منطق طرفدار X: اسکریپت رایگان برای باور نکردنی Scripter تازه MIDI FX افزونه در

Peter Schwartz on Jul 25, 2013 in Logic Pro 31 comments

An unsung hero in Logic Pro X is the Scripter MIDI FX Plug-in. Using JavaScript you can create your own MIDI FX. Peter Schwartz (Mr Environment to his friends) has created a special one to download.  

با ظهور منطق نرم افزار X، بسیاری از کاربران در منطق نماز مدتها در انتظار پاسخ داده شده است: arpeggiators، تاخیر MIDI، حافظان وتر، و دیگر اثرات MIDI مبتنی بر دیگر نیازی به زحمت در محیط زیست ایجاد شده و به معنای واقعی کلمه با دست سیمی است. Theyve شده است به طور موثر توسط یک سری جدید از MIDI FX پلاگین است که شما حق قرار دادن در کانال ابزار نوار تا 8 در نوار جایگزین!

از جمله در مجموعه FX جدید پلاگین که به طور موثر را حذف 95٪ از نیاز به استفاده از محیط زیست برای پردازش MIDI است. برای من، هیجان انگیز ترین پلاگین در مجموعه، یکی است که به ما اجازه می دهد تا نوشتن خود ما سفارشی MIDI پلاگین! آن Scripter نامیده می شود.

Scripter از Plug-in

اسکریپت اشاره به جاوا اسکریپت، زبان مورد استفاده به آموزش این پلاگین در چگونه به پردازش MIDI، و همچنین به عنوان چه نوع از منو های تعاملی، لغزنده، و چک باکس شما ممکن است بخواهید برای اضافه کردن به Scripters رابط کاربری گرافیکی (همانطور که در بالا نشان داده شده است).

پلاگین در ویژگی های جاوا اسکریپت ویرایشگر متن یکپارچه / الیاف کوتاه پنبه که به تخم پنبه چسبیده است (نگاه کنید به شکل 2). آن همه بسیار خودکفا و کاملا یک عملیات کوچک مناسب!

جاوا اسکریپت خود را بسیار دشوار است برای یادگیری نیست. همانطور که با یادگیری هر زبان برنامه نویسی، آن را دارای خصیصه های ذاتی است که شاید در ابتدا کمی سخت به درک. اما هنگامی که شما بر روی برآمدگی وجود، تقریبا هیچ محدودیتی برای آنچه که شما می توانید انجام دهید برای دستکاری اطلاعات MIDI در جهت اهداف پایان موسیقی خود را. و الیاف کوتاه پنبه که به تخم پنبه چسبیده است ساخته شده است در یک کار خوب از اشاره به اشتباهات برنامه نویسی است. نه این که من همیشه به هر [ahem].

بهترین از همه، فرآیندهای است که می تواند بسیار وقت گیر، کار بسیار دشواری در مورد محیط زیست برای ایجاد اگر نه، در حال حاضر می تواند در موارد ممکن است فقط با چند خط از جاوا اسکریپت ایجاد شود.

آیا می خواهید برای ایجاد یک فرایند که در آن تاخیر MIDI خروجی هر تکرار در کانال های مختلف MIDI به ایجاد تاخیر چند timbral را به؟ و یا آنچه در مورد یک راه اندازی keyswitching برای تلو تلو خوردن DUBSTEP برای تلفن های موبایل که در آن یک محدوده انتخاب شده از کلید کنترل نرخ LFO؟ ایده های پیشرفته تر مانند ترکیب ابزارهای الگوریتمی، وتر strummers، و پردازنده های پیوسته در میان کسانی که پیشنهاد در مقدمه ای بر برنامه نویسی در بر اثر منطق X دستی، دانلود در این لینک هستند.

شما همچنین می توانید پلاگین هدف به منظور ارتقاء و گسترش قابلیت های افزونه های خاص ایجاد کنید، و برای این مقاله من دارم میرم که فقط انجام.


