Microtonal playback OM 6.17

Hi everybody,

i am completely new to Open Music and i would like to ask you which is the first place
a should look at in order to install the microtonal player. As of now the playback ignores micronal accidents. I took a look at the tutorial 10 but i don’t event find the Midi Share dialog box.
I am using macOS Mojave and Simple Synth.
Thank you!

Cheers,
Alberto

Dear Alberto,

First of all please do know:

Then you can start loading the omtutorial patches from your workspace from the Help menu (Help->Import Tutorial patches -> Om-Tutorials

Open tutorial 10
First you should evaluate the pitchwheel object:

This will “tune” midichannels in 1/8th tone.
You can test then the chordseq:

Please be advised, if you notice that we have tuned channels 1 2 3 4, you should set the same instrument for these. If you open the chordseq

you will notice also that everything is written for channel 1. OM parses automatically the 1/4th and 1/8th tones to the corresponding tubed channels.

Hope this helps
Best

I followed your instruction and it works.
I am not sure i understand the second part of your post concerning channels and instrument but hopefully i will once i have a better knowledge of OM.

All the best!
