Re^7: utf8 hash keys revisited: How can i use musical symbols as hash keys?

thank you very much for clarifying this.

I didn't do any MIDI stuff yet, so i wasn't aware of this. But your hint will be mentioned in dispatches ;-)

If you are interested why i do this:

My efforts on this issue are inspired by the Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns by Nicolas Slonimsky, Thesaurus of Intervallic Melodies by Jerry Bergonzi and some writings of Pat Martino, especially Linear Expressions and The Nature Of Guitar

NB.: The original text of "The Nature Of Guitar" seems to be copyright restricted or n/a, i'm not sure about this and so i don't link to this source directly.

For a in-depth explanation of the concepts of Martino you might also take a look at the thesis of Dr. Jörg Heuser.

I thought converting musical symbols for algorithmic analysis to integers (in this case Midi numbers) is a good thing. Even for the price of losing harmonical context.

So far about the background.

Best regards, Karl

Update: ...and i'll fix the wrong octave in my OP ASAP ;-)

FWIW, just to clarify in case you do write about it. Aftertouch is not necessarily used for pitch change (though it’s a great use of it as RonW suggested and could indeed be used for microtonal stuff that given the quality/complexity of today’s sample engines could probably fool pretty much anyone). It’s just another control message and it can be assigned/used for anything. There is also a channel version of the control versus the single note message.	[reply]

It is a very interesting project. Thanks. PS My original reply could have been clearer. My appologies	[reply]