درباره رشته های کامل

تحت شرایط عادی، ابزار کامل رشته تنها رشته پیوسته صدا تولید می کند. اما پنهان در این ابزار تعریف کامل از مفصل رشته، از جمله پیوسته، با ضرب نوک انگشت یا ناخن، استکاتو، تحریر و دو نوع از trills ها است! برای دسترسی به این صداها، من ساخته شده یک اصلاح کوچک به جلو EXSs پنل تنظیمات که اجازه پیام های MIDI تولید شده توسط اسکریپت من به رها کردن این مفصل پنهان.

چیزهای رایگان: EXS24 PolyArticulation فیلمنامه

این اسکریپت اجازه می دهد تا شما را به راه اندازی انشعاب صفحه کلید و بازی بیان های مختلف در هر دو طرف تقسیم است. یا، شما می توانید نقطه تقسیم به توجه داشته باشید فوق العاده بالا و یا پایین به بازی هر یک بیان (و به طور معمول پنهان) در سراسر صفحه کلید را تنظیم کنید!

شروع شده توسط دانلود پروژه و بازی به عنوان مثال، که من زنده ضبط. گوش دادن به باس اشاره پیوسته صدا در حالی که دست راست اشاره استکاتو صدا، نگه داشتن در ذهن که هر دو برای تلفن های موبایل که از یک نمونه تک EXS!

در حال حاضر این را امتحان کنید: تغییر صدا در زیر تقسیم شده از پیوسته به لرزش صدا و پخش به عنوان مثال برای شنیدن یک نسخه پر از تنش است. (نگاه کنید به خواهید منظورم چیست!) و یا با ضرب نوک انگشت یا ناخن زیر تقسیم و تحریر بالا انتخاب کنید.

اسکریپت، مانند دیگری همه MIDI FX، غیر مخرب درج FX: آنها همیشه زندگی و رهگیری داده های MIDI پس از آن وارد کانال ساز، اما قبل از آن می رسد ابزار پلاگین در خود. بنابراین، هنگامی که شما یک قسمت را ضبط، آهنگ فقط یادداشت ها و کنترل های اصلی خود را داشته باشد، فقط به عنوان مثال ضبط. در واقع، اگر شما لیست رویداد را مورد بررسی قرار در پروژه عنوان مثال شما ببینید که آن را تنها شامل یادداشت ها. با این حال، در طول عملکرد یا پخش، اسکریپت، اطلاعات اضافی MIDI است که می گوید EXS که مفصل برای یادداشت های بالا و پایین تقسیم شود.

من امیدوارم که شما در پیدا کردن این نصب برای طراحی قطعات و رشته، و همچنین اشتهای شما را تحریک قدرت اسکریپتی مفید!

Wow!!! are you kidding me? Logic Pro X is taking away the need to learn several 3rd party apps and become exhausted with learning environment tricks (stuff that I am doing daily in LP9), and it's all under one hood now. I can't wait to upgrade my operating system so I can take advantage of all these new features. Way to go Logic Pro!!!

Hello
I was looking to access Meta data to handle score accidents
Did you find the trick ?

It does not seem possible to generate Meta or Fader events from a script.

Even if it was possible, you can't use Scripts to process data before it enters Logic (at the Sequencer Input object in the Environment), and that is the ONLY place where Meta events can be passed into Logic for the purpose of recording them on a track. Since you can't insert a Script in any object in the Environment, and since Scripts can't generate Meta events anyway, it's just not possible.

Now, you can still attempt to use Environment objects to generate Meta events (for score symbols or whatever) and feed them into the Sequencer Input. However, it will be an exercise in futility. Or, I should say, in Logic 9 and prior it was futile, because something in the code prevented that from working. I haven't tried it in Logic X tho. If I get a chance I will and post back here if I get a positive result.

Hello Sky

Thanks for your answer.

I do not want to generate meta, but read Meta that are in the score to send changes of articulation in Vienna Symphonic Library first, I may also extend it to Play and .......

