scamp.transcriber.Transcriber

class scamp.transcriber.Transcriber[source]

Bases: object

Class responsible for transcribing notes played by instruments into a Performance. It is possible to run multiple transcriptions simultaneously, for instance starting at different times, recording different instruments, or recording relative to different clocks.

Methods

is_transcribing()

Checks if any transcriptions are in progress.

register_note(instrument, note_info)

Called when an instrument wants to register that it finished a note, records note in all transcriptions

start_transcribing(...[, units])

Starts transcribing new performance on the given clock, consisting of the given instrument

stop_transcribing([which_performance, ...])

Stops transcribing a Performance and returns it.

Attributes

transcriptions_in_progress

Tuple of all current transcriptions.

property transcriptions_in_progress: tuple[Performance]

Tuple of all current transcriptions.

is_transcribing() bool[source]

Checks if any transcriptions are in progress.

start_transcribing(instrument_or_instruments: Union[ScampInstrument, Sequence[ScampInstrument]], clock: Clock, units: str = 'beats') Performance[source]

Starts transcribing new performance on the given clock, consisting of the given instrument

Parameters:
  • instrument_or_instruments – the instruments we notate in this Performance

  • clock – which clock all timings are relative to

  • units – one of [“beats”, “time”]. Do we use the beats of the clock or the time?

Returns:

the Performance that this transcription writes to, which will be updated as notes are played and acts as a handle when calling stop_transcribing.

register_note(instrument: ScampInstrument, note_info: dict) None[source]

Called when an instrument wants to register that it finished a note, records note in all transcriptions

Parameters:
  • instrument – the ScampInstrument that played the note

  • note_info – the note info dictionary on that note, containing time stamps, parameter changes, etc.

stop_transcribing(which_performance=None, tempo_envelope_tolerance=0.001) Performance[source]

Stops transcribing a Performance and returns it. Defaults to the oldest started performance, unless otherwise specified.

Parameters:
  • which_performance – which performance to stop transcribing; defaults to oldest started

  • tempo_envelope_tolerance – error tolerance when extracting the absolute tempo envelope for the Performance

Returns:

the created Performance
