Please hear my latest confession (post). It has been at least a few hours since my last.

I am struggling to even conceptualise a starting point for a basic problem. The humiliating and frustrating aspect to this issue, is that I can build the entire solution in MaxMSP~ however, I am not satisfied with resorting to Max, when I am sure there can be a whole world of excitement to be had in Kyma.

I had created a Fibonacci sequence. It was very basic, but it worked beautifully.

The simple patch added the two values together, then replaced the values to be added with the previous result, and went along in a two step process, reseting them back to the start was rudimentary.

Now that this idea has already been realised in Max, I simply cannot get it out of my head, and struggle to draw parallels to find a starting point.

For the short term, my goal is to generate an ascending pattern of pitches in a fibonacci manner resetting after a count. I have looked at the previous fibonacci examples, most seem to use a predetermined pattern of values, this is not quite what I had in mind.

I am sure there are many cunning solutions to this problem.

Rotten eggs in the usual direction please.

thanks

If you refer to the manual Page 258, bottom right hand side, you will see the starting point for a Fibonacci script, yes, it is in chapter 3 of the manual, you will have to get over your fear of this chapter and read it.

Many thanks

In the Frequency field, you could use the following CapyTalk:

code:

---

| prevNN |
prevNN := EventVariable new initialValue: 1.
(1 s tick switchedOn true: (prevNN <~ (prevNN * Float phi) rounded)
						false: (prevNN)) nn + !logFreq nn

It really is time to learn how to express myself competently in this language. I shall study this until I understand it fully.

Many thanks
