Can't get arraytostring() to work as advertised...

[TheBayer]

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? the output seems to only be the first element of the array and not a concatenation of all the elements. I'm sure it's something stupidly simple, but I just am not seeing the problem.

Thanks,

MIDI2Str(val):

decl num_strs = { '-2', '-1', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8' };
decl key_strs = { 'C', 'C#', 'D', 'D#', 'E', 'F', 'F#', 'G', 'G#', 'A', 'A#', 'B' };

decl rval = { key_strs[val%12], num_strs[floor(val/12)] };
arraytostring( rval );

return rval;

arraytostr only works with hexadecimal values like 0x30
ask for ascii code in google and you will find how to convert them.

and there is this alternative:

Hi

thought I'd answered this previously, . . .

arraytostring converts decimal as well hexidecimal, not sure about octal . . .

But you don't need to do that because they are already strings.
Also in your script the arraytostring(rval) seems to do nothing - you may need to re-assign ie rval =arraytostring(rval)
But then you would need to build your arrays as ascii numbers for arraytostring to work . .

Using your function as is or with that line commented out should work in a Monitor
But it does seem to truncate using set attribute ?? not sure what is going on there

Hope that helps

Working function:

MIDI2Str(val):

Code: Select all

decl key_strs1 = { 0x43, 0x43, 0x44, 0x44, 0x45, 0x46, 0x46, 0x47, 0x47, 0x41, 0x41, 0x42 };
decl key_strs2 = { 0x20, 0x23, 0x20, 0x23, 0x20, 0x20, 0x23, 0x20, 0x23, 0x20, 0x23, 0x20 };
decl num_strs1 = { 0x2d, 0x2d, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20 };
decl num_strs2 = { 0x32, 0x31, 0x30, 0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38 };

decl rval_hex = { key_strs1[floor(val%12)], key_strs2[floor(val%12)], num_strs1[floor(val/12)], num_strs2[floor(val/12)] };
return arraytostring( rval_hex );
