#sonification generated by the number E with steadily increasing precision
#from 1 to 60, written by Robin Newman, Dec 2023
#The number is generated by BigMath.E(precision)
#I use each digit as a lookup index into a minor pentatonic scale
#I read the digits from each end of the current number, and play
#one of the two resulting notes, selected by a density funtion and a spread function
#which gives a bit of rhythm.
#These notes are underpinned by a base drone, which is layered as it has a longer
#release time and is generated increasingly as the base E string gets longer

These files comprise two versions of a midifileplayer for Sonic Pi version 3.0.1 or later. There are two versions.

File SPbasicMidiFilePlayer.rb is the basic version, where the synths used to play each channel in the midifile have to be specified in teh code before running the program in the form of a sonic pi ring. If this contains just a single synth e.g. (ring :saw) then each channel will use this synth. If two synths are specified eg (ring :rri) then midi channel 1 will use :saw, channel 2 :tri and then any further channel will use index into this ring and use in turn :saw, :tri,:saw,:tri This is set in line 38. Also specified at run time in the code is the attenuation level set by the fx :level wrapper in teh variable attenAmp set to 0.5 by default in line 40.

In the second more complicated vbesion, support is provided for an external TouchOSC interface which can be used to specify synth allocation on the fly as the program is running. and also to adjust the attenAmp setting in teh range 0.1 to 1 again

The Sonic Pi file moonlightSonata-RF.rb which plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement requires the use of the Grand Piano samples from the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra produced by Matthias Westlund.

Unfortunately this is no longer available from his website https://sso.mattiaswestlund.net/ However there is an alternative available at https://github.com/peastman/sso from where you can download the library. It is coverd by a https://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/ Download and expand on your Desktop, or other suitable location and then set the link in the program at line 9 appropraitely for your installation.

The file should be run using the run_file "/path/to/file/location" command as it is too long to run from a Sonic Pi buffer.

An alternative version using the built in piano synth in Sonic Pi is included for comparison.

Sonic Pi Record / Player version 1.3

This version is updated to work on SP 3.2 or greater. This involves a change which is detailed in teh comments at the beginning of the program. The TouchOSC template is unchanged. I have left it as a MkI TouchOSC file , but you can load it into the latest TouchOSC and it will automatically concert from a .touchosc file to the new .tosc format which will only work in the new version of TouchOSC.

The two other files enable a TouchOSC interface to be used with Sonic Pi 3 and above to allow notes to be played on Sonic Pi, and also recorded in real time for subsequent replay. Recordings can also be stored in files on your computer.

The Sonic Pi program is too long to run in a buffer, and should be run using the run_file command eg

run_file "/path/to/file/recordplayercombined-RF.rb"