It will look like this :

If Meta = "Legato" then send "C0"
If Meta = "Staccato" then send "C#0
if Meta = "pppp" then send "ctrl 7 with value 20"
if Meta = "ppp" then send "ctrl 7 with value 30"
if Meta = "pp" then send "ctrl 7 with value 40"
if Meta = "p" then send "ctrl 7 with value 50"
if Meta = "f" then send "ctrl 7 with value "64"
.......


So how can you read Meta ?
Do you have the list of the Meta with there code ?

Thanks in advance

Best

Scripts cannot read Meta Events, so you're out of luck there.

I believe it's possible to do this directly in the environment. However, I'd like to suggest that the idea of associating dynamic markings with specific values sounds good in theory but isn't a practical approach. First, just adjusting the volume (CC#7) won't give your parts a natural sound. Second, if you had a sudden (subito) jump from "p" to "f" and any of the "p" notes overlapped even slightly into the "f" part, the transition is going to sound unnatural.

While riding volume alone won't give you an very natural sound, it's better than nothing, and in that case I'd suggest riding automation on your parts to match the dynamics you want.

If you want natural dynamics from Vienna stuff, you have to use a combination of riding the values of velocity xfade, the filter, and volume. But that's a whole other subject. :)

Hi Ski

Thanks for your mail

So this Scripter IS A PIECE OF S.....


I AM SO DISAPPOINTED, IF I HAVE KNOW THAT I WILL NOT HAVE BUY LOGIC X

I AM FEDUP OF LOGIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM THAT DOES NOT DEVELOP WHAT USERS NEED AND DEVELOPING THINGS WE DONT NEED

WE ARE Thousands USERS USING VSL, QLSO ... and that are needing to drive articulation changes from score

Cyril is right... the Scriptor is Totally Useless.... First i thought... yeah great ... then i began to script articulation switches.... everything is just recordable into the Automation ... I dont need something like this ... i need the midi data or the Meta Events, recorded into the file... not into the Automation....
Aug 02, 2013
Cyril Blanc
Cubase, Notation, Sibelius, Finale has listen to there user. They are totally interfaced with VSL, Play .....

Cubase has the VST Expression Map since more than a year !

Logic is behind ! shame !!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I am still downloading Logic X on a very slow connection so as of yet I cannot tell for myself but I have a question:

Can I, for example, make a script that SOMETIMES plays one chord and sometimes another given a single note AND actually 'use' that data?

From the article:

Scripts, like all other MIDI FX, are non-destructive insert FX: they are always “live” and intercept MIDI data after it enters the instrument channel but before it arrives the instrument plug-in itself. So when you record a part, the track will contain only your original notes and controllers, just as in the example recording. In fact, if you examine the Event List in the example project you’ll see that it only contains notes. During performance or playback, however, the Script generates additional MIDI data that tells EXS which articulations to trigger for notes above and below the split.


My question is: Can I record or save somehow the additional MIDI data for later use? eg editing?

I hope this makes sense
Aug 08, 2013
Cyril Blanc
you can do this with the environment already
Aug 09, 2013
Peter Schwartz
Hi Dave, what you said totally makes sense, and you've got it exactly right. Scripting and other MIDI FX are "non-destructive" and therefore only process MIDI data entering the software instrument's channel strip. What you'll see in a region is the data as it originally came into the software instrument's channel strip. But within the channel strip, the MIDI is processed on its way to the plugin instrument.

Recording the output of the process (i.e., the output of the Script) is proving problematic. In fact, I've been working hard trying to find a foolproof way to record the output of a Script without any kind of "gotchas". I think I'm making progress, so "please stand by". :)
Aug 09, 2013
Peter Schwartz
Cyril, can you explain how you do this in the environment? Are you talking about using IAC?
Aug 10, 2013
Cyril Blanc
You do that with "chord memorizer "

You can add "transformers" that will select different "chord memorizer " depending of either a CC change or a specific note range

Have one in Minor, another one in Major, another in Major 7 ........

