Simple Pattern Explorer (NX music: part 3)

was8bit 2020-01-25 06:43 (Edited)

When in SOUND COMPOSER you see lots of buttons at the top...

There 4 main buttons at the top right corner, the first one on the right is DISK...

Then the next 3 going left of the DISK button are: SOUND. TRACK, PATTERN

SOUND is covered here: https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=863

TRACK is covered here: https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=876

PATTERN is what you will learn with this one...

=====================================

SOUNDS can be played by themselves as sound effects... use the PLAY command

TRACKS let you arrange SOUNDS that will get played , and can be played by themselves... use the TRACK command

PATTERNS let you arrange TRACKS that will get played... use the MUSIC command...

=======================================

Explore this one to help you learn how to arrange (and reuse) tracks to create a whole song :)

You must be psychic was8bit! This came just at the right time! Thanks! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘


was8bit 2020-01-25 08:32

:D

I had it made all along... i just decided to get it posted before i forgot about it :)


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-25 03:57

This is the one i was looking for thanks was8bit and good music in this onw


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-25 04:06

What is the (3) for in the if music(3) = 0


was8bit 2020-03-25 04:43

Ah... do you understand parts 1 and 2... you are not ready for part 3 until you understand both part 1 and part 2...


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-25 05:39 (Edited)

Understand mostly or close to mostly yes
Understand Fully no


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-25 05:43 (Edited)

So once i fully understand 1 and 2 then 3 should make complete sense right
Ive been trough the sound stuff in the help section tons of times so i have a pretty good understanding of it


was8bit 2020-03-25 06:42

Try editing each one... each step has a goal of what to learn...

.. you should be able to predict what effect your edits will have...

.. then make little test programs from scratch to test what you believe you know, these should work as you designed them to work..


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-25 14:05

Nothing different then what i usually do


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-25 14:11

Thanks for the help


was8bit 2020-03-25 16:56

Ok, so let me know when you have worked your way to step 3, and or post any questions along the way :)

.... i technically know how to make music in lowres, i just dont have the musical skills :/ it is always nice to have musically inclined people here :)


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-26 22:09 (Edited)

I dont have music skills for retro game music just metal and electronic(if its not retro video game music)


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-26 22:11

If its not retro video game music i can make some pretty good electronic music


was8bit 2020-03-27 04:47 (Edited)

I like both metal and electronic....

Here are my favs...

Rock: Ventures https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tqC3BjIyq_0

Synth: Art of Noise https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWhzsGY3hA

Metal: Extol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=01qiEmrZTKw


was8bit 2020-03-27 04:56

For electronic, I have bought all of their videos:

Animusic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hyCIpKAIFyo


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-27 05:12 (Edited)

I don’t exactly know what i just watched but it was pretty cool

And i have completed step 3


was8bit 2020-03-27 05:15

Here are some other styles i like

Classical: Andres Segovia https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WFnJ1APJREk

Jazz: Vince Guaraldi https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fk5S0Hcf2s

Blue Grass: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y-xfgKUV0Cw


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-27 05:17 (Edited)

Blue grass is some of the best kind of music ever made and thats not a opinion
Dooley by the dillards is one of the best
So is step 3 the end is that all the music stuff


was8bit 2020-03-27 05:27

was8bit 2020-03-27 05:28

Yep didja get step 3 ok :)


was8bit 2020-03-27 05:31

BTW, to answer your previous question...

=MUSIC

MUSIC(n)
Returns the status of playing music. Specify n for the information you want to get:

0 The current pattern
1 The current row
2 The current tick
3 The current speed (0 = stopped)

So i was wanting the game to wait until the music stopped... :)


was8bit 2020-03-27 05:34 (Edited)

Animusic is the name of the group, not a music style...

GAMELEGEND 2020-03-27 06:31 (Edited)

I think i may have listened to ever epic rap battle of history and i dont even like rap but this is diffrent


was8bit 2020-03-27 06:34 (Edited)

I was doing "weird al" before i even knew him...

Original song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pKfASw6qoag

THESE are probably the original singers of the song..

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bacBKKgc4Uo

MY "weird al" lyrics..

This magic marker...

It doesn't write...

I left the cap off...

Overnight!

;)


was8bit 2020-03-27 06:36

As a kid i was often sent to bed but not sleepy so i would rewrite songs i heard or rewrite tv shows in my mind because i was bored and not allowed to do anything but stay in bed!


was8bit 2020-03-27 06:38 (Edited)

...if u ever need to sleep, play rain sounds or such that help relax yourself, and then redo a tv show but with YOU in it.. either as yourself or as a character in the show... ;)

.. preferably NOT an exciting or stressfull tv show ...


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-27 06:42 (Edited)

Rain sounds are great you can belive or not you can make some good music with just rain sounds ive done it i dont know how but i manages to do it


was8bit 2020-03-27 06:45

Ah... you have talent! :)

The NOISE choice in NX kinda sounds like rain.. if you could make me a sleepy program that would be super cool :)

Here is one i made :)

https://lowresnx.inutilis.com/topic.php?id=1038


GAMELEGEND 2020-03-27 06:49
