<p>Patroneo is primarily designed for educational purposes, where the main goal is to teach the
|
|
importance of patterns and repetitions in any kind of music. However, Patroneo is a full sequencer
|
|
you can use to create real music. The constraints it presents will more likely boost your
|
|
creativity than suppressing it.</p>
|

</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>You have tracks with one pattern each. Turn on steps in the pattern to play
|

musical notes. Switch the patterns on and off in a sequence to create a song structure.

</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>The <strong>Toolbar</strong> combines various commands with properties of the entire piece.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Clone Selected Track</strong> adds a new track based on the currently selected one. This is an
|
|
important and often used command that is mainly used to enable variants. The cloned track is empty,
|
|
but inherits the scale of the original, its average velocity or volume, color and name. If the name
|
|
ends in a single letter like "A", "g" or a number, it is automatically incremented, as you can see
|
|
in the screenshot. The new track automatically connects to the same JACK instrument.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Add Track</strong> adds an empty track. It is given a random name and is not connected in JACK. Scale,
|
|
note-names etc. will be taken from the currently selected track.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>BPM / Tempo</strong>: The tempo can be completely deactivated by unchecking the box. In this case, the
|
|
"JACK Transport" system takes over, as indicated by the "JACK" logo in the deactivated input field.
|
|
This allows programs running in parallel to create complex tempo sequences, which is not possible
|
|
in Patroneo alone. If the checkbox is activated, the specified tempo is considered to be beats per
|
|
minute. A "beat" is the selected note value of the list. More on that later.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Measures per Track</strong> controls the total length of the piece, whereby the absolute number of
|
|
seconds can change depending on how the tempo is selected and how long a measure should be. If the
|
|
number of measures is reduced, no measures are actually deleted, but just ignored. If you later set
|
|
the number of measures higher again, you will get your old configuration back. Patroneo nevers
|
|
stops playback on its own. Especially in a JACK-transport environment it will continue playing even
|
|
after its own end.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Steps per Pattern, in groups of …​ so that each group produces a …​</strong> note. Here you can set
|
|
how long the patterns are and what grouping below the beat they have. This is the most complicated
|
|
part in Patroneo and will be discussed later in this manual. For now it is recommended to ignore
|
|
the "groups" field. Steps per Pattern is simply the number of tones that can be switched on and
|
|
off. The drop down list selects how long each of these steps is.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Playback Controls</strong> are three buttons. From left to right:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Play / Pause. Press to play or pause the music at the current location. You can also press the space bar.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Loop on and off. The currently played measure (in all tracks) is continuously repeated. This function is suitable for working in a certain place by getting to hear your changes quickly. The loop is broken up by pressing the button again or jumping around in the timeline.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>To the start: Jumps back to the beginning, whether the music is playing or not.</p>

</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>The duration of the loop in measures can be set next to the loop button. As a reminder, the loop is
|
|
a function to try out ideas while composing. It is not suitable, both technically and in terms of
|
|
user interface, to be changed spontaneously during a live performance or recording, or during a
|
|
recording session.</p>

|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Swing</strong> (also called shuffle) can be adjusted by a slider in percent. The slider
|
|
is located on the far right of the toolbar. The slider is only visible when the group
|
|
(see above) is set to either 2 or 4. Swing is also only applied in these groupings.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>The start value is 0% and means: no swing; in a pair of notes both are of equal length.
|
|
By changing the value, you can lengthen the first note of each pair and shorten the second.
|
|
Which amount you like should be decided by listening.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>The swing value has a very different effect, depending on whether a grouping of 2 or 4 notes is
|
|
selected. For example with a grouping of 2, 40% is a moderate value, as experienced in Jazz.
|
|
With a grouping of 4 (same BPM/tempo) already 15% are clearly audible.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>In the <strong>Form Editor</strong> you create the structure of a piece. To do this, the measures in each
|
|
track can be switched on and off as desired. One can imagine, for example, a drum set that plays
|
|
three bars in a row and makes a "break" every fourth bar. For this common drum technique you need
|
|
two tracks. In the screenshot this "3+1" pattern can be seen in the third section (bars 17 to 24)
|
|
in the orange bass track.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>Whole parts (e.g. verse and chorus) are implemented by using different
|
|
tracks. To make the creation of related tracks as comfortable as possible, the "clone" command
|
|
exists.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>It is possible to zoom in on the measures. To do this, hold down the <strong>CTRL</strong> key and turn the mouse
|
|
wheel up or down. Please make sure that the mouse cursor is actually over the measures and not over
|
|
the track names or on the timeline.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Timeline</strong>: a click with the left mouse button sets the playback position, even during
|
|
playback. In addition, the measure groups (not to be confused with grouping in the pattern)
|
|
can be seen and set here. If you hover over the timeline with the mouse cursor, you can
|
|
reduce or increase the size of the groups with the mouse wheel. The groups not only have an
|
|
cosmetical function but are also used as units of measurement if you want to delete or add entire
|
|
ranges.</p>
|