If you want to record the result you send the end of the chain to another midi instrument and record it
Aug 10, 2013
Peter Schwartz
Just read your reply. I don't believe your idea will work, because you can't record the output of an instrument. So if you cabled your environment process to another MIDI instrument, it would play that instrument but it wouldn't be recorded.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the awesome little script, however for some reason I cannot get it to work properly.

I am literally copying and pasting the script from the file in your article into the scripter in a new project in Logic Pro x (I have even saved it as a preset in the script window).

Basically when I run the script, the GUI/front end loads up the two boxes to select the play methods (legato, pizzicato etc) and the Split note (e.g. C3) but it doesnt seem to actually split the keyboard - or change the sound according to the play methods I select. When I looked in the script, it says the following
Pluginparemeter[0] missing unit
Pluginparemeter[3] missing unit

Which I assume is the above split and below split paremeters not working properly.

I am a bit of a code newb so not sure how, in the process of my copy and paste, I am getting this wrong haha

Any info appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Chris

P.S do you know of anywhere we can get more scripts like this - been looking around and not much available.

Aug 20, 2013
Peter Schwartz
Hi Chris, sorry you're having trouble with it. The messages you see about the missing unit in the Plugin Parameter are benign. However, I've gone and changed the code so that it no longer reports that message. It's working 100% as far as I can tell at 3:30 in the morning.

I'm going to post a new message after this one with the new code. You can copy and paste it into the Scripter. Then, hit "Run Script". It should work 100% fine. If not, post back.

Regarding other Scripts, it's early days yet. Presently there are problems associated with having too many scripts in a project which apparently Apple is aware of. But I'm pressing on all the same, and have a variety of plugins that I'm developing to do all kinds of neat stuff.

Thanks for this. I tried the new code and alas still no love.

Perhaps its something to do with the setup of my instrumentation - I am going into EXS24 > Orchestral > Strings > FullStings+ right?

I have tried Stereo and Multi output versions - but still get the same result.

Basically, the scripter says it works (so no more missing plugins) but seems to be sticking to the default sound that loads up when the sampleter starts (i.e. doesnt change when I change the selections in the scripter)

not sure how the flipping flip I am going wrong with this...

Cheers for your help
Chris

Gonna suggest that you download the project from the link above (it's been updated with the new code) and save the Channel Strip as a new Channel Strip Setting.

Note that the script won't work unless Full Strings+ is modified as shown in the picture above, so the easiest move would be to save this as a Channel Strip Setting. No need to copy and paste code to make it work.

Also, just for the record (wink) there weren't any missing plugins. The original code worked fine. I just didn't specify a few non-critical parameters that resulted in what appeared to be error messages but had no bearing on how well the script worked.
Aug 21, 2013
Chris
Boom. That did it. Nice one, thanks.

Is this script limited to just FullStrings+ in EXS or are there other ways it can be tweaked?

Awesome job though, sounds great with the two 'multis' at the same time.

Chris

Hi Chris,

Glad it's working for you.

Yes, this script can be used with any EXS-24 instrument that has multiple samples (articulations) where each one is programmed within the EXS instrument itself to have a unique Articulation ID. Critical to the operation is setting the EXS's modulation matrix as shown above.

Full Strings+ has 6 articulations, and the value of 25 you see in the code specifically addresses having six Articulation ID's. If an instrument had a greater or lesser number of articulations, that value would have to be adjusted (and so would the labels in the menus).

Hi
Thanks all
Trying to write a script to filter the channel strip incoming midi channel (like environment's channel splitter.any ideas?
thanks again

I've followed Ski's method laid out in another forum thread to allow for more expressive playing of stock EXS strings using the modwheel (thanks!). But does anyone know if you can program a script that approximates this with non-Logic EXS instruments like Garritan or Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra? Some of these free or cheap libraries could work much better I feel if we could impose the same filter cutoff and volume tweaks using the mod wheel for better expression. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Peter for these insights. I have to say though, it would be nice to have a MacProVideo tutorial about the Logic Scripter. For someone who comes from the musicians side it's quite difficult to get into coding JS/Midi... But this looks really promising I think. Enormous potential this scripture has!
