Instead of the normal contest format where we all submit one final piece anonymously and everybody votes and stuff, I thought this could be something more fun and inclusive.
What we’ll do is come up with cool algorithmically generated bits (no longer than 30 seconds please) using Wolfram Tones. We can then share the MIDI results with each other and people can build tunes using:
~ only posted Wolfram bits, and
~ General Midi sounds (as used by Wolfram).
Are you talking about exporting the GM sounds from Wolfram Tones or exporting the MIDI and using it with other sound modules? Because I haven’t messed with GM in years that is on a hardware synth somewhere in a box.
I made a few more last night with the idea that I could maybe sample them later to make a tune so I kind of did stripped down ones of just bass and drums kind of like I did just pads and strings for my first one.
Tried dealing with the midi from a project I was mucking about with. Tbf it was a complete mess, didn’t even retain the bpm I had chosen. Also the timing was way off compared to what I heard in the preview.
Not sure I understand: you used a Wolfram midi and dropped it in a project in progress?
If so, the track settings can override the midi data on things like tempo.
But anyway, the point here is to come up with cool clips and share them for a joint project where we all have access to the same Wolfram clips and can use 'em to build our own tunes for eventual submission.
Oddly enough there’s a weird problem when I try to listen to those - they say they’re supposed to be 15 sec. long but I only hear a couple drum hits and then silence…
Render perhaps?
@mks definitely using that one of yours for some lead lines.
