Score Configuration

I chose to make all the configuration from OScofo using the score, this make easier to use the object on different programs. For example, instead of create a lot of code to handle the configuration for Pd object, and another object for Max, I can create a simple one where the composer can config the OScofo using the score. This allows that I use my time to develop the object itself, not the bridge between OScofo and Pd, Max or others.

Always try on OScofo Editor

Always try the examples on OScofo Online Editor, with highlight this becomes much easier.

Time Configuration

BPM

  • Default is 60

BPM keyword set the BPM value for the next event.

BPM 50

PhaseCoupling

  • Default is 0.5
  • Range 0-2

This value must be between 0 and 2 and captures the amount of force exerted on attentional rhythm, determining, among other factors, the speed at which the coupled system relaxes in relation to the attractor (Large and Jones, 1999, p. 128).

SyncStrength

  • Default is 0.5
  • Range 0-1

The value of \(\eta_s\) (Sync Strength) corresponds to what Large and Jones (1999) refer to as the adaptation rate. This value determines how much of the previous predictions will be considered for the next BPM prediction and must be between 0 and 1. According to Large and Jones (1999, p. 131), "if it is set to 1, each estimate of \(\kappa\) will be based solely on the current onsets. If \(\eta_s\) < 1, the focus adapts more slowly because the previous context is taken into account".

SyncStrength 0.4

Listening Module Configuration

PitchSigma

  • Default is 0.5
  • Range 0-1

Define the

PitchSigma 0.2

Entropy

  • Default is 0
  • Range 0-1

Define the min value to entropy to trigger a new event. If they are very similar, the event is not triggered.

Entropy 0.02

Audio Configuration

FFTSize

  • Default is 4096
  • Must be a power of 2, I recomend 1024, 2048 or 4096
FFTSize 4096

HopSize

  • Default is 1024
  • Must be a power of 2, I recomend 256, 512 or 1024
HopSize 4096
