This is a stick post that aims to collect links to posts with example patches and scores, that can be useful over time as posts get old and get dumped down the list. They all contain patches and working examples. This is in addition to Max/Pd tutorials in the official package and the Antescofo Reference page.
Automatic Accompaniment with Antescofo and SuperVP HOW-TO
This package provides a grammar core to activate syntax highlighting for the Antescofo Language and an OSC communication with Antescofo. Event and Action snippets are now available.
Apologies beforehand if this is the wrong forum, but I’m stumped. I’m looking to run antescofo in Max 8.6.4 so I can have a high quality accompaniment (Mozart Concerto) to someone playing the piano. I’ve spent hours searching but cannot get it figured out. Does someone have an example they can share of how they set this up on an m1 Mac? Many many thanks for any guidance. Peter
If you don’t want to go down the pathway of programing and preparing the whole thing, you might want to consider using the Metronaut App which does exactly what you described with Antescofo under the hood plus echo cancellation, synchronized video/sheet music and more.
@mainmanpeter I suggest you write to the Metronaut team (from the App) requesting specifically the piece. I heard that a bunch of Concertos for Piano are pending release soon. They will respond with more details.
I downloaded antescofo for max and transferred the antescofo~.mxo file to the Max’s Library folder.
Max 8 recognizes it, because I can create the object antescofo~, nonetheless, Max cannot find the help file for it.
I’ve used antescofo in the past and the help patches were very helpful for me to learn how to use it. It would be great to have access to it again.
I was not able to download and install the standalone version. Might it be the reason why Max is not able to find the help files?
My computer is running macOS Monterey (version 12.7.6). I am using an old machine, therefore, I cannot update the system further.
The external and the tutoriels are shipped separately since 2021. You can simply retrieve the help patches from your old version and use the new external.
The help patches and tutorial is delivered as a zip file without the objects, because it was designed for Max 6 and has not been updated. Nevertheless, the different patches are (often) valid (but sometimes outdated, especially for the language part).
PPS: The standalone is a non-real time version tant can be run on a terminal (without the Max or PD environments) and does not interfere with these systems.
PPPS: If you are able to instantiate an antescofo~ object on Max, then the object is compatible with your system version and there is no need to look for another one.
