Hi all,

I was trying to work with the Steven Yi csound-live-code (thank you so much
for your work, it's amazing!) environment and I wanted to change one thing
in order to be able to set the root of the global scale with a string. 
I decided to use the ntom opcode and keep his syntax.

This is the original Steven Yi UDO:
---
opcode set_root, 0,i 
  iscale_root xin
  gi_scale_base = iscale_root
endop
---

I tried to change it with this:
---
opcode set_root, 0,S 
  Scale_root xin
  iscale_root ntom Scale_root
  gi_scale_base = iscale_root
endop
---

If I use "ntom" Csound says "format not understood".

I tried a simple instrument that use ntom and a string variable and it works
like a charm, but when I pass through the UDO I always get the message
"format not understood".

Do you think there is a problem in my syntax?
Thank you all,
best,

j

Maybe the UDO is not being passed the string at i-time? Try adding a prints to see if it is getting it.

prints Scale

I wonder if there are non-printing characters in there that are confusing ntom and we can’t see them.

Hi Victor,
thank you for your answer.

Yes.. It gets the string, but in the end it doesn’t recognise it.

gi_scale_base init 60

opcode set_root, 0,S 
  Scale_root xin 
  iscale_root ntom Scale_root 
  gi_scale_base = iscale_root 
prints Scale_root
endop 

instr 1
set_root("4E")
prints("\n")
print(gi_scale_base)
endin

Csound compiler:
---
SECTION 1:
new alloc for instr 1:
format not understood
4E
instr 1:  gi_scale_base = 0.000

For me this works correctly:

instr 1
  imidi ntom "4E"
  print imidi
  kmidi ntom "4E"
  printf "kmidi: %d \n", 1, kmidi
  turnoff
endin

after the error message the opcode should be printing the note you passed and its length. If its not printing anything then there is a problem outside the opcode itself.

The problem is using it in a UDO, that was the report. It seems to work ok on an instrument.

Hi Jacques,

(Glad you enjoy the system!)

I tried your code here and it worked without error using latest Csound
compiled from develop branch, MacOS.

Also, I'd be careful about using numbered instruments with cslc in
general due to it possibly overwriting a named instrument that had a
number assigned, but that shouldn't be an issue here.  Another thing
is that you might create customizations to the library by creating
your own #include file that is included separate from livecode.orc.
You could add your own UDOs and instruments there and add the #include
from a custom mylivecode.csd.

All best!
Steven
