I was experimenting with the Random Order Sequencer and I wanted to put an expression in the ExtraValues field. I wanted to vary a parameter randomly, just as is done in the Pitches and Velocities fields, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. I always get this error: "this collection is empty", even if I copy the expression from the Velocity field and paste it there. Here is what I tried: {((1 bpm: 24) nextRandom abs * 11) of: #( !nu {0.0} {0.1} {0.2} {0.3} {0.4} {0.5} {0.6} {0.7} {0.8} {0.9} {1.0} )} What is the proper syntax? IP: Logged |

In the ExtraValues syntax, the name of the hot value comes first, then the array of values that it should take on in the sequence. In your example this would be: #(!nu {((1 bpm: !BPM) nextRandom abs * 10) rounded / 10}) Multiplying by 10, rounding, and then dividing by 10 is just an alternative approach to getting the values quantized one tenth as you have in your array.

Ah, the mysteries of SmallTalk. I for one would be interested in an intermediate-level Kyma workshop specifically about SmallTalk scripting and expressions. The documentation in this area is a bit sparce. I can do a few basic things, and can usually re-work examples to meet my needs. But when I see some of the stuff you guys do, I realize there is a lot more power available here, I just don't know how to access it. (btw - Thanks for the expression.) IP: Logged |
