MusicXML and playing with various SynthDef

[prko]

Dear developers,

Thanks for the great project.
I have three questions:

1. Is there a way to read musicXML files into sclang via Fosc? I see Fosc.xmlVersion in the help document, but I cannot find how to import a musicXML file.
2. Is there a way to write musicXML files from sclang via Fosc?
3. .play` is great, but how can I use Synth with Fosc?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Hi,

Apologies for the extremely late reply -- I somehow missed your message the first time around.

MusicXML support is still in development and not yet part of the main library. It's not going to be possible to read xml files, but writing xml files is already working in a limited way.

You can use your own synthdefs with Fosc's play mechanism by accessing the pattern property of any Fosc components or selection:

SynthDef('beep', { |midinote, amp|
var src;
src = SinOsc.ar(midinote.midicps, 0, amp);
src = src * EnvGen.kr(Env.perc, doneAction: 2);
Out.ar(0, Pan2.ar(src, 0));
}).add;

s.boot;

a = FoscMusicMaker().(durations: [1/16], pitches: (60..72));
p = Pbindf(a.pattern, \instrument, 'beep');
p.play;

You can also access the eventList property of any Fosc component or selection for making your own modifications or additions:

a = FoscMusicMaker().(durations: [1/16], pitches: (60..72));
a.eventList;
