kennethreitz 72aa097552 Tie long notes across barlines in to_abc() — v0.41.4
Notes longer than one measure are split into tied pieces so abcjs
can render them correctly (e.g. 16-beat choir drone becomes four
tied whole notes).

Five new synth waveforms: tape-replay Mellotron (strings/flute/choir
tapes with wow, flutter, saturation, 8s fadeout), hard sync oscillator,
ring modulation, wavefolding, and analog drift VCO with pitch
instability. 14 new instrument presets for Score.part(). Synth kwargs
now pass through play()/save()/_render(). 808 bass envelope fixed
from pluck to piano.

kennethreitz e0a1ce9d18 Fix hold() inflating Part.total_beats and Score.duration_ms — v0.40.8
Note.beats now returns 0.0 for held notes (_hold=True), matching the
renderer which already skipped advancing the beat position. Previously
every hold() call added its full duration to the part's total, causing
duration reports to be 2-3x too long on tracks with drone notes.

kennethreitz db7fabf985 Fully restore original ge_bend synth — only keep dispatch override

2026-03-30 02:10:59 -04:00
kennethreitz a07b7e7cea Restore original ge_bend synth, keep only the envelope fix
Reverted all frequency/harmonic changes — original thump, metal, sub,
click all restored. Only change from original: envelope uses exp(-0.8*t)
instead of _exp_decay(n_samples, 6) so the sweep sustains long enough
to be audible. Dispatch override for sound_value 108 kept to bypass
stale closure.

kennethreitz 7245cd0e51 Fix tabla ge_bend: bypass stale dispatch closure, improved sweep synth
The dispatch dict lambda was holding a stale function reference that
survived module reloads. Added explicit override for sound_value 108
to always call the current _synth_tabla_ge_bend directly.

Synth improvements:
- Sweep: 50→450Hz with slow exp(-1.5t) so ear tracks the bend
- Sustain: exp(-0.8t) envelope gives ~1.2s of audible signal
- Removed static sub/metal that masked the sweep
- Added 2nd harmonic for richness

kennethreitz 9e85a48d0e Fix ge_bend decay — envelope was killing the sweep before it was audible
Replaced _exp_decay (which uses sample-count-based decay and was too fast)
with a direct time-based exponential: exp(-0.8*t) giving ~1.2s of signal.
The sweep from 50→450Hz is now actually hearable.

kennethreitz 95b7bd830c Fix tabla ge_bend synth — wider sweep, longer sustain, actually audible
- Sweep range: 50→450Hz (was 60→240Hz)
- Slower sweep rate: exp(-1.5t) so ear can track it (was -4t)
- Longer sustain: decay rate 2.5 (was 6) — bend lives long enough to hear
- Removed static sub and metal that masked the sweep
- Added 2nd harmonic for richness
- Louder body (1.2 gain)

Formant synthesis: glottal buzz source through parallel bandpass
filters at vowel resonance frequencies. Supports 5 vowels (A E I O U)
with consonant onsets (plosives, sibilants, nasals, fricatives,
liquids, aspirates, glides). Per-note lyrics via Part.add(lyric=).

Best for choir pads — vowel sounds with cathedral reverb and detune.
Consonant synthesis is rudimentary (noise bursts, not real speech).

Presets: vocal (solo), choir (detuned ensemble).

kennethreitz f6fb2a2cd6 Fix B#/Cb octave boundary crossing (fixes #45)
B#4 now correctly resolves to C5 (523.25 Hz), not C4 (261.63 Hz).
Cb4 now correctly resolves to B3 (246.94 Hz), not B4 (493.88 Hz).

When an accidental crosses the B/C octave boundary, the octave is
adjusted: sharps crossing B→C increment, flats crossing C→B decrement.
Also handles double sharps (B##→C#5) and double flats (Cbb→Bb3).

kennethreitz aec9a999cb Arabic maqam JI ratios: Zalzalian neutral third (27/22)
Maqam system now uses just intonation ratios instead of 24-TET:
- Quarter-tone positions use Zalzalian (11-limit) ratios
- Mi↓ (the defining Rast note) is exactly 27/22 from Do
- Standard JI intervals for chromatic positions
- Septimal ratios (7-limit) for other quarter-tone positions

Research confirmed: Turkish 53-TET and Thai 7-TET are already
correct as equal temperaments. Gamelan has no universal ratios
(each ensemble is unique), so TET remains the best default.

