduction into scripting.
Thanks all. Was wondering more about how to use in AUM. I mean typically do you typically feed it/scripts midi or can it also self generate and just dependant on the script
Both is possible. Some scripts modify incomming midi, others generate own midi output (several of these require the host to be in play mode). There are also scripts of mixed type, that for instance take a single input note and add chordal notes, maybe even with strumming. Mozaic can generate and react to all kinds of midi events, like CCs, pitchbend, sysex etc.
Have a look at the wikis Mozaic Scripts List, they are all grouped by topic and contain a short description.
Perfect ta
There’s also the Mozaic manual which has good info.
Agree. Best way is to jump in and try stuff as you go through the manual imo.
JUST FOR THE RECORD: You can use Mozaic without ever editing anything.
@brambos adds a nice folder of demo scripts that can be loaded and used.
Then https://patchstorage.com/platform/moziac has 216 scripts to download.
The hard part is figuring out what the script does but many are just load and go with
obvious use cases or close-to-obvious.
But for the brave and adventurous... touch the CODEW button and learn something
about "event-driven" programming. It's a huge time sync and will save you a lot of
money after you start to think "I could make something that does just that."
If I was a pro developer, I'd check out the top scripts for app ideas. An idea is not an
implementation... it's an inspiration so it's cool.
If you can program a little already... any script is "forkable" and many script writer's
invite you to "go fork this" or just fork off. Some developers want credit and they probably deserve it. "Non-forking types." Software wants to be free. Programmers want to make a living. Be a broke Mozaic developer.
Hello everyone! I've recently dived into the iOS ecosystem as a way to get some digital sharpness into my Studio again, without staring at a Puter. Mozaic really got me by surprise; it reminds me of M4L Midi Plugins.
I'm looking for one specific thing; AFAIK there is no way to modulate Fugues' Velocity with an external LFO of some sorts. Is there a Mozaic Script that could catch the Note Data and translate the Velocity with added modulation? This would be VERY interesting for my workflow with velocity Layers etc.
Thanks in Advance!!
If I follow your intent... I would solve this with @Brambos "Rosetta Suite" with it's excellent LFO app running in AUM with Fugue Machine and any number of targets.
If this combo is OK I'll reply and explain how to set it up.
If not please explain which DAW you prefer and I'll check it out.
I think what is being asking for can’t be accomplished with Rozeta LFO. It’s note on velocity @eutow wants to modulate, not volume. There’s no parameter that the LFO could be connected to that would modulate the velocity slider on tracks. A mozaic script would be needed to intercept the midi notes and change the velocity on them.
@eutow I know of more than one Mozaic script that can randomize note velocity. Ranbo is a simple one. But you're looking for more than randomization I think. I haven't tried it and am not sure it'll do what you want, but you might want to check out MutatoR. It looks like it does a hell of a lot, and there are demo videos. @_ki 's plugins are always amazing.
The Audiobus Wiki Mozaic script listing is a great way to quickly scan what's available.
If you can't find anything, a script that applies a LFO to alter note velocity wouldn't be hard to implement.
I don't know of one, but it doesn't sound difficult to implement in Mozaic.
Not sure if it was already assumed or not, but Mozaic has built-in support for code-based LFOs, with SetupLFO and GetLFOValue commands. You'll find a section on it in the manual. I expect it makes what you want to do very straightforward.
Hey, Ive been eyeing Rozetta Suite for the LFOs but unfortunately this won't work with Fugues' Velocity as it's not addressable.
As stated here aswell:
Thank you all so much for the fast responses and recommendations!! MutatoR looks powerful and might do the trick. Not sure I want to take a plunge into coding now as I want to keep stuff as simple as possible BUT it is encouraging to do so in the future, growing with this setup. I love the minimalism of the iPad in the studio already.
Got Drambo? I set up something pretty quick that looks like it does the job. No coding needed.

I assign Rosetta LFO's to the target tracks "Volume" parameter in AUM. Works great and saves a lot of effort of duplicating the behavior in Mozaic. Each instance has 3 active LFO's with multiple waveforms. I have had 3 instances active at the same time with little CPU used.
You can make the volumes slide in sync with the host or jump using the "Sample and Hold" waveform.
