1 -- Basic Semantics V2 for a Reactive Music Cellular Automaton.
2 -- Inspired by the reacTogon.
3 -- Written by Henrik Nilsson, 2016-05-27
4 -- Based on an earlier version.
5 --
6 -- This gives the semantics of a single RMCA layer. The output is
7 -- a high-level representation of notes for each beat. This is to be
8 -- translated to low-level MIDI message by a subsequent translator
9 -- responsible for merging notes from different layers, ensuring that
10 -- a note off message corresponding to each note on message is always
11 -- emitted after the appropriate time, rendering any embellismnets
12 -- such as slides (while not generating too much MIDI data), etc.
13
14 -- ToDo:
15 -- * Add boolean flag to change direction to indicate start tile
16 -- DONE!
17 -- * Change main routine to generate start play heads from board
18 -- DONE!
19 -- * Add an optional restart facility: Maybe Int, restart every n
20 -- bars.
21 -- DONE!
22 -- * Interpret a negative repeat as repeat indefinitely.
23 -- DONE!
24 -- * Interpret a non-positve duration as mute: don't emit any note.
25 -- DONE!
26 -- * Eliminate Ignore as now almost the same as Absorb with duration 0?
27 -- The only difference is that Absorb mostly overrides the repeat count.
28 -- Absorb = Stop {duration 0, repeat 1}
29 -- And as absorb might be a common case, it might be useful to have
30 -- a distinct graphical representation?
31 -- DECIDED AGAINST FOR NOW
