Acum - chord sequence

OpenMusic
#1

Hey everyone,

since i’m still quite new to the programme, this might be a kinda nooby question.
I’m working on a tiny little patch to construct random chord-sequences with up to 4 voices in which each chords distinguishes itself from the former by only one note in order to be able to work on choral-listening and make the whole ear-training-experience a little more flexible for me and colleagues of mine.

Now the problem that i have is that i just dont get accum to work properly because of some mistakes within the lambda patch (at least thats what i think)
Or because of me not understanding fully how the lambda patches in combination with the acum in this case (where you are not applying a series of numbers/data to be added/substracted…from the initial value) works.

would be great to have some support of you guys.
thanks in advance.

PS: you can also answer me in french since i just spent a year abroad in Lyon - its just horrible to write for me, but i understand most of it!

Hi Julian,

I like the way you designed your patch it’s very nice.
Concerning your algorithm: “The LARMINATizer II is built in order to generate chord-progressions with up to 4 voices in which every chord distinguishes itself from the former by only one note.”
you should go the “Situation” way.
Situation is an OM-library and it works like a charm specially for that kind of process.
It needs a bit of learning at first but you won’t loose your time since it will help you to design a lot of harmonic, melodic, rhythmic algorithms.

All the best.