All notable changes to PyTheory are documented here.
## 0.41.4
- **Fix** — `to_abc()` now ties long notes across barlines instead of emitting
oversized durations that abcjs can't render (e.g. 16-beat notes become four
tied whole notes).
## 0.41.3
- **Fix** — `to_abc()` now skips parts with only drum tones or rests (no pitched
notes), fixing "pitch is undefined" errors in abcjs. Chords are correctly
recognized as pitched content.
## 0.41.2
- **Auto bass clef** — `to_abc()` detects low-register parts (808, bass, timpani)
and assigns `clef=bass` automatically based on average note octave.
## 0.41.1
- **Fix** — `to_abc()` no longer crashes on parts containing drum tones.
## 0.41.0
- **ABC notation export** — `Score.to_abc()` converts scores to ABC notation
strings. Supports multi-voice scores (via `V:` directives), chords, rests,
accidentals, and all standard durations. Pass `html=True` to get a
self-contained HTML page that renders sheet music in the browser via abcjs.
## 0.40.9
- **Mellotron synth** — tape-replay keyboard with wow/flutter, tape saturation,
bandwidth limiting, hiss, and 8-second tape fadeout. Three tape banks via the
`tape` parameter: `"strings"` (default), `"flute"`, and `"choir"`.
- **Analog oscillator synths** — four new waveform generators for fat, alive,
analog-style sounds:
- `Synth.HARD_SYNC` — slave oscillator hard-synced to a master (Prophet-5
leads). `slave_ratio` parameter controls harmonic content.
- `Synth.RING_MOD` — two oscillators multiplied for metallic, bell-like
inharmonic tones. `mod_ratio` parameter.
- `Synth.WAVEFOLD` — west coast wavefolding (Buchla-style). `folds` parameter
sweeps from warm to gnarly.
- `Synth.DRIFT` — analog VCO with pitch drift, jitter, and noise floor.
`shape` parameter (`"saw"`, `"square"`, `"triangle"`, `"pulse"`) and
`drift_amount` for instability level.
- **Synth kwargs passthrough** — `play()`, `save()`, and `_render()` now accept
`**synth_kw` for forwarding parameters to synth wave functions (e.g.
`play(tone, synth=Synth.MELLOTRON, tape="choir")`).
- **14 new instrument presets** — `mellotron`, `mellotron_strings`,
`mellotron_flute`, `mellotron_choir`, `sync_lead`, `sync_lead_bright`,
`ring_mod_bell`, `ring_mod_metallic`, `wavefold_warm`, `wavefold_gnarly`,
`drift_saw`, `drift_square`, `analog_pad`, `analog_bass`.
- **808 bass envelope fix** — changed from `pluck` (zero sustain, wrong for 808)
to `piano` (sharp attack with long decay tail).
## 0.40.8
- **Fix hold() inflating duration** — `Note.beats` was returning the full
duration for held notes (`_hold=True`), causing `Part.total_beats` and
`Score.duration_ms` to overcount. A part with `hold(Sa, WHOLE * 4)` followed
by `add(Pa, QUARTER)` would report 17 beats instead of 1. Now held notes
return 0 beats, matching the renderer which already skipped advancing the
timeline for held notes.
## 0.40.7
- **Expose missing Synth enum entries** — rhodes, wurlitzer, vibraphone,
pipe organ, and choir wave functions were already implemented but not
accessible via the Synth enum. Now available as `Synth.RHODES`,
`Synth.WURLITZER`, `Synth.VIBRAPHONE`, `Synth.PIPE_ORGAN`, `Synth.CHOIR`.
## 0.40.6
- **Saxophone presets cleaned up** — removed lowpass filters and vel_to_filter
from all sax instrument presets (saxophone, alto_sax, tenor_sax, bari_sax).
The saxophone wave function already shapes its own spectrum; the extra
filters were dulling the tone.
## 0.40.5
- **Saxophone synth overhaul** — reed nonlinearity (asymmetric soft clipping),
conical bore formant resonances, breath noise with attack envelope, separate
reed buzz, key click transient, and sub-harmonic warmth. Vibrato dialed back
to subtle, delayed onset.
## 0.40.4
- **Distortion overhaul** — multi-stage clipping (preamp → power amp →
asymmetric rectifier) replaces single-stage tanh. Crunch, distorted,
orange crunch, and metal guitar presets now sound properly driven.
## 0.40.3
- **Crotales synth** — tuned bronze discs with long ring and bright harmonics
- **Tingsha synth** — paired Tibetan cymbals with beating from two detuned discs
- **Rain stick** — cascading pebbles (steep and slow/shallow variants)
- **Ocean drum** — steel beads rolling inside a frame drum, surf wash
- **Cabasa** — metal bead chain on cylinder, bright metallic scrape
- **Wind chimes** — multiple suspended metal tubes ringing at random offsets
- **Finger cymbal** — single zill tap, bright metallic ping
- `crotales`, `tingsha`, `singing_bowl`, `singing_bowl_ring` instrument presets
- Audio demos in docs for all new sounds
## 0.40.2
- **Master compressor dialed back** — threshold raised from 0.5 to 0.7,
makeup gain capped at 3x. Sparse arrangements no longer get
over-amplified to clipping.
## 0.40.1
- **Singing bowl synth** — two variants: strike (mallet hit with chirp
and long decay) and ring (rim-rubbed sustained tone with slow build).
Inharmonic partials beat against near-degenerate mode pairs for
authentic Himalayan bowl shimmer.
- `singing_bowl` and `singing_bowl_ring` instrument presets
- Audio demos in docs for both variants
## 0.40.0
- **Rhodes electric piano synth** — tine + tonebar + electromagnetic
pickup model. `electric_piano` preset now uses dedicated `rhodes_synth`
instead of FM
- **73 audio demos in docs** — every synth, every drum pattern, every
code example with `play_score()` now has an embedded audio player
- Idiomatic demos: harp arpeggiates, guitars strum, cello bows, sitar
drones, strings use ensemble
- Trailing silence trimming on all audio exports
- Raw waveform demos (no envelope) for classic waveforms
## 0.39.3
- **33 audio samples in documentation** — every `play_score()` example
now has an embedded stereo audio player. Covers quickstart, sequencing,
drums (all world percussion), playback, and cookbook.
- **`docs/generate_audio.py`** — renders all doc examples to WAV
- Numpy vectorization: cached time arrays, decay envelopes, drum hits;
vectorized piano harmonic synthesis
- Fixed acid legato example (removed pad envelope, added proper 303 recipe)
## 0.39.2
- **Marching percussion** — snare, rimshot, and stick click sounds with
high-tension kevlar synthesis and woody-metallic rimshot crack
- **`Part.flam()`**, **`Part.diddle()`**, **`Part.cheese()`** — marching
rudiment methods for any drum sound
- **`Part ensemble=`** — duplicate voices with per-player timing tendencies
and micro pitch drift. Works on any Part (drumline, string section, choir).
`ensemble=20` for a full snare line, `ensemble=4` for a string quartet.
- **Sympathetic resonance** — marching snare buzz builds up with repeated
hits, decays during rests (like real snare wire response)
- **4 marching patterns** — march, cadence, paradiddle, roll
- **Chakradar tabla pattern** — 16-beat tihai of tihais composition
- Song #32: Snare Cadence (flams, diddles, cheese, triplets, 32nds)
## 0.39.1
- **Chakradar tabla pattern** — 16-beat tihai of tihais composition with
3 escalating phrases and a crescendo triplet finale
## 0.39.0
- **Dropped `numeral` dependency** — Roman numeral helpers inlined,
reducing supply chain surface (#47)
- **`Part.ramp()`** — smooth parameter automation with 4 interpolation
curves (linear, ease_in, ease_out, ease_in_out)

