audio/din: Update to 64.1
Changes since 60:
DIN Is Noise 64.1:
/*
Beat Divider is now called Beat Handler because in addition
to divisions of the beat pattern, you can now:
mute: flatten the pattern between start and end vertices
and remove the inbetween vertices/tangents.
copy: copy the pattern between start and end vertices
cut: cut the pattern between start and end vertices. a copy
of the cut pattern is now available.
replace: replace the pattern between start and end vertices
with the cut or copied pattern. DIN will squash or
stretch the copied or cut pattern to fit the space
between start and end vertices.
append: append the cut or copied pattern after the end
vertex.
when Beater @ BPM button is green, DIN envelops the lead
voice or noise, all the drones, all the triggered notes of
keyboard-keyboard, mondrian and all the binaural drones with
the beat pattern starting at the first beat and ending at the
last beat. you can change this first and last beat for
interesting effects.
default first beat is 0. default last beat is 8. default
beat pattern has 8 beats.
g: set first beat of beat pattern
h: set last beat of beat pattern
j: shift first and last beat of beat pattern 1 beat to left
k: shift first and last beat of beat pattern 1 beat to right
*/
DIN Is Noise 63:
* reinstated auto accent
auto accent
on or off
off sets accents from the accent curve
to edit accent curve click
Edit swing and accent curves
default is all divisions have same volume
with auto accent on,
for N divisions
volume scaled down by N every division.
* fixed bug in swing on Beat Divider
DIN Is Noise 62.1:
* removed auto accent, accent on Beat Divider
/*
edit Swing and Accent curves instead
more flexible
default no swing, no accent ie full volume
*/
* aligning codebase with binary versions for Linux, Windows
and macOS
DIN Is Noise 61:
/*
flags for rest in the Beat Divider
default
all the flags are on
so all the divisions are on
so no rest
if a flag is off
corresponding division is off
a rest!
turn flags on and off to insert rests
syncopation!
(special) case study
Divisions = 1
(only) flag is off
deletes original beat pattern
accent is just a value multiplied to the
volume of every division.
auto accent
on or off
off sets accents of all divisions to 1.0
so all divisions have same volume
with auto accent on,
for N divisions
volume scaled down by N every division.
suggestion
combine rest flags with auto accent!
*/
DIN Is Noise 60.1:
* improved last beat feature on the Beater editor
* press SPACE to set last beat of the beat pattern
to x position of the nearest vertex to mouse cursor
* press SHIFT + SPACE to set last beat to the x
position of the mouse cursor
* fixed view alteration on undo/redo on curve editor
* removed a debug message from DIN codebase

