Longer Description:

xYzee! is a small instrument for PD that
generates 2-voices random/deterministic melodic patterns.
It uses the powerful "bassemu" external as the main
audio engine. A message-based sequencer drives
the pattern generation and effects (multi-tap and
reverb) are added at the end of the chain.
Scale mapping is part of the game, nearly 50 scales
are in!.

Grab xYzee! together with docs, samples of the presets

Unpack the archive wherever you want and
open XYZ_main.pd. Turn on the audio of PD and
set the volume in the patch.
Note: you need cyclone library for the phase scope.

Note for Mac OSX users: unfortunately xYzee! will not work
for you (yet). It is based on bassemu and
I was only able to compile it for Windows and for Linux,
since I don't have any OSX near me.
If you want to contribute
with a bassemu.pd_darwin you are welcome!

I don't really know how useful is this patch.
Probably, at the end, it is just an exercise.
Anyway I enjoyed coding it since, with some tweaking
I got interesting (at least for me) sounds.

Thats all folks! Any feedback is welcome.

Have fun,

I finally got a copy of bassemu for Mac OSX from stffn in the PD list.
It's now included in the archive,
so if you want to give it a try let me know if it works ...

Best

Alberto

sounds lovely. that bassemu~ is amazing too.

Hi Hard off,

thanks also for your bassemu contribution, I'll probably include it in the pack
(with some other feedback from Mac users).

In my opinion, bassemu~ is one of the *best* sounding externals
for PD up to now. Aggressive.

Best,

Alberto

I saw this on list, nice 1 Alberto, thanks for this inspirational melody line generator.

I still get the bassemu filter exploding sometimes with high fast changes to Q , anyone else? (linux w/ 0.39 ext) ??

Hi Andy,

thanks for the feedback. Yes, there are combination of bassemu control parameters that make the
filter unstable. I realized that the two "dangerous" parameters are
"EnvMod" and "Decay". The solution proposed by Christian Klippel
was to limit the range of them between some small values while I simply removed
them from the User control, so in my case bassemu~ filter shall be stable.

cheers,

Alberto

yeah it's a bit unstable. don't think that's platform dependant...you can just bust the filter pretty easily.

Thanks for your work. I am enjoying this right now. My first attempt at using PD.

Well done.

Hi Proaktor,

glad you enjoyed it ! Hope you'll have good time with PD!
