/** @file mmelody.c @author M. P. Hayes, UCECE @date 20 April 2007 @brief Play simple melodies. */ #define MMELODY_TRANSPARENT 1 #include "mmelody.h" /* By default notes are in the scale C4 -> C5. Note the first 12 frets on a six string guitar covers 3 octaves from the pitch E2 (82.41 Hz) to the pitch E5 (659.26 Hz). Tunes are specified using the notation C4C5F4G4C4 but for brevity this can be simplified to C4C5F4GC where the previously specified octave number persists. A problem with this notation is the verbosity when we have something like B2C3B2C3. Most melodies will only require 2 and 3 at the most octaves. The ABC music notation uses CDEFGABcdefgabc'd'e'f'g'a'b'c' to denote 3 octaves from C2 to C5? This uses numbers to indicate note duration, for example, C2 denotes a C of twice the standard duration. For emphasis of first beat in bar, perhaps use ^ to indicate louder, for example, C^. Similarly, to make a note quieter it could have a v suffix. Alternatively, | bar markers could be inserted and perhaps time signatures. By default notes are quarter-notes. It is probably best to define speed in terms of quarter-notes (beats per minute) rather than bars per minute since this requires bars to be defined. Two bars in 4/4 could be represented by C^DEDC^BAB whereas two bars in 3/4 could be represented by C^DEC^DE. So how should we denote note duration? We need to distinguish between 2 identical quarter-notes (A A) played in succession and a half-note since this sounds different. We could use AA to indicate two A quarter-notes. Alternatively, we could use AA to indicate an A half-note. However, for a whole note we would need to indicate this with AAAA. With the latter scheme we could separate two indentical quarter notes with a comma, for example, A,A. Rests are easy. Each space represents one rest of quarter-note duration. Two spaces represent a half-note rest. Alternatively, we could represent this with " /". From a sequencing point of view it is simpler if every symbol represents a quarter-note rather than having variable length notes since this alters the sequencing timing. This favours the approach of using AA to denote a half-note. If I implement a simple attack/decay response then it would be easier to use A/ for a half-note since we would interpret the / as to keep playing the previous note without sounding it again. Alternatively, when each new note is sounded there could be a short delay. >num could indicate jump forward to label num while 3 to represent playing the notes ABC in succession 3 times. This notation could be nested, for example, 2>3. Perhaps denotes playing ABC indefinitely? No I prefer a simple repeat. Use ABC: for an infinite repeat. represents ABCDEABCFG where ]n denotes alternate endings. */ enum {MMELODY_SCALE_SIZE = 12}; static void mmelody_ticker_set (mmelody_t mmelody) { uint16_t speed; speed = mmelody->speed * mmelody->note_fraction; TICKER_INIT (&mmelody->ticker, mmelody->poll_rate * 60 * 4 / speed); } static void mmelody_note_play (mmelody_t mmelody, mmelody_note_t note) { mmelody->play_callback (mmelody->play_callback_data, note, mmelody->volume); } /* Specify the default note length in fractions of a measure (bar).
