You've no doubt discovered there are many opportunities for a mandolinist who is able venture out of the lower seven frets (1st Position) of the instrument. One of the benefits of our FFcP system is of course, to make fingering in the upper frets comfortably familiar. The question arises, when do I leave the lower frets, or when do I need to 'shift.'
A long string, if plucked really hard, will vibrate faster and thereby produce a higher pitch than a shorter string. Will vibrate faster and thereby produce a higher pitch than a shorter string. Which of the following excerpts suggests increasing tension in the music? Pianists and harpsichordists don't have direct contact with. Typically, good algorithms allow pitch shifting up to 5 semitones on average or stretching the length by 130%. When time stretching and pitch shifting single instrument recordings you might even be able to achieve a 200% time stretch, or a one-octave pitch shift with no audible loss in quality. Clips set to Re-Pitch change duration with project tempo changes, but also deviate upwards or downwards from their original pitch. It’s a cool effect! 6: Live’s MIDI Notes box has a Transpose control too – type note names, or a transposition value in semitones, or just click and drag up or down to re-pitch the currently selected notes.
We can look to violin pedagogy for answers to questions like this, the purposes, the various types, the actual mechanics, and the appropriateness. We want to borrow from an excellent online resource by By Dr. Rami Kanaan, in his text 'A Handbook for Teaching Shifting to the Intermediate Level Violin Student.' His thoughts (substitute 'mandolin' or 'instrument' for 'violin':
Mangal font for mac. The purposes of shifting
1) Shifting extends the overall tonal range of the violin
2) It extends the tonal ranges of each of the four strings
3) It facilitates the playing of awkward passages and eliminates string crossings
4) It opens the door to technical mastery on the violin through the knowledge of all the positions and their fingerings
5) It relieves the tension of the left hand from being constantly locked in 1st position (especially during the elementary study of the violin)
6) It enhances the musical expression and interpretation of musical passages
7) It makes the slide or portamento possible on the violin

Types of shifts
1) Same-finger shift (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, and 4-4 in an ascending and descending direction)
2) Two-finger shift, which can be subdivided into:
a) low-numbered to high-numbered finger ascending or vice versa descending (for example, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, and 3-4 in an ascending direction)
b) high-numbered to low-numbered finger ascending or vice versa descending (for example, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 3-2, 4-2, 4-3 in an ascending direction)
3) Half shift (the thumb does not move from the original position while the hand and fingers extend to another position, and then come back to the original position)
4) Retarded or delayed shift (the fingers extend or contract to the new position, and then the hand and thumb follow the fingers)
5) Shift from an open string (the hand shifts during the sound of an open string)
6) Shift between two strings (the old and new positions are on two different strings)
7) Substitution shift (shift to the same pitch with different fingers on the same string or on two different strings)
8) The portamento (the audible slide which is used for its artistic effect)

8) The portamento (the audible slide which is used for its artistic effect)
The mechanics of shifting
1) The hand and fingers must slide smoothly
2) The hand, thumb, fingers, wrist, and forearm must remain relaxed and must move together as a single unit (in shifting among the lower positions)
3) The hand shape must be maintained during the shift
4) The thumb must pass under the neck of the violin when reaching the fifth position and higher to allow the hand and fingers to maintain their shape above the fingerboard
5) The speed of the shift must be controlled
6) The pressure of the shifting finger must be minimized on the string
7) The speed and the pressure of the bow must be minimized during the shift
8) The finger must remain in contact with the string during the shift
9) The hand should shift on the beginning finger in two-finger shifts (this rule is very general and exceptions exist)
10) The left elbow must be mobile during the shift (the elbow moves to the right in ascending shifts and to the left in descending shifts)
11) Violin hold, balance, posture, and the use of proper accessories are crucial to the execution of successful shifts
12) The role of the ear is paramount in shifting (the combination of aural, tactile, and visual clues help the violinist to execute successful shifts)

When to shift
1) Minimize the sound of the slide by shifting during a rest, after an open string, after a harmonic, during the same consecutive notes, during staccato notes, and after a dotted figure
2) Employ similar fingerings for similar passages (like in sequences)
3) Shift on strong or relatively strong beats (the concept of “rhythmic fingeringsâ€)
4) Employ shifts that ensure the smallest shifting distance in order to affect a smooth and unnoticeable slide (like shifting with one finger on the half step)
5) Use contractions and extensions in shifting to accomplish smooth and secure shifts

Of course, some of this needs to be adapted for the violin. Devoid of frets, the violinist has a whole different baggage for determining finger placement and spatial reference. Most are taught to keep fingers down, if nothing else as a tactile guide to position. https://downsfil674.weebly.com/powerpoint-macbook-air-free-download.html. Holding the instrument vertical to the body rather than parallel like a mandolin requires a slightly difference way of handling the thumb, but in essence, there are far more similarities than departures.
An excellent (and free!) download is available on the www.ramikanaan.com website with some golden shifting exercises and etude to keep you busy for a while. This is well worth the time looking over!

