Python, Ableton... and a Theremin?

[@andrewtruttmann6825]

As a physics/music nerd thanks for making these videos! You've introduced me to the perfect hobby I didn't know existed

[@deastman2]

I just discovered this video, so now I’m off to watch the previous lessons. Very cool!

[@channera]

Great video! Definitely want to try out some of this myself :)

[@StewartEngart]

Great video, deff the center of my life! IMO sometimes the attack on the envelope is a little too punchy for a theremin. Someone reply and let's get this engagement up!

[@neiro314]

loved the vid, but i think you spelled theremin wrong in the title/desc!

[@marcevanstein]

Oh man, I always make that mistake. Fixed!

I have been doing a bit of coding in scamp, but I found a bug. I am trying to use a variable (called number) to use as the pitch, however it just keeps giving me the error code "ScampInstrument.play_note() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'volume' and 'length'." Here's the code FYI: from scamp import * import random s = Session() piano = s.new_part("piano") while True: for pitch in range(48, 84): number = ((random.randint(48,84) + pitch) / 2) piano.play_note((number, 1, .1)) print(number)

[@marcevanstein]

You have double parentheses in the play_note call! That's causing it to interpret it as a single tuple rather than as three different arguments

@@marcevanstein Thank You! I would not have guessed/noticed that.

I would love to use scamp but I am unable to install it on my M1. Already checked your forum and solutions but was unable to execute them properly. Is there any way for support? Would contribute by providing step by step guide or donation.

[@marcevanstein]

Hi --- it should work on an m1, but you generally need to install fluidsynth via homebrew. What issues are you running into?

@@marcevanstein Meh, finally I managed to get it to work. :) used bschwarzmusic's approach from the scamp forum but kinda ruined my path variables somehow... reverting them fixed the issue! thanks for trying to help
