# ###################################
# We add plugin parameters and documentation here.
# The documentation will be printed either calling printUsage() or
# executing "python mma.py -I pluginname".
# I suggest to see the output for this plugin to understand how code
# of this section will be formatted when printed.
# Minimum MMA required version.
pu.setMinMMAVersion(15, 12)
# A short plugin description.
pu.setDescription("Sets a strum pattern for Plectrum tracks.")
# A short author line.
pu.setAuthor("Written by Ignazio Di Napoli <neclepsio@gmail.com>.")
# Since this is a track plugin, we set the track types for which it can
# be used. You can specify more than one. To allow for all track types,
# call setTrackType with no arguments.
# For non-tracks plugin, don't call setTrackType at all.
# Whether the plugin is track or non-track is decided by the entry point,
# but help will use this information.
pu.setTrackType("Plectrum")
# We add the arguments for the command, each with name, default value and a
# small description. A default value of None requires specifying the argument.
pu.addArgument("Pattern", None, "see after")
pu.addArgument("Strum", "5", "strum value to use in sequence (see Plectrum docs)")
pu.addArgument("Volume", "80", "volume for strums, can be specified for each string (see Plectrum docs)")
pu.addArgument("VolumeMuted", "60", "volume for mute, can be specified for each string (see Plectrum docs)")
pu.addArgument("VolumeEmph", "100", "volume for emphatized strums, can be specified for each string (see Plectrum docs)")
pu.addArgument("VolumePick", "90", "volume for single string pick")
# We add a small doc. %NAME% is replaced by plugin name.
pu.setPluginDoc("""
The pattern is specified as a string of dot-separed values, that are equally spaced into the bar.
Values can be:
d downward strum
u upward strum
de downward strum with emphasis
ue upward strum with emphasis
dm downward strum with muted strings
um upward strum with muted strings
x chunk
- do nothing (used to skip to next time division)
If only one-character codes are used, you can avoid dots.
You can specify more bars separed by semicolons (;).
Examples:
Plectrum %NAME% dudududu
Plectrum %NAME% dm.um.dm.um.dm.um.dm.um
Plectrum %NAME% dudududu;12345654
Plectrum %NAME% dudududu, Strum=10
Plectrum %NAME% dudududu, 5, 70, 60, 90, 80
Plectrum %NAME% dudududu, 7, VolumeEmph=90
Each time it's used, %NAME% creates a clone track of the provided one using the voice MutedGuitar for chucks and muted strums.
Its name is the name of the main track with an appended "-Muted", if you need to change it you must do so every time after using %NAME%.
This plugin has been written by Ignazio Di Napoli <neclepsio@gmail.com>.
