NoteProcessors

Introduction

NoteProcessors are used in conjunction with soundObjects, and are used post-generation of the soundObject's noteList. They are used to modify values within the noteList.

NoteProcessors can be added via the soundObject property dialog. When a soundObject is selected on the timeline, and if the soundObject supports noteProcessors, you can add, remove, push up, or push down noteProcessors on the property dialog.

NoteProcessors may also be applied to layers to process all notes generated by a SoundObject layer.

Role in Score Generation

NoteProcessors are applied after the notes of the soundObject are generated and before time behavior is applied. Processing starts with the first NoteProcessor in the chain and the results of that are passed down the chain.

Note Processors windows on several levels

Note Processors are available on different levels in the Score.

  • rigth clicking on 'root' opens a Note Processor window for the entire score

  • rigth clicking on 'root/SoundObject Layer Group' opens a Note Processor window for that ScoreObject Layer Group

    if a Note Processor is present on a ScoreObject Layer Group, an asterix is shown.

  • a Note Processor for the individual Layer by pressing the 'N' button of that Layer

  • a Note Processor can but put on most ScoreObjects by adding the Note Processor in the ScoreObject Properties

  • if the ScoreObject is a PolyObject; the PolyObject itself can have Note Processors, but also most ScoreObjects inside the PolyObject.
