What is Amanuensis?
The Amanuensis is an automated songwriting and recording system created by @to-the-sun aimed at ridding the process of anything left-brained, so one need never leave a creative, spontaneous and improvisational state of mind, from the inception of the song until its final master. The program will construct a cohesive song structure, using the best of what you give it, looping around you and growing in real-time as you play. All you have to do is jam and fully written songs will flow out behind you wherever you go.
New Feature
The graph
I implemented a graph for plotting the values in the dictionary rhythm. Rhythm dictionary acted as a sparse array which gets updated as the time passes when the user starts recording. I had to plot the plot the data stored in the rhythm dictionary from the moment referred in spout[0]. The graph should also have to be updated in real time so I was needed to clear the plotted data after the plotting has been done. Matplotlib was used to plot the graph.
Implementation
Python script: https://github.com/to-the-sun/amanuensis/blob/master/consciousness.py
To make the graph real time I created a separate process using Python's multiprocessing library. Also, a queue was created to pass the data to be plotted to the drawing_process in real time. The Queue was made non-blocking to prevent the graph window from freezing, waiting for new data.
Relevant codes
