Quote of the day: “Remember that musicians always think in terms of a beat, not the passage of seconds, minutes, etc.”
Staring at a text editor for hours trying to convert line position to time would be hella easy if time = time, not whatever MIDI thinks it is. Math wizards, help a whiner out?
What I don’t want: More english.
I had the same fist clenching in my Notes Randomizer thread. Pages upon pages of undecipherable garbage trying to explain keys, when the answer was simply to rotate a Lua table.
What I do want: Lua.
Preferably generic enough so that in the future, when I refer to past threads, it’s actually useful and not barely info, weeks pass, skip to undecipherable and implemented code.
Argh.
