How to open a Mellite workspace

Make sure you have the latest version of Mellite - you can download it from here - instructions are here. Read the instructions also for information on SuperCollider installation.

If have extracted the Mellite zip download, you should be able to launch Mellite from the bin directory. It takes a moment to come up. Once the menu appears, you can then open the workspace that you have downloaded separately (extract the .mllt.zip archive to obtain the .mllt directory/database). Select File > Open and go into the parent directory of the .mllt workspace, here select the .mllt directory (do not double click), then select the Open button.

Running Negatum

Build using sbt assembly.

When using run.sh, a RAM disk must have been created:

mkdir /tmp/ramdisk
chmod 777 /tmp/ramdisk
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=256m myramdisk /tmp/ramdisk

Options are something like

--workspace /data/projects/Infiltration/workspaces/NegatumTrunk11.mllt --template /data/projects/Infiltration/audio_work/trunk11/trunk_47e8301c-%d-hilbert-curve.aif --end-frame 500 --gen-population 800

  • java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/ramdisk -jar Mellite.jar -r Tweak,Select --headless NegatumTrunkNs.mllt
  • java -jar Infiltration.jar copy-folder --in NegatumTrunkNs.mllt --out TrunkNpar.mllt --folder out
  • optimize
  • parametrize
  • remove-simple
  • copy MakeChains-empty into workspace that has par ("TrunkNparC.mllt"); set par in the controls
  • java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/ramdisk -jar Mellite.jar -r CorrGroup --headless TrunkNparC.mllt
  • make-chains (no 'tie')
  • java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/ramdisk -jar Mellite.jar -r CorrEnds --headless TrunkNparC.mllt
  • make-chains --tie (play around with --tie-strength and --tie-distance if tying fails; try --tie-distance 0.01 first, if still failing, begin increasing --tie-strength 2.0 --tie-distance 0.02 etc.)