It could be done in Mozaic as a transforming filter too... but the GUI of the @brambos LFO and all the other excellent tools are great to use in AUM. I find the available knobs in Mozaic to be a bit fiddly and small. I use them but LFO is better. Either way @brambos will get a sale.
Sorry, I think you’re missing the point @McD. Volume is one thing, but velocity is another. Think of Audiolayer. Different velocities can trigger completely different samples. Or synths that change their timbre based on the note velocity. Volume changes can’t accomplish that.
Yes. I see now why a filter is required to trigger layering using an LFO. Now there’s the question of where the LFO should reside… Mozaic can take in a CC LFO signal and use that value to re-scale the next velocity. Simpler to code and maintain versus developing LFO timing logic. But maybe Mozaic makes it easier than I’m imagining.
I’d love to see a solution to this ask.
LFOs are dead easy in Mozaic. Brambos did all the hard stuff for us.
OK... I'll put Mozaic LFO's on my To Do list.
Thanks for sharing your hard earned expertise.
Looking at the section on LFO scripting in the Mozaic manual I can see that I could put
my favorite Rosetta LFO options inside my scripts.
One thing I can't find a solution for is putting on LFO on the host BPM knob. Is there a
DAW that exposes that as a parameter? It's the one thing AUM seems to avoid.
Not sure what you're asking here. But you might want to check into the HostTempo function in Mozaic. And also make sure you're clear on whether or not the Mozaic LFOs are syncing to host tempo or not (they can be set up both ways).
EDIT: Okay, that probably was no help. I realize (I think) now that by "putting on LFO on the host BPM knob" you mean you want to have an LFO that modulates host bpm. Not sure about that one.
A quick search turned up a reply by @Wim to a similar question of yours a couple years ago. If he's right about the tap function being a way to change AUM tempo from Mozaic, I suspect there's a way to link it up to an LFO in Mozaic: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/comment/715438/#Comment_715438 This would involve a kludge/hack in preparing some tapped note midi messages that are automated, not really tapped at all, but maybe it could be a really useful hack.
Thanks again for the perspectives and ongoing thought process here from all of you! This is spot on ^. I want to address external Synthesizers/Sampler where Velocity can be used to shape the Timbre, modify the Envelopes or determine the Volume of Layers.
My plan is to use this as an arrangement tool. I could also save a preset of Fugue and copy it over to further instances where I modify the Velocity for the 4 Tracks but wonder if there is a cleaner infrastructure to do this. Another way would be to do this with prerecorded Loops and address the Volume as @McD mentioned, but then again I would lose the Live Sound Shaping Possibilities.
I was thinking about the LFOs with Sample & Hold or similar offsets that are synced to the whole project. The LFO might have an "ghost in the machine" happy accident like quality to it that i would like to explore for my music.
There are tons of things you could do with Drambo or miRack to modulate note velocity without having to code. miRack is the most intriguing, but might get complicated when dealing with polyphony.
I will give this a shot as I already own miRack. Could I just route the Fugues Midi through it with AUMs Midi Matrix?
Btw miRack really impressed me soundquality wise. Patched up a super delay with feedbacking into verbs and phasers.. Its like a H3000 in the year 2021 if you want it to be
Yep, send Fugue to Drambo Midi FX, then Drambo to the synth.
Here's a really basic example. The MIDI Note Gen module gets it's note and gate input from the incoming midi. It gets it's Velocity value from the LFO, but first it's passed through a Clip module to keep the velocity from going below 1 or above 127. There are tons of ways you could mangle the velocity value, this is just one.
he great thing about miRack is the amazing array of already made modules that you can use for generative or non generative modulations of the velocity. The part I'm fuzzy about is what happens when you get more than one incoming note at a time.
All,
Looking for a beat mangler like Fauvre/Scatterbrain in either Mozaic or Drambo- Anyone recommend one to me?
Thx...
@rs2000 @wim @Poppadocrock
I’ve been messing around with this one. Don’t ask me how it works haha. Drambo is an enigma and I give anyone who builds these patches SO MUCH PROPS. The results it spits out are pretty gnarly tho, fun stuff 🤙
Scatterbrain and Fauvre are audio effects. Mozaic doesn’t do audio, only MIDI.
Just realized I forgot to link it 🤪
