6844

This new Version is much more responsive

6848 com.drezz.GuttRoll_V0.9.xrnx

no more new features for now.

i will only fix bugs from now on.

think its perty neat now.

enjoy!

new Feature: bidirectional velocity cicling:

6845

rep. clicking on the blue velocity squares can now increase or decrease the velocity level

new Feature: per string standard velocity levels - insta-humanizing:

6843

new Feature: alternative tunings:

6834

new Feature: tabview options, show defined tracks side by side with the current selected track:

write your melody while having your chords and bassline in sight!

6835

6836

GuttRoll

in it simplest form it shows a guitar fretboard that lets

you write notes to the pattern editor by clicking the strings

on the desired fret positions.

you can navigate the patterns and lines in the common way

and GuttRoll will pick up and display notes that you allready

have written

6847

the blue square next to the note names on the fretboard

let you cycle trough eight velocity levels for each note.

you can define the direction of cycling by clicking the

increase/decrease button below the fretboard.

6846

The add Note Offs option

when enabled, on each note/chord event all untouched strings get

muted ( “off” in Pattern Editor ).

when disabled, strings would ring until they get played again.

an individual note damp event that let you mute a string insted of

playing it is planed.

The Tab Sheet

you can click the tab diagramms to navigate within the pattern

the resolution is limited to 16 chord/note events per pattern

the pattern lengths need to be multiples of 16

the tab sheet may not work for impossible to grip chords

they work in the fretboard view but in the tab sheet some notes will

not get displayed. They remain in the pattern though.

bugfix:

-fixed tabs with open strings

-fixed on_velocity_click bug

-fixed group track , send track , master track bug

other;

added option to omit note offs

-alternative tunings

-new tab view option

-saver and faster

This looks wonderful. This will be the first tool I want to try when I get my computer back from repairs!

Meef_Chaloin · June 30, 2016, 1:33am

Looks incredible but where do we download it from?

noisetoys · June 30, 2016, 5:08am

Really lookin forward to this !

Jonas · June 30, 2016, 5:35am

Nice one, this might get my father into tracking .

slippycurb · June 30, 2016, 2:50pm

thats class, good work

James_Britt · June 30, 2016, 10:38pm

Interested in trying this, but I cannot find the link to the tool.

EDIT:Link is now in the original post

Looking forward to trying this one out!

What a great tool! This is really going to change the way I compose music!

There is still couple problems… Tool keeps adding this E-Guitar instrument. Would it be possible to get option to disable that? It would be nice to use tool with multiple tracks - so it would be only an interface, nothing more.

It would be also nice to have able to change default octave of generated output. Well, I could transpose output afterwards (pretty slow) but then sheets are also transposed (unconventional).

EDIT

Ifound _load_instruments_option from main.lua. When that is marked to false, E-guitar doesn’t appear.

But I cannot add VSTi’s to those tracks. If I do and then restart guttroll, another guttroll-tracks are added above old ones. And then I cannot composeold ones with guttroll any longer. I would like to use guttroll with multiple tracks. Could it bepossible… in distantfuture?

I also found advanced option from main.lua. I added option to thegui to changetrack. Didn’t work

Another issue… When I try to change Z00 -option from gui, error appears:

main.lua

.\gui.lua:69: attempt to index field 'write_z_comands' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
 .\gui.lua:69: in function <.\gui.lua:68>

Hey, so glad you like it. i just uploaded a new Version that fixes a couple of things including the ones you mentoined.

I just Uploaded a new Version with a couple of fixes. please try it again and report back.

weedwalker · July 5, 2016, 12:27pm

jachy: you can ajust the pitch inside the instrument

6822

does that work?

weedwalker · July 5, 2016, 12:32pm

jachy: as for the advanced mode, this is stuff that is not working so i hid it away. I should have named this option differently

I asume you would like to use the tool on more than just the dedicated two tracks?

Yes, now Z00 thing works.

jachy: you can ajust the pitch inside the instrument

instrument tuning.png

does that work?

Well, I’m using VSTi’s but I managed to change tuning from here:

This is great! It’s also possible to use a capo

jachy: as for the advanced mode, this is stuff that is not working so i hid it away. I should have named this option differently

Yes, that’s would be perfect!

Shortcut key to guttroll would also be a nice addon.

weedwalker · July 5, 2016, 8:49pm

Just uploaded a new version without instruments. you can GuttRoll in any track now.

also shortcut Key added. you find it under Global:Tools:GuttRoll

Please tell me how you like it now.

Very nice! And fast!

I found couple issues.

Chords that have at least one open note (Like E-notes on E major) won’t show at sheet display.
This could be related: when I create E major chord on 00, then move to 04 and try clicking bottom E-note, there comes error:

main.lua:313: attempt to index local 'selected_note' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
  main.lua:313: in function 'delete_notes_exept'
  main.lua:348: in function 'write_chord'
  .\sheet.lua:57: in function 'on_velocity_click'
  .\sheet.lua:31: in function <.\sheet.lua:31>

I test more throughly when I have some spare time. Thank you very much for this gem! B)

I haven’t had much time to play with this properly yet but I tried it for a few mins and it seems excellent. I’m so grateful that this has been made, it will make writing so much easier for me.