- **Improved djembe slap** synthesis
- Song #31: Acid Tabla
## 0.38.2
- **`Part.ramp()`** — smooth parameter automation from current value to
target over a duration. Works for lowpass, reverb, distortion, chorus,
delay, volume, and any `.set()` parameter. Four interpolation curves:
linear, ease_in, ease_out, ease_in_out.
## 0.38.1
- **Dynamic curves** — `Part.crescendo()`, `Part.decrescendo()`,
`Part.swell()`, and `Part.dynamics()` for velocity ramps and custom
curves across a sequence of notes
## 0.38.0
- **Articulations** — `staccato`, `legato`, `marcato`, `tenuto`, `accent`,
`fermata` via `articulation=` on `Part.add()` and `Part.hold()`

with articulation, velocity, and effects support
- **5 new djembe patterns** — dununba, tiriba, yankadi, djansa, mendiani
- **3 new djembe fills** — djembe call, djembe roll, djembe break (30 fills total)
- **Cross-choke drum damping** — striking one sound fades out related sounds
(djembe, hi-hats, cajón, doumbek)
- **Improved djembe slap** — dry goatskin pop instead of snare-like noise
## 0.37.0
- **5 new djembe patterns** — dununba, tiriba, yankadi, djansa, mendiani
- **3 new djembe fills** — djembe call, djembe roll, djembe break (30 fills total)
- **Cross-choke drum damping** — striking one sound on a hand drum fades
out the ring of related sounds (djembe slap kills bass resonance, closed
hat chokes open hat, cajón slap dampens bass, doumbek tek dampens dum)
- **Improved djembe slap** — dry, high-pitched goatskin pop instead of
snare-like noise rattle
## 0.36.6
- **6 new drum fills** — 3 cajón (flam, rumble, breakdown) and 3 metal
(triplet, blast, cascade). 27 fills total.
- Updated drums documentation with fill lists and examples
## 0.36.5
- **Duration arithmetic** — `Duration.WHOLE * 2`, `Duration.HALF + Duration.QUARTER`,
division, and reverse multiply all work now (previously raised TypeError)
## 0.36.3
- **`Part.hold()`** — polyphonic overlap on a single part. Add notes
without advancing the beat position so they play simultaneously.
Enables: piano sustain, sitar drone under melody, guitar strum texture.