audio/din: Update to 60
Changes since 59:
DIN Is Noise 60:
/*
DIN60 is a binaural audio synthesizer which means you can hear
binaural beats from the drones of the Microtonal-Keyboard or
from the notes triggered when the balls of Mondrian hit a
wall or ceiling or from the notes triggered by pressing keys
on the Keyboard-Keyboard. Until DIN59, you could hear binaural
beats only from the binaural drones of the Binaural Drones
instrument. That instrument is still available but this is
a new and dynamic way to hear binaural beats!
some say binaural beats are best heard on headphones.
on the Settings screen,
turn DIN Is Binaural ON or OFF.
if you turn ON,
every new drone on the Microtonal-Keyboard is a binaural drone.
select the drone to change its binaural state, justification
and separation from Menu > Drone Params > Modulation
every new ball in Mondrian triggers binaural notes when it hits a wall \
or celing.
select a ball to change its binaural state, justification and \
separation from
Menu > Ball Params
every key press on the Keyboard-Keyboard triggers binaural notes.
set params for these binaural notes from the Settings screen itself.
default Separation between L and R channels is 4 hz. if you turn ON ~ DIN \
randomises
the separation for each new drone or ball.
if justification is Left, for a binaural drone or triggered binaural note at \
T hz:
L will sound T hz,
R will sound T + Separation Hz
if justification is Right,
R will sound T hz
L will sound T - Separation Hz,
if justification is Random,
well...
this separation in Hz is heard as beats. so for a separation of 4 hz,
you hear 4 beats a second.
*\
/*
DIN60 intros a new way to make beats!
a beat pattern envelops Voice or Noise, drones of the Microtonal Keyboard,
triggered notes due key presses on the Keyboard-Keyboard, triggered notes
due bouncing balls in Mondrian and the binaural drones of the Binaural
Drones instrument. enveloping only some of these elements will be possible in the
next release :( , sorry!
turn ON by clicking Beater button at the bottom left of any instrument. no \
fader in this
release :( , sorry!
Press 5 to edit the beat pattern on the Beater editor or Menu > Editors \
> Beater
on the Beater editor, use the Beat Divider plugin to subdivide the beat \
pattern to
complicate the pattern.
press SPACE to set end point of beat pattern. only available on Beater \
editor and via
this keyboard short cut only :(, sorry!
use BPM tools to change the BPM, reverse, scrub, loop or pong the beat pattern.
BPM tools is also available on Voice FM/AM modulation editor.
BPM modulation:
press F4 to double the BPM.
press F3 to halve the BPM.
works on the Microtonal-Keyboard, the Beater editor and the Voice Modulation
editor only.
doubling or halving BPM keeps the groove like octave shifting keeps the \
melody.
by default DIN uses 2 to multiply or divide the BPM. playing with BPM this
way reminds us of shifting octaves with notes! so why not multiply the \
current BPM
with other small whole number tuning ratios from key modulation to \
modulate to,
that is, produce other BPMs? there is a 9x9 lattice of BPMs to choose from
based on various whole number ratios from 1..9.
for ratios other than 2/1, say you choose the pair 3/2, 4/3 from the \
ratios list and
the current BPM is 120:
an F4 press will multiply 3/2 to 120, to make current BPM 180, a BPM thats
a "perfect fifth" above 120.
an F4 press again will multiply 4/3 to the 180 to produce 240. this is 2 \
times 120!
that is, its a BPM thats an "octave above" 120, or in other \
words, a doubling of
the original BPM.
an F3 now will divide 240 by 4/3 to give 180, a "perfect \
fourth" below 240.
an F3 again will divide 180 by 3/2 to give 120! that is, we got back the
original BPM which is a "perfect fifth" below 180 or an \
"octave below" 240,
in other words, a halving of 240.
this system combined with L, R delay line lengths (see below) in beats can \
create very
interesting, emergent polyrhythms!
and also create isochronous binaural beats via Settings > DIN Is Binaural :)
*\
/*
in DIN 60, you set the L, R delay line length in beats @ the current BPM of \
the Beater
rather than in seconds.
begin setting the values to small whole number beats. say L to 2 and R to 3 \
or 4,3 or 3,4
or 6,5 etc. DIN uses the current BPM of the Beater to calculate the length \
of the delay
line in seconds. fractional beats are also welcome. set L to say 1.5 and R \
to say 1.333333
try setting the values at different BPMs of the beater!
this combined with BPM tools (see above) can create very interesting, \
emergent polyrhythms!
*\
/*
new Levels panel on the Delay editor.
use to change the level of the feedback and volume curves instead of
manually picking and moving the curve by its vertices.
move curves of both channels at once (feedback-both or volume-both)
or one at a time (feedback-l, feedback-r, volume-l or volume-r)
the slider lets you adjust the delay length of both L and R channels
live. left end is 0% and right end is 100% of delay line length set
on the Settings screen. experimental feature. may glitch depending
on how fast you move the slider... :)
*\
/*

/*
Gater is now called Beater in preparation for the new beat engine in DIN \
(still WIP
as of 59)
edit beat pattern in beat pattern editor
press 5 from microtonal-keyboard or Menu > Editors > Beater
new beat patterns in the library
use 9 and 0 keys to go thru beat patterns
in the beat pattern editor:
press F3 to halve current BPM
press F4 to double current BPM
press F5 to shift key up an octave
press F6 to shift key down an octave
on the microtonal keyboard:
press F3 to halve current BPM
press F4 to double current BPM
*\
in a curve editor:
/*
increase/decrease size of tangent of a curve
click+pick a tangent of a curve and press f or Menu > Tools > Size \
tangent
and just mouse up and down to size tangent
*\
/*
pin / unpin vertices & tangents of a curve in a curve editor
choose Menu > Tools > Pin / Unpin
and click+pick a vertex or tangent. ESC to stop.
or click-pick a vertex or tangent and press p to pin/unpin. click to stop.
why pin?
pinned vertices and tangents dont rotate when curve rotates.
pinned tangents dont move when their vertex moves
try it on shapeforms!
watch fft!

:( mouse returns to last position on all screens :)
:( bug asked user to select drones when no drones were selected and drone \
volume change was attempted :)
:( fixed bug not saving inner, letter and word spacing curves on morse code \
module :)
:( fixed fold tangents only folding tangents of the selected vertex then \
stopping, instead of offering
to fold other tangents until canceled by user :)
