Mu.se.s. - Csound score generator using musical series
MU.SE.S. ( MUsical SEries Software ) is a software that allows to manipulate the musical series in alpha-numerical format through the use of the Csound code. A musical series is, here, a sequence of twelve values, not necessarily different among them, related to one of the four musical parameters (intensity, duration, timbre, pitch). MU.SE.S. elaborates an input series, and releases the new series as output. The mechanism used by the algorhythm of MU.SE.S. is enough simple. The series furnished by the user, is recombined through one of the counterpoint combinations available (chosen by the user). Besides, some or all values of the series, are replaced with others values, selected by the program. This choice happen in relationship to some logical rules, and to the limits indicated by the user. Of course, is also possible to exclude the automatic functions, and control the series manually. The values relative to the four musical parameters, are been implemented as monodimensional array. When the program replaces the values of the series, it chooses one or more values casually, from the subset of the array relative to the treated parameter. This subset is defined by the user through the choice of the min. and max. limits. To the four traditional parameters, an other has been added, relating to the start time of the notes. This series will be therefore composed, by a sequence of values express in seconds. The values of this series will indicate the point on the line of the time, on which to put the single musical event. You can see a brief mathematical description of mu.se.s. algorithm, clicking here
