Calling ./Pianoteq 8 --list-param shows that Condition can be set from 0 to 10.00. How do I set the random seed for condition?
A separate question, is it possible to use the randomize (dice) button on the command line?
Thank you!
Are you using windows or linux?
Linux, does that matter?
Anyone knows? If it's not possible, that would be good to know too!
Sorry I forgot about this.
I was asking the OS because there are some ways to generate random numbers in the console. So you could write a little bash script or, in windows, a .bat file. But I think it would be much easier to write a Python script (could be a little C program, too).
The most complicated part is to manage the spaces in the folder and file names, I managed to make it work but I don't understand why it works now, neither the reason it did not work at the first try. May be in your distro you'll need to fiddle with the code.
I tested this script and works fine for me under Armbian Linux:
(it should be saved as a Python file, e.g. filename.py next to Pianoteq binary file. If not, you must add the path...)
import os
import randomrandon_number = random.uniform(0, 10) #generate a random number between 0 and 10
print(randon_number)
rounded_number = round(randon_number,2) #round the number to 2 decimals (idk if necessary)
print(rounded_number)
number_in_string = str(rounded_number) #convert from float to string
print(number_in_string)
path_to_pt ="\"./Pianoteq 8\"" #path to PT
parameter = " --set-param Condition="+ number_in_string #concatenate the random number
command = path_to_pt + parameter
print(command)
os.system(command)
Of course you can remove the "print" stuff.
For some reason, the same script does not work under Windows 10, this slighty modified version does work (again, I believe the culprit are the /, spaces and "" usage... in fact I first wrote it under windows and then noticed it did not work under Linux, so this is the original version):
import subprocess
import randomrandon_number = random.uniform(0, 10) #generate a random number between 0 and 10
print(randon_number)
rounded_number = round(randon_number,2) #round the number to 2 decimals (idk if necessary)
print(rounded_number)
number_in_string = str(rounded_number) #convert from float to string
print(number_in_string)
path_to_pt ="C:\\Program Files\\Modartt\\Pianoteq 8/Pianoteq 8.exe --set-param Condition=" #path to PT
command = path_to_pt + number_in_string #concatenate the random number
print(command)
subprocess.run(command)
I hope it helps,
