Hi,

my first post to the list. I hope MIDI issues are appropriate for
it. I'm an amateur classical guitar player and I'm starting to use the
computer as a "partner" to play duets, trios, etc.

At the moment I just enter a score in either GNU Denemo or Rosegarden,
then just tweak a little bit the tempo and the velocities to make it
more musical and then I play along with that. But the whole thing is
very time consuming, so I'm looking for an alternative way for note
input. I am hoping for something like the following:

1. I just enter the notes, regardless of the duration of each of them.
2. Then I go into a second phase, where (using the PC keyboard or a MIDI
    keyboard) I just worry about the rhythm (the note durations). Every
    time I press a new key in the keyboard the program would play the
    next note from the ones entered in step 1. and record its duration. I
    don't care about how the score will look with these durations. I just
    want an easy way to create a more musical accompaniment. This way, at
    this step I only have to worry about the durations of each note.
OK, so in the end I did a proof-of-concept implementation of this with
Pure Data, and it works really great. I put it in recording mode and I
enter the notes (for the moment no chords) without worrying about
durations. Then I go into recording-duration mode, and then regardless
of which key I press in the keyboard, the pitches to be played come from
the previously entered list, so I only have to worry about playing them
with the rhythm and velocity (MIDI velocity) I want.
Well done ;)

Lorenzo.
When I sent this request to the list I had only heard about Pure Data,
but I had no idea of what it really was. I just followed about 1-2 hours
of video tutorials in YouTube, and I was able to write this little
application in a very quick time. Kudos to Pure Data, I think I'm going
to be using it quite a lot in the future.

Cheers,
