Tonnetz 1.0 release

Dear Karim,

I supposed it… But, please, don’t worry, I can use this library on Fedora. The more frequently used libraries on my El Capitan (yes, Intel CPU) run good, so if I can I prefer to conserve this OsX version even if old, because it is the last one in which PWGL still runs. I have some materials I need on that software… I could use it in emulation, indeed on Fedora I can do, but it is not a comfortable way.

Thanks again for your support, ciao

Fabio

Ok I understand. I will try to compile a version but the problem is the testing. I have both Catalina and big sur. Will see if this works on my VM.

Dear Karim,

I can help you with tests on my El Capitan. In the classroom I have a High Sierra OsX, too, I will be in Leghorn, where is my Institute, on 11, 12, 13, 14 July, and perhaps some other day (I don’t live in Leghorn, so I must do it on days in which I am there).

So, please, if you need tell me, I do it with pleasure.

Ciao

Fabio

Dear Fabio,

I have tested this issue on High Sierra om7 and I had the same error.
It is not related to the library but to om’s version not supporting old OS (oops). It still works on Catalina.
Anyhow, i have received an update and will look into this problem hoping it could be resolved. Meanwhile you can use om6.20 version, and tonnetz will work. Note that you can have several OM versions in your Application folder. They will all work.

Dear Karim,

Thank you for this information update. Sorry for the inconvenient, perhaps it was better if the fault was in OsX… Yes, I know I can use multiple OM versions, and besides my paranoic obsession for backups grants me all versions also offline… :slight_smile: thank you.

Of course my disposability for testing remains. And eventually on Linux I have also, by Virtual Box VM, the possibility to test on Mavericks, 10.10.

Ciao

Fabio

hello Karim and Fabio,

I can confirm the same problems under Mojave.

Hi All,

Today I am in my Institute, I can confirm same error on High Sierra 10.13.6:

It occurs if I try to open the class in tutorial patch. and interface opens missing some components, as in one of my previous screenshots.

Ciao

Fabio

Dear Fabio,

Yes i have reported this on High Sierra. Just give me time to see what is the origin of this error. It could be:

  1. om7 compiled on LW8.0. Which means that i must test it on LW8.1 featuring bug fixes
  2. Related to unsupported old OS. In this case i will contact LW support and report to them
  3. Could be also an issue with non compiled sources of the library.

Will test these and report back to you.
Thank you all for your kind support and patience.

Hi Karim,

Is there any new functionality in this version? For what it’s worth, my version still seems to work fine (I’m now running OM 7 on macOS 12.4.)

All the best,

Dear Antonio,

There are no extra functionality per se, BUT a lot of bug fixes:

  1. the old icon generated lagging display of the patch itself.
  2. now the tonnetz class saves correctly
  3. Resolced many compatibilities with latest mac OS.

Hi Karim,

The original icon I made is a 2880X2880 png file and I apparently forgot to downsize it. I wonder why you’d need to change the format, though.

I’ve noticed that the highlighting of the current chord has become somewhat inconsistent since my last macOS upgrade, other than that everything seems to work fine on my end.

All the best,
António

Hi Antonio,

First of all, my apologies. Didn’t know you are the author of this very interesting library since on our github page, it mentions D. Diverio 2014. Please let me know if we must change this mention. I will do without problem.

Please do tell me what the problem of the highlighting is about. Since i had to make it compatible with LW8 and our three os (mac, linux and win32), some issues may arise.

Can you be more explicit about this? Will be glad to fix it if possible.

Hi Karim,

I’m not the original author, I debugged and (considerably) revamped it a few years ago. Here’s how it all started for me: A New Tonnetz Editor for OpenMusic

In my version, the current chord now sometimes displays incorrectly when I press the left/righ-arrow key. The MIDI output remains perfectly consistent (with auto-play enabled or when I press space-bar), though. Not a big deal.

There’s absolutely no need for any sort of apology, and I see no need for any special legal mention… Besides, I’m actually the one who created the project page and wrote the mention in it.

All the best,
António

Hi Antonio,

No worry. By the way i had changed some shortcuts and added a help dialog for the Tonnetz editor. Please feel free to tell me if it needs some enhancements, changes, etc.

I will state your name in the project ASAP.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for this, useful to many of us I’m sure.
I have some questions which are not covered in the readme file…

  • It seems that ET is the rule… can this be modified to create a tonnetz with just intonation/microtonal intervals, for example?
  • playback seems to be always octave equivalent (e.g. all Cs are the same middle C). Can this also be changed so that register is respected?

Dear jredmond,

Please be advised, as stated, this library is : “Work-in-progress: Tonnetz representation in om”, so the readme is in a primitive form, so please don’t expect it to be 100% efficient.

Now for your suggestions, this could be possible, but will take some coding. I don’t know if the author of the library is still supporting his project, but if i have time will see what i can do about it. Concerning your first request, sorry, didn’t get what is an ET? (personally i am not very fluent in Tonnetz, sorry about that.)

Best
K

Hello, sorry for the late reply, was very busy and now back to my projects :slight_smile:

By ET I meant Equal Temperament. I suppose what I am asking is, can the Tonnetz editor be used to create Just Intonation tonnetz and playback, for example?

Thank you~

Dear Jredmond,

No unfortunately this library was not designed for equal temperament (22 tones).

Hello Karim

I guessed it… Don’t worry, though; I can use this library on Fedora. Because PWGL is the final OS X version that still supports it, I choose to retain this version even if it is an older one because the most often used libraries on my El Captain (yep, Intel CPU) operate well. I need to access certain documents on that program. On Fedora, I can use it in emulation, but it is not a comfortable method.

Once again, I appreciate your help.

Dear Brettlee,

sorry i didn’t understand your request here. Can you elaborate, (examples, etc.)
