It's the beginnings of an #rstats package for experimental mangling of #MIDI files. TBH, it's my personal experimental hacky-code base wrapped in R package clothing. I'm messing with it constantly, and sharing in case others are interested. #genRativemusic#Rmuzak#rstatsmusic
{midiblender} functions might become stable and useful for others down the line. Right now, I'm using the R package skeleton as a way to bring clarity to my own coding explorations, and sharing as I go.
This "getting started" vignette might have enough breadcrumbs to follow along.
Otherwise, my plan is to continue posting code and such from MIDI mangling experiments on my music blog, and slowly firm up {midiblender} along the way.
While putting the package together I realized I had some neat ideas about incrementally filtering MIDI based on expectations for note probability from corpus calculations, so that's the theme for the next post. Will it blend? I hope so.
Soo nice to see you doing all these things with midi in R. I'm really happy to have contributed to your adventures and feel honoured that you dived so deeply into my packages.
I meant to write much earlier, but every time I looked back at your posts you had already produced new things and I wanted to catch up first. Really love the energy how you write about your journeys on your blog. Seeing this new package now is truly amazing! Congrats!!
@MattCrumpLab This looks really interesting. Would it be possible to map the midi dataframe values to other dataframes e.g., road lengths? Then synchronize the animation of a road network drawing with the blended midi file?
@transportationtalk Sounds possible. If each data frame had a column designating interval values that you want to line up, then you should be able to perform a join and merge them.
@MattCrumpLab Awesome stuff! And just in time to answer my partner's latest question: "is there anything that #Rstats cannot do?" (asked in response to my excitement this evening about making websites using #Quarto)
@ElenLeFoll Thanks, and #rstats {knitr} etc. and now #QuartoPub has been a total game changer for me. Websites galore!
Plus, I think if I keep noodling with {midiblender} I might accidentally push it out of hobby land into #cogsci territory, which should be even more fun!
