Help with the code

[superchargedtoyota]

Hello,

I do not know if this is the correct way to do this but I'd try. I am very very green / new in regards to Github and this programming but I am trying to learn to make the records for my son.

I have SuperCollider IDE open, I have the wslib quak installed. I have opened up the FisherPriceRecords.sc file into SuperCollider IDE. Here is where my error starts. Maybe, I do not understand where I need to put the code. But thank you if you have the time to respond.

I opened up FisherPriceRecords.SC and go down to the very bottom. I have typed there the following

f = FisherPriceRecords.openMIDI("C:\Users\Cody\Downloads\Mario\1.mid".standardizePath, "Mario");

I highlight that code and hit CTRL-Enter and get the following error

ERROR: Class not defined. in interpreted text line 1 char 22:

f = FisherPriceRecords.openMIDI("C:\Users\Cody\Downloads\Mario\1.mid".standardizePath, "Mario");

---

-> nil

Thank you for any info you might have and taking the time to respond.

Hi,

This is a SuperCollider extension. I've added a Quark file which should help you. Evaluate Quarks.install("https://github.com/celesteh/FisherPriceRecords.git");

Then recompile the class library (See the Language menu) and then try the example again.

Thank you for the reply.

I downloaded the FisherPriceRecords.quark file you added.

When I go to the Quarks menu and select load quarks set it will say Installing from file : filepath/FisherPriceRecords.quark

and in the table I get

ERROR: Quark '(' not found

It doesn't seem to do anything after this.

I think I figured it out. Maybe, I don't have time to check at the moment. I put all the files for this github in it's own folder and not the SuperCollider Extension folder. Sorry, I am new. I will check this out and report back. Thank you for your patience.

[superchargedtoyota]

So I have placed the FischerPriceRecords.sc and .schelp within the SuperCollider edtentions folder.

I have installed your FisherPriceRecords.Quark to the downloaded quarks folder.

I hoped up supercollider and recompiled the class library and got the following

Under language --> Quarks I verified that FischerPrice, XML, and WSLib are installed with green check marks.

I then have blank form open and enter

f = FisherPriceRecords.openMIDI("C:\Users\Cody\Downloads\Mario\1.mid".standardizePath, "Mario");

That is the direct path to the midi file.

When I select that line and hit CTRL+Enter I get the following

ERROR: Primitive '_FilePos' failed. Failed.

Thank again for the help.

[superchargedtoyota]

I also tried your code you posted earler EvaluateQuarks.install("https://github.com/celesteh/FisherPriceRecords.git");

and received

Installing FisherPriceRecords Installing wslib Installing XML XML installed wslib installed FisherPriceRecords installed -> Quark: FisherPriceRecords[1.0.2]

Then I went Language --> Recompile Class Library and received.

I then copied

and got ERROR: Primitive '_FilePos' failed. Failed.

[superchargedtoyota]

Do you think the version of supercollider has anything to do with my issues?

[celesteh]

Try

f = FisherPriceRecords.openMIDI("C:\\Users\\Cody\\Downloads\\Mario\\1.mid".standardizePath, "Mario");

[rcamp5656]

I too am looking into this , is there a command line to run that package from withing another program and have it work? I have a full QB64 program that will do all of the work of loading the file etc. fisherpricemenu.txt Russ Campbell

[celesteh]

What this program does is take a MIDI file and from it generate an openScad file. If you program has lists of notes in it and you want to use them to make a record, you can skip using my program and instead add it in to your own. This tuorial should give you an idea of how to do that: https://www.instructables.com/3D-printing-records-for-a-Fisher-Price-toy-record-/

[rcamp5656]

I use the Music Box Maniacs site then a custom batch file to run everything ... I can send the batch file but everything will be up on Github. Thanks Charles.
