expremigen's Issues

Triplets in MISPEL

Question - Can MISPEL specify a triplet in the rhythmic notation?

MISPEL language spec

is there a language spec for MISPEL? Rather than attempting to infer the intention in the examples, it would be very helpful to have a language spec document. For example, given the phrase

 c2_8*2/3\vol{fff}\tempo[120] e g b_8 c3 e g b_4 \vol{f}

how would I repeat it an arbitrary number of times?

syntax error when attempting to import expremigen.io.pat2midi

When I attempt to import the a package, I get a syntax error in the constants on line 37 of
constants.py - the return value is reporting a syntax error.

return f"D{cc_number}"

soundfont for drums

Is there a specific soundfont that needs to be used to map to your drum names? I'm not sure how to create the associations - I'm using fluidsynth with various soundfonts for drums, but don't seem to be making the mappings correctly.

I'm confident I must be doing something incorrectly! I get the following output when I try to
play a drum rhythm that I generated using a generic drum soundfont.

MISPEL incompatible with textX 1.7.0 and higher

Tests and examples that call Mispel() fail with recent textX releases, presumably due to a change made in textX 1.7.0:
"Backward incompatible change: match filters and object processors unified."
