There are two basic Belcanto commands. Hey and listen
Hey enables a single command as demonstrated in this example
  |
|
| metronome | hey |
Press enter
For the next line you write only the metronome will listen
 |
| start |
If you want to say something else you must type;
|
|
| metronome | hey |
 |
| stop |
Listen enables multiple commands with many agents;
|
  |
| metronome | listen |
|
|
| drummer | listen |
 |
|
| plumber | listen |
To start a conversation type;
 |
|
| empty | join |
This makes sure you are not talking to any other agents by accident
|
|
| metronome | listen |
anything you type from now on the metronome will respond to
To end this conversation with the metronome type;
|
|
| empty | join |
or
|
|
|
| metronome | un | listen |
To change the speed of the metronome;
|
|
| metronome | listen |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| tempo | to | 4 | 0 | 0 | set |
Note the verb always goes at the end of the sentence
To set the minimum tempo of the tap tempo function;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| minimum | tempo | to | 1 | 0 | 0 | set |
Check the wiki page for variables of each agent and a list of parameter possibilities. These are called ports.
When the metronome is running you can use the following verbs as commands
start
stop
tempo up
You can access these keys via the language key talker
Then using the language keys on the Eigenharp say
|
|
| metronome | hey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| tempo | to | 1 | 0 | 0 | set |
|
|
| audio | hey |
|
|
| recorder | set |
When finished say;
|
|
| audio | hey |
|
|
|
| recorder | un | set |
You can find this recording in User/library/Eigenlabs/ [software version]/ audio
The agent we need to talk to is called the midi controller
midi controller 1 is the agent for midi output 1
midi controller 2 is the agent for midi output 2
In the Alpha factory setups
Input 1 = strip controller 1 [continuous number 1]
Input 2 = strip controller 2 [continuous number 2]
input 3 = breath controller [continuous number 3]
On the pico
Input 1= strip controller [continuous number 1]
Input 2 = breath controller [continuous number 2]
To change the Alpha strip controller 1 to midi CC 100;
|
|
|
|
| midi | controller | 1 | hey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| continuous | number | 1 | to | 1 | 0 | 0 | set |
To change the Alpha breath controller to midi CC number 1;
|
|
|
|
| midi | controller | 1 | hey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| continuous | number | 3 | to | 1 | set |
