Module: MTK::Lang::Intensities

Extended by:

PseudoConstants

Defined in:

lib/mtk/lang/intensities.rb

Overview

Note:

Including this module shadows Ruby’s built-in p() method. If you include this module, you can access the built-in p() method via Kernel.p()

Defines intensity constants using standard dynamic symbols.

These can be thought of like constants, but in order to distinguish ‘f’ (forte) from the PitchClass ‘F’ it was necessary to use lower-case names and therefore define them as “pseudo constant” methods. The methods are available either through the module (MTK::Intensities::f) or via mixin (include MTK::Intensities; f)

These values are intensities in the range 0.125 - 1.0 (in increments of 1/8), so they can be easily scaled (unlike MIDI velocities).

It is also possible to retrieve values in increments of 1/24 by using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ suffix when looking up values via the [] method.
