![]() Together these determine the length and pulse of the theme. Theme Length is the length of the theme expressed in microbeats, and Pulse determines where the accents will fall and which probability table will be used to select the pitch at any given point in the theme. The first parameter, Microbeat, is the smallest rhythmic unit expressed in terms of clocks at 24 clocks per beat. As these determine the nature of the music, your close attention to the following paragraphs is requested. So how is a theme generated? Simply, it's the result of random number generation, but the numbers are squeezed and tempered to conform to the settings in the Theme & Variation Parameters panel at the top of the screen. Clicking on it with the right button wipes the old theme and generates a new one. You select a theme or variation for playing by clicking on it with the left mouse button. Musically, themes and variations are the same, the only difference is the way they're generated (coming up). You can see them in the Themes & Variations panel centre right of the screen. The themes are called TA (for Theme A), TB, TC, TD and TE and the variations are VA1, VA2, VB1, VB2 and so on. Tunesmith can score five themes each with three variations. It contains three basic modules - the Theme and Variations Generator is used to create themes and variations the Accompaniment Generator converts the theme data into MIDI music and derives accompaniment parts (harmonies, counter-melodies and so on) from the theme and the Arranger it used to string everything together to produce longer sections of music much as a sequencer lets you build up a song from individual tracks. What does Tunesmith do? Well, it composes themes and variations. It's not compatible with the blitter chip (anyone got a Mega ST?). It will run as a stand-alone program or as a module within Dr T's MPE (Multi Program Environment). The review copy was version 1.05 and operates in high and medium resolution. Tunesmith, however, it very numerically orientated and, although it does sport arithmetic icons (this just means you click to the left or night of a parameter to alter it), both the program and the manual are relatively easy to understand. But perhaps someone has had a word in Uncle Jim's shell-like (or maybe he took the review to heart) because much of the jargon in Fingers is thankfully missing here. It was written - code and book - by Jim Johnson, the guy who wrote the Fingers manual (reviewed MT, October '88) so I braced myself for a deluge of interactive, series parameter control icons - invisible ones at that. It's subtitled The Interactive Algorithmic Phrase Generator, and comes from the prolific compiler of Dr T's. No, I don't know either, but yup, you guessed it, Tunesmith is another in a growing range of composition programs. While most musicians agree that MIDI and computer-based sequencers are 'a good thing', where do computers get the audacity to believe they can actually compose music? I've heard that server components may help with this case but haven't come across any documentation on how to accomplish this.īeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.EVER HAD THE feeling computers are taking over? I mean, apart from swallowing your cash dispenser card and threatening to cut off your telephone if you don't immediately pay an outstanding bill, do you ever wonder about the effect they are having on you as a musician? ![]() This is not ideal because getInitialProps isn't recommended, and opts us out of automatic static optimization. Describe alternatives you've consideredĬurrently I am using a custom _app to define getInitialProps, and returning an empty pageProps if the incoming url starts with /_next/data, to skip invocation of getInitialProps during page transitions. I'd like _middleware.ts to have some way of distinguishing between initial page load, and ensuing page transitions. Describe the feature you'd like to requestĭevelopers have a need to run server-side initialization code on a page load, that they don't want to re-run server-side on every page transition.Ĭurrently, the incoming req object in middleware doesn't include any information that allows us to distinguish between an initial page load and a page transition triggered by a client-side navigation like next/link.
