 and and some others and he's gonna talk about jamming with guitars and sense using baseball please Paul go ahead thank you for the introduction Marco hello everyone good morning good evening wherever you are I'm glad to be here I'm Paul I'm a software developer I usually share topics around software development and data with the community today I'll be sharing from one of my hobbies which is music production it's something that I've been dabbling with during the past year or so one of the softwares that I came across and used during that period is miss Pope having used a lot of music production softwares in the past decades I am fascinated by the amount of features this software delivers due to time constraints we won't be covering all of these features but I'm excited to share with you my favorite modules that I often use miss Pope is an open-source modular digital audio workstation for Mac windows and Linux it was started by Ryan Scholliner in 2011 it also has an active discord community Ryan is also there helping answer questions whenever users like me have increase what attracted me to misspoke is the way the user interface is designed as a guitarist like what you can see here we also usually have effects boxes lined up unconnected via cables this experience is silly translates with how this book is designed I can just connect the modules with lines like how I connect like pedal effects with cables like you can what you can see here on the screen there's a signal generator connected to the output module connected by just a line perhaps one of the best ways I can share this with you is through a sequence of demos I'll share how to create a sound using an oscillator I've also have a midi controller right now that I can share with you how to use with misspoke will add some drums to give a steady rhythm to our song and lastly I'll share how to connect an audio input like this guitar so let's start with the first demo how to create a sound so before I open up this spoke let me just discuss the different modules that I will be using for this demo the one that you can see at the bottom is called the output module this just basically routes the audio to your speakers the one right above the splitter it's just fits the audio signal into two mono signals if you have two left and right speakers and then the gain module just based to adjust the volume of the whole setup but the gut here is also an oscillator it generates the audio signal with a specific waveform although it has other features like filter and go and stop but I won't be covering that for me as long as I can select the saw wave square wave and so on that's fine for our purposes and what you can see on the left side is a note sequencer it helps us loop a sequence of notes so basically we can just paint our notes here and we can drive the sound going to the output so let me just open up this phone and share to you a little bit of that let me load a blank canvas so what you can see here is usually the default setup for this phone you have the default set of modules for here open the oscillator so that we can choose what sound we can generate if I connect it here you won't be able to hear the sound yet because we don't have any driver for that sound so what they can add here next is a note sequencer like what you can see in the slide a while ago I'll be connecting this to the oscillator and then once connected I can just draw the notes that I want to play if you can hear you should be able to hear the sound let me just increase the gain so that you'll be able to hear it so I can play different notes with this I can also randomize the length of the pitch to decrease it to 16 so I've created a sort of baseline using the notes you concern and this particular oscillator so let's put that aside for now let's check what's the next setup that we can do with this phone so the next one is adding an external meaning controller so right now what you can see here in the slide I have this Tanuki Studio which is a meaning controller it simulates the keyboard and stuff that you can connect with this phone so you can drive the notes that just paint them as you saw a while ago so before we go to the actual demo let me just run through the modules that are needed we have the MIDI controller to link the hardware input from our MIDI keyboard we also have the R Plus Pro which is a sim so that we can simulate the block stream and then we also have the note looper the note looper is like your traditional looper but if you want to keep playing the set of chord progressions you can use this so that you can just keep on repeating and lastly I'll just show a little bit of scripting because it also enables you to use Python scripting for line coding so that's let me open that let me just check if everything's fine from the calling shot okay let's go back to the demo now I'm going to open the Tanbus again and what I will do here is I'll get the synth where's that car plus drone so that I can simulate the sort of block string and then I'll bring my MIDI controller module and then from the MIDI controller I'm going to choose my nano-p studio and I'm going to play it right now if you can hear you should be able to hear the if I want to use a looper so that I don't keep playing the notes that I'm playing over and over again I'm going to add the note looper and instead of directly putting it there I'm going to put it in between the synth and then the my MIDI controller module so here you can see the movement I'll need to click right here so that the next time I press the notes it will record do this and sometimes if I hit the record and it's not syncing on time I can basically move it within the same module so you want to add an effect using the script thing let's say if adding echo is a little bit of an effect that we can use I can add that using a script here I'll just choose that note and load it as you can see this is a python script I'll just run it but it's not yet connected so it won't be able to apply the echo yet so I'm going to connect it here to our module script module and then when I connect it to the synth it should have nicer to hear and explain the flux string and now we'll add the base that we've created in the first demo so that you have the base and the flux string playing together so what we have now is a MIDI controller using the MIDI nexus we're going to add some moves to our setup so we're going to add the drums to open up the demo I'm going to add two new modules here first which is just a sample player so you have the kick drums the snare the hi-hat and so on and we have the drum sequencer as well so that you know and correct which samples to play on which part of the song or the part of the bar so let me open that again and let me open some of the setup for the setup for stage two so if you can see we have the drum sequencer and then we have the drum player here I'll just turn off the drum sequencer for now so that if I expand the drum player you can see the different samples that I can play so basically I can choose the kick drum the snare and so on but eventually if you want to play the music as a whole bar with a whole four four beat then we would need the drum sequencer to play it accordingly so this zero corresponds to the random zero here in the kick number two here corresponds to the snare and then this number five here corresponds to what's its number part the clap so if I play the drum sequencer you should be able to hear the whole sequence so now we have the drums let's add the bass that we had a while ago or we have the sort of add to the guitar with third parties for calling instrument that you can load in this book so you can use it like a normal amp knobs and then you can use the presets as well but for this case I'll just use perhaps maybe some drive and then for the looper part before I use the looper let's add a little bit of drums so that I know where to come in when I'm playing the looper drums let me add so effected capture record rest of the questions I'm going to
