Text or drawings in maquettes

[zipzappoozoo]

Is it possible to use text objects in a maquette? or graphical drawings? I don’t think it is, which I find puzzling because so many major composers (Stockhausen, Ferneyhough, etc.) sketched their pieces with often elaborate verbal descriptions, and/or drawings.

It would be amazing if maquettes supported text, drawings, etc. that could then be complemented with Chord-seqs, chords, voices, etc. I realize that’s a lot of programming but I’m surprised there hasn’t been a general call for it, since again, many composers sketch that way.

Anyway, if there are classes/objects I don’t know about that fulfill some of these ideas let me know.

Hi Christopher,

Yes of course you can:

As long as you object inside of the tempobject is connected to tempout:

Maybe you are looking for something else?

Is there a good tutorial out there for using the tempobject?

I put one into a patch, but when I double click it I was expecting it to open into a subpatch like in your picture, instead I get this:

No the simplest and esiest way is to add the temporalboxes inside the maquette directly.

Or programaticaly like here:

Hi dear OMers,
Sorry for the interruption, I hope I’m not interfering with your work on understanding maquettes. I took the liberty of making a small patch that transforms a graphic sketch (in the form of a BPF) into a sequence of pitches. Of course, the graph can then be turned into synthesized sounds or anything else (also a maquette of maquettes) — in this case I used notes just to keep it simple.