Apple mini mouse wireless. There are currently two special-case Synths in FoxDot for playing back audio stored in a file;
play
and loop
. Here we will look at these in some depth:The play
synth
Basics
The very basics of the
play
synth has been covered briefly in the player object intro section but will revisited here. Unlike other synths in FoxDot, the first argument should be a string of character, not numbers. This allows more information to be encoded in the string. Each character refers to a set of samples such as kick drums, hi-hats, snares, and other sounds. Open source modeling software. The most basic sequence you create is a disco drum beat:You can use different types of brackets to add more information to the sequence. Putting two or more characters in round brackets will alternate which sound to play on each loop through the sequence:
Putting multiple characters in square brackets will play them successively in the space of one step:
You can also use curly braces to pick a sample at random and add some variety to your sequence:
The sample keyword
Each character relates to a folder of files arranged in alphabetical order. To select a different file, use the
sample
keyword.Like with any other keyword argument, this can be a list, or even a tuple, of values.
The sample for an individual character can be specified from within the string itself by surrounding the character with a “|” and the specific number like so:
This syntax can contain any of the brackets used before on the character and on the numbers:
Layering sequences
You can also use less than and greater than signs to layer multiple sequences simultaneously. Let’s start with two separate sequences and then put them together in a single line of code.
We can put each sequence between “<>” characters in a single sequence and have them play at the same time:
Stringed 2 8 – Shift Pitch And Manipulate Tempos Para
Each ‘layer’ relates to the index of a group such that, for a group of values given to a player object, each ‘layer’ is affected only by one of those given values. This is best demonstrated by an example:
Be careful when combining multiple layers with some functions like
offadd
as that creates new layers if they don’t exist, or affects them if they do. The following code will only affect the second layer and, so, the first layer is unaffected:The loop
synth
This is still a fairly experimental feature of FoxDot and is definitely subject to change but let’s have a look at the basics. The
loop
synth is designed to let you play longer audio files (>1 sec) and manipulate them. To get started, just supply the filename you want to play and the duration you want to play in beats:You can put files in a special folder located in
FoxDot/snd/_loop_
which can be opened by going to “Help & Settings” and then “Open Samples Folder” from the FoxDot menu. You don’t need to supply the full path (or extension) for files in this folder:Stringed 2 8 – Shift Pitch And Manipulate Tempos Differences
To see all the files in this folder use
print(Samples.loops)
.If you want to play with the play back order, you can supply a “position” argument after the file name that FoxDot will iterate through based on the duration.
If you know the bpm of the audio file and wish to play it at the current tempo, you can supply the player with a
tempo
argument. For example, my_file
could be a drum beat at 135 bpm but the current tempo is 120, I can fit the tempo of my_file
to the clock like so:Stringed 2 8 – Shift Pitch And Manipulate Tempos Em
![Tempos Tempos](https://www.musictech.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/boxpic.jpg)
You can play the entire file at the current tempo by supplying a
beat_stretch
argument with a non-zero value (such as 1 or True) and you don’t need to know the tempo beforehand.Time stretching the audio in this fashion will change the pitch, so if the audio is pitched, you may wish the time-stretch it without losing that information. This is possible using the
striate
. This cuts the file into lots of little segments and plays them back spread out over the course of the duration value – this will play the entire audio file. The larger the audio file, the larger the number you will probably want to use. Using the example above, you may want to use a striate
value of 100-200 for a smoother playback:Stringed 2 8 – Shift Pitch And Manipulate Tempos De
Please note: you may experience changes in pitch at faster tempos.
All FoxDot effects can be used with the
loop
synth, so experiment and find out what works best for your audio. Using slide
with negative values can recreate the “dj scratching” effect from old school hip-hop as it slows the playback rate to 0 then back again:The stretch
synth
This recent addition to FoxDot allows you to beat stretch an entire audio file without losing any pitch information – regardless if the tempo is faster or slower. Simply supply the filename in the same way as the
loop
synth and set the duration you wish to play the file over and away you go:
