Rewrite the 16 classic presets and add 12 new (electro/EBM/
synthwave, DnB/jungle/footwork, melodic techno/progressive) as
22-voice x 64-bar arrangements with section arcs (intro/build/
rise/drop/plateau/break/outro) and per-preset machine kits
(909/808/303/juno/supersaw/minimoog/dx7/sp1200...). The generator
now emits the Event (grid+instruments) format. All load + valid.
Wire 6 new tracks (melody, chord, fx, snare, crash, shaker) into
~matVoices and extend the grid to 64 bars. Per-voice dicts (mod
targets, neutral cut, instrument choices) gain the new voices.
~matLoadFile auto-migrates any legacy grid (tile bars, pad voices)
so the old 16x32 presets still load. Web grid/mixer/timeline +
handlers de-hardcode 16/32/512 to MATRIX_VOICES.length/MATRIX_BARS.
Headless test assertions made dimension-dynamic.
Add synthdefs (lp_snare, lp_crash, lp_shaker, lp_fx) and base
Pdefs (lp_melody, lp_chord, lp_fx, lp_snare, lp_crash, lp_shaker)
for 6 new matrix tracks. Foundation only -- not yet wired into
matVoices/the grid (the 22-voice x 64-bar core change + preset
migration + web overhaul comes next).
Web-researched the iconic machines per style and added 7 more:
Minimoog (ladder bass/lead), Roland JP-8000 supersaw (trance/
progressive), Juno-106 (chorus pad), Yamaha DX7 (FM), E-mu
SP-1200 (12-bit drum crunch), Akai sampler (lo-fi grit) and
Roland System-100. Standard UGens only (MoogFF/Latch/DelayC).
Wired per voice into the choices + web mirror; all kit/test
instrument targets kept in the choice lists.
Add faithful-ish TR-909 (kick/clap/hat/ride), TR-808 (kick/clap/
hat/cowbell), TB-303 (acid), Korg MS-20 and Roland SH-101 as extra
matrix instrument choices. All note-terminating (perc+doneAction
or gated ASR), Pbind-safe, with pan + reverb send; standard UGens
only. Wired into ~matInstChoices and the web mirror per voice.
Context: main added a richer capture-modulation palette (more mod sources
and targets in matrix.scd, control.js, launchpad) in parallel with the
complete per-instrument editor build. Both touch the mod/matrix surfaces.
Approach: git auto-merged cleanly (disjoint hunks); validated semantically.
Changes:
- matrix.scd unions the new mod-source/target palette with the step-sequence
engine, pose bindings, and colorDefs steps.
- control.js: the modal Assign pane iterates the enriched MATRIX_MOD_SOURCES,
so the new sources appear automatically; row consolidation and the step and
pose tabs are intact.
Impact: the per-instrument editor (instrument, colors, 16-step per-color
sequencer, capture assignment with the richer palette, pose bindings) coexists
with main's mod palette. SC test PASS, P:0 B:0, node --check OK.
Add horizontal position sources (bodyX, lHandX, rHandX) and make
pan + a per-voice reverb send (rev) modulatable on every voice,
plus cutoff on perc and reese. All lp_ synthdefs gain pan + rev
(send to the reverb bus, nil-safe); perc/reese gain a cutoff
control that keeps their freq-tracking timbre when unmodulated.
matrix.scd mod sources/targets/neutral-cut + a rev modPairs
branch (in the color-editor overlay); web mod mirror updated.
Consolidate per-row instrument select and mod controls into a
tabbed modal (Instrument, Colors, Sequence, Assign, Poses tabs).
Remove .minst/.mmod/.minst-head/.mmod-head from matrix rows;
.minst-edit stays as modal trigger. WS echo handlers repointed
to modal elements (#cd-inst-sel, .cd-mod-src/tgt/dep), updating
JS state regardless of modal visibility. Steps/poses panes are
empty stubs, requesting /matrix/steps/get and /matrix/poses/get
on open (wired in Tasks 6-7).
Adds nil-guard to ~matPoseFire's per-voice binding loop to prevent
raised when ~matPoseBindings[vi] is nil. Adds gate binding test in
test_matrix.scd to verify \gate action is stored correctly.
- pass base into matVariationOverlay (no double matBaseFor call)
- add nil fallback (? 1.0) on spec[\amp] in mod-amp Pfunc
- push colorDefs for all voices after matLoadFile
- guard Pdef.play to fire once in matAudition routine
- beforeunload stops audition if active (tab close)
- add color-1 identity assertion to test_matrix.scd
Context: main advanced in parallel (octave->freqRatio variation rework,
drone-instrument free fix, mixer/loop/seek) while the per-instrument
color-editor feature was built on an isolated branch. Both heavily edited
~matVariation, producing a semantic conflict.
Approach: keep the color-editor's per-voice editable ~matColorDefs as the
variation source, but adopt main's freq-multiply scheme for octave colors
so editable octaves transpose voices that compute \freq via Pfunc.
Changes:
- ~matVariationOverlay drops \octave; derives freqRatio = 2**octave and adds
a pitched-only \freq multiply, appended with instPair, cdPairs and modPairs
(mod last so live capture overrides static color cutoff/pan).
- ~matVariation reads ~matColorDefs[vi][color] (per-voice editable) instead
of main's hardcoded freqRatio table.
- test_matrix.scd unions the color-editor and loop-region test blocks.
- control.js/control.css/index.html union the mixer/timeline and color-editor
modal additions (auto-merged).
Impact: per-voice editable colors (variation, sound, audition) coexist with
main's freqRatio transpose, per-voice mixer volume, loop/seek, presets, glow,
instrument selection and capture-effect. SC test PASS, P:0 B:0, node --check OK.
The instrument-override / kit feature offered continuous \do_
drones (do_drone, do_body_drone, do_body_gran, do_weather,
do_geo) that have no gate and no doneAction. Driven per-note by
the Pbind they never free and pile up forever (observed 5+
do_body_drone stacked, surviving /matrix/stop).
Drop them from ~matInstChoices, ~matKits and the web mirror;
substitute gated \lp_ sustained voices. ~matApplyInstrument and
~matLoadFile validate against the choices, so saved presets and
kits referencing the drones now fall back to the default voice.
Repurpose AV-Live Concert.app to launch the matrix arranger:
boot SC with MATRIX_ONLY, keep the pose pipeline (feeds the
/pose/* capture-modulation sources), drop the morceau button,
and load a preset (MATRIX_PRESET, default techno_drive) + start
the playhead instead of switching to the concert scene.
Matrix colors 3/5 pushed a dead \octave key; every pitched Pdef
sets \freq directly so the transposition was inaudible. Replace
with a base-\freq multiplier (x2/x0.5) over the Pchain, gated to
pitched voices so drums and instrument overrides keep their pitch.
Add a dedicated sustained \lp_lead SynthDef (gated ASR) and point
Pdef(\lp_lead) at it with \legato so lead notes hold; arp and stab
stay on \lp_pluck.
Merge main (presets, loop/seek, per-voice mixer) into the SDD branch.
matVariation combines main per-voice volume amp with the instPair and
modPairs spread; volume is propagated into the mod amp formula. Both
OSCdef sets (mod/capture + loop/seek) and both test blocks are kept.
Bring the per-instrument mixer (web) and the matrix \amp respecting
per-voice volume (matrix.scd) from origin/main 6a14b3b. Disjoint from
local commits, clean auto-merge.
Add per-voice mod controls (source select + target select + depth range)
sticky-right in each matrix row. WS handlers for /matrix/mod (single)
and /matrix/mods (bulk 48-flat). Persist mod state in localStorage
alongside grid/inst. MATRIX_MOD_TARGETS mirrors SC ~matModTargets.