</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p><strong>Track Names</strong>. Here you can move tracks, rename them, give them a different color and more:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>A single click with the left mouse button on a name selects a track without changing anything. This is the best way to just look at a track. (A click on the measure area changes a measure immediately!)</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The double arrow on the far left can be used to move tracks up and down to organize them. It has no effect on the sound or the JACK connections. To move, click on the arrow with the left mouse button, hold it down and move the mouse up and down.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The colored square shows the current color. A left mouse click opens a dialog.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Track names can be changed at any time by a double-clicking with the left mouse button. Press the Return key to finish renaming. The JACK connection is retained when renaming. It is a good habit to end tracks on a single letter or number. These are used in "cloning" to construct a variant of the name. See the screenshot above.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>A click with the right mouse button on a name opens the context menu of a track. Here you can</p>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Switch all measures on or off (only applies to the visible measures)</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Invert the activated measures: Off becomes On and vice versa.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Clone this track (same function as in the toolbar)</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Delete the track permanently and irreversibly</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Copy the measure sequence of another track onto the selected one. Measures that have already been set are preserved. If you use this function from an empty track you will practically get "copy track".</p>

<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>Now finally the <strong>Track</strong> itself. A left click on a measure switches it on or off again. You can
|
|
switch several measures in a row on and off by holding down the left mouse button after clicking
|
|
and moving the mouse left or right. A right click on a specific measure opens a context menu:
|
|
Insert new measures in all tracks(!) at this position or delete measures from all tracks. The
|
|
number of measures results from the current measure group setting from the time line.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>These functions are especially understandable if you apply them to the first measure of a

|
group (after the white line). This allows you to insert new "parts" or delete an entire part.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|

<p>A good method is also to change the group size for these functions briefly and then reset them
|

immediately afterwards.</p>

<p>Halftone transposition (H / Shift+H) changes all notes in this individual bar by e.g. +5h, that is

<p>One can imagine that the steps in the pattern are shifted up or down in the rows behind the scenes.

<p>However, if the scale is chosen freely, there are non-intuitive outcomes; "up and down" with

the pattern itself. The rhythmic consequence is determined by the time signature and subgrouping of

|
the track. Example: If the step delay is set to "2", a tone in column 3 will not sound until column

5. Negative values move them earlier accordingly.</p>

<p>Tones that would sound earlier than 0 or would be shifted behind the end of the bar are ignored at

Augmentation means lengthening and diminution means shortening all note values by a factor.</p>

steps remains the same. Likewise, the notes remain exactly in the "column" in which they were

<h3 id="_translations">4.3. Translations</h3>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>Patroneo is very easy to translate with the help of the Qt-Toolchain, without any need for programming.
|
|
The easiest way is to contact the developers and they will setup the new language.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>However, here are the complete instructions for doing a translation completely on your own and integrating it into the program.
|
|
The program is split in two parts. A shared "template" between the Laborejo Software Suite and the actual program.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>The process is the same for both parts, but needs to be done in different directories:
|
|
<code>template/qtgui</code> and plain <code>/qtgui</code>, relative to the root directory, where the patroneo executable is.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>Everytime you see "template/qtgui" below you can substitute that with just "qtgui" to translate the other part of Patroneo.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>You can add a new language like this:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Open a terminal and navigate to template/qtgui/resources/translations</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Edit the file <code>config.pro</code> with a text editor</p>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Append the name of your language in the last line, in the form <code>XY.ts</code>, where XY is the language code.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Make sure to leave a space between the individual languages entries.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Run <code>sh update.sh</code> in the same directory</p>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The program has now generated a new <code>.ts</code> file in the same directory.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Start Qt Linguist with <code>linguist-qt5</code> (may be named differently) and open your newly generated file</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Select your "Target Language" and use the program to create a translation</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Send us the <code>.ts</code> file, such as by e-mail to <a href="mailto:info@laborejo.org">info@laborejo.org</a></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>You can also incorporate the translation into Patroneo for testing purposes. This requires rudimentary Python knowledge.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Run the "Release" option in QtLinguists "File" menu. It creates a <code>.qm</code> file in the same directory as your <code>.ts</code> file.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Edit <code>template/qtgui/resources/resources.qrc</code> and duplicate the line <code><file>translations/de.qm</file></code> but change it to your new .qm file.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>run <code>sh buildresources.sh</code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Edit <code>engine/config.py</code>: add your language to the line that begins with "supportedLanguages" like this: <code>{"German": "de.qm", "Esperanto: "eo.qm"}</code></p>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>To find out your language string (German, Esperanto etc.) open the <code>python3</code> interpreter in a terminal and run the following command:</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>from PyQt5 import QtCore;QtCore.QLocale().languageToString(QtCore.QLocale().language())</code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph">
|
|
<p>To test the new translation you can either run the program normally, if your system is set to that language. Alternatively start patroneo via the terminal:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="ulist">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 ./patroneo -V --save /dev/null</code></p>
|
|
</li>
|
