Just checked this on a Mac – – same behaviour.

OSX 10.6.7
Iannix 0.8.2

Ah! I figured out how to reproduce this bug :geek:. It involves creating a GROUP (who’d have thought!!!).

In my most recent example, it looked like this after the disruption:

Unselected…

Selected…

Here’s the sequence of edit actions:

1) Create a group. I’ve been GROUPing three curves, with at least two of them adjacent.
2) Force doc to go dirty by nudging an object (Adding a group unfortunately does not do this — groups are not currently saved with the doc, it seems)
3) Save the doc
4) Exit Iannix
5) Restart Iannix
6) Load the score just edited above
7) Note the extraneous nodes and combining of two curves into one curve.

Score, post-artifacts, attached.

Extra nodes (or call them “drag-handles”) appeared in curves. I don’t know how to reproduce, but had three new ones during a single editing session.

This brings to mind a potentially very useful editing function: In order to fix this, I could not simply delete those spontaneously-appearing nodes. Lacking this, I had to drag the undesired node over the top of one of the original nodes in order to straighten out the line once again (knowing that this would still leave behind a microscopic glitch). There should be a means to delete a particular node. Upon deletion, that curve/line-segment would then redraw itself to connect the remaining adjacent nodes (commonly done in other graphics drawing programs — for example, envelope editing in your typical DAW).

I tried everything to reproduce this (even changed my socks and underwear) but couldn’t, so it seems not to be a product of accidentally clicking, click-dragging, or shift-clicking, etc, on a curve.

Dear everyone,
OK, here’s the download link to the m4l patch iannixtomidi.amxd
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9969610/iannixtomidi.amxd
(you need to have a Maxforlive license to use it in ableton live)
It is a simple but interesting way to create soundscapes, drones and various sick bass or sounddesign effects. There is still alot of possibilities in getting the real programming nerds to make a real interface to control various parametres via midilearn and other functions. I hope you get inspired to do so 🙂

1. put the patch in the folder with maxforlive midi effects.
2. open ableton live.
2. drop the patch from the maxforlive midi effects folder, on a new midi track in ableton live
3. make another midi track, and drop a synth (or effect) of your choice.
4. assign midi from the iannixtomidi track, to the synth track.
5. assign the midi in track, on the synth track, from the iannixtomidi track.
6. click the monitor in, on the synth midi track.
6. check that the velocity in the iannixtomidi patch is set to 127.
7. open the program iannix.
8. open any of the preset drawings in iannix.
9. hit play in iannix in the transportbar.

there should now be sound!

10. play around with the “ms” in iannix the transportbar and the speed slider in forward and reverse direction.
11. change the frequence spectrum in the zmap object (default; 20 2000) in the iannixtomidi patch.
12. use some interesting synths and combine it with other effectsplugins on the synth track 🙂

Make some soundpaintings and sculptures out there!
And a big thank you to the iannix team for making such an amazing piece of graphical software for free!

All the best
Carsten 🙂
