SequencomatV3 colors

SequencomatV3 - midi step sequencer in max/msp for the Jazzmutant Lemur by mat@music-interface.com

Sequencomat v3.4 has 20 color templates.
It adjust the color of the control-objects.
All colorcoding is done on the Lemur within a vector named "color",
This color-vector contain 14 values and is located at the main level of the module.

color={15414, 5985536, 8388608, 5985536, 668543, 6490751, 32768, 7950080, 5006592, 8388608, 4653112, 1597843, 15414, 15414});

You can see this color-vector in a monitor at the bottom of the transport section.

"... the value of the color attribute can range from 0 to 8355711:
((R x 2^16) + (G x 2^8) + B), where R, G and B are values between 0 and 127."
(see Lemur_v2.0_Manual.pdf / p.109)

Some color templates are predefined.... to switch use the dropdown menue in the transport section on the Lemur.
Changing this "Colortype.selection" will set a new color vector based on a script "Colortype.action".

Sequencomat v34 colors

Whenever the color vector change, some scripts are triggered on the Lemur.
These scripts set the color of most (but not all) Lemur objects to a special value from the vector.
E.g. the Multiball object in the Roller-section of the sequencer:

.....

setattribute(Roller.Multiball,'color',color[11]);

......

There are 4 scripts handeling all colors:

"magic" set colors of transport, pattern, track, roller
"magic2" set colors of octave, note, velocity, length, delay, /prob, cc
"matrix" set the colors of track according to track selection (triggered by changes in color vector)
"Choice.action" set the colors of track according to track selection (triggered by "Choice.x")

So most control objects on the Lemur will change color to one value of the 14 colors defined in the vector.
These scripts are a shortcut to achive a massive color-change off nearly all objects with only a short number of values.

However

You don´t have to care in detail about all the routing,
All you have to know, which control objects on the Lemur set which value in the color vector:

value	meaning	color set by	color routed by scripts to
color[0]	main BACKGROUND color unselected TRACK OFF	tr0 [off]	track colors in main matrix are set to the actual status of chosen tracks Scripts: "matrix" (triggered by changes in the color vector) "Coice.action" (triggered by changes on trackchoice button "Choice") Script "magic" set some elements of main matrix,Transport, Pattern, Track and Roller-elements to these colors:
color[1]	main FOREGROUND color unselected TRACK ON	tr0 [on]
color[2]	2nd BACKGROUND color selected TRACK OFF	tr1 [off]
color[3]	2nd FOREGROUND color selected TRACK ON	tr1 [on]
color[4]	OCTAVE	Octave.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all Octave-elements to this color:
color[5]	NOTE	Note.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all Note-elements to this color:
color[6]	VELOCITY	Velocity.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all Velocity-elements to this color: Script "magic" set Velocity-elements of Roller to this color:
color[7]	LENGTH	Length.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all Length-elements to this color:
color[8]	DELAY	Delay.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all Delay-elements to this color: Script "magic" set CC X-axis Roller-elements to this color:
color[9]	/PROPABILITY	Prob.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all /Prob-elements to this color: Script "magic" set CC Y-axis Roller-elements to this color:
color[10]	CONTROLCHANGE	CC.MultiSlider	Script "magic2" set all CC-elements to this color: Script "magic" set length of Roller to this color:
color[11]	ROLLPAD	Roller.Multiball	Script "magic" set some Roller-elements to this color:
color[12]	LED unchosen track	tled0 [off]	see color [0, 1, 2, 3] The trackLED also indicate the propability status of a step: BLACK - no tone --- BACKROUND color - tone is played (if set) At the moment this is done by lightvectors only (e.g. "tr0step"), not colors! Therefore you only define the off stati of the 2 LEDs => got to rework that with next update!
color[13]	LED chosen track	tled1 [off]

build a new color-vector:

open "SequencomatV3_color" as module in the Jazzeditor
connect to your Lemur and keep Jazzeditor in sync(!)
start maxpatch (not needed for colorchange, but good to see light interaction)
make sure that track0=unselected track and track1=selected track
change the background color of track0
press "get color" (Lemur button in transport section, near OSCtest button)
"Get color" iniciate a row of things:

script "whatcolor" builds new color vector based on all actual colors
scripts "magic", "magic2", "matrix" set colors of Lemurobjects to the new color vector
monitor in transport section ouput the new color vector
variable "usercolor" (Colortyp.selection=6) is set to the new color vector

now all unselected tracks are set to new selected color.
you can do that with other objects according to the table ("color set by")
you can change one or more colors at once

By getting that snapshot - which will automatically route all colors - keep in mind,
that the color of track0 is always a non-selected track and track1 is a selected track

If you pick a new color in the dropdpwn-menu, your changes are overwritten!

saving your favourite color vector permanently

usercolor

the variable "usercolor" is a 2nd color vector
iniciated by pressing "get color"
it can be saved within Lemur template
but keep Jazzeditor in sync during "get color"
save Lemur template with different name
actual usercolor is saved as default

scripting

watch your color vector in the monitor at the bottom of the transport section

open script in Jazzeditor "Colortype.action"

(you find it inside "Colortype"menu)

now paste your color vector into one of the scriptlines

Unfortunately, you have to type it in to save it within the Lemur template!

=> I will rework that in max anyway, but if someone had an idea meanwhile...

Sometimes you only have to change 1 or 2 values of the whole vector, cause you only changed 1 or 2 colors.
For sure, typing in such cryptic numbers is a bit weird....but better than no way of saving permanently ;)

You can expand the scripts by lines that are not triggered by selection yet, like "if(selection==7)"
and so save a huge number of potential color vectors.
You can also enlarge the number of items in "Colortype", but need to make it smaller in appearance.

Enjoy you color experience.
And if you got a nice color to share, drop me a vector ;)
