Default Overlaying guitar chord grids

This preset for the video processor overlays a guitar chord grid on the video, good for instructional guitar videos.

UPDATE: This version is outdated. (But it doesn't use unicode for the finger-spots, which might be useful to some.) See post #21 for a much better version. See post #37 for a version with a knob that sets the chord root and chord type. See also posts #33 and #35.

Code:
// overlay guitar chord grid
// July 3 2020 by TallKite Software
// to omit the chord name, set it to "", to center it, add trailing spaces
// frets can be 0 for open or x for unused. numStrings = length of #frets
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if there is no 3rd number, the fret is assumed to be 1
#chord = "Ab7  ";
#frets = "x3x2xx";              // relative to the 1st fret shown
#barre = "64";
#barre2 = "";

//@param1:xpos 'x position' 0.5 0 1 0.5 0.01
//@param2:ypos 'y position' 0.5 0 1 0.5 0.01

//@param6:startFret 'starting fret number' 1 1 21 11 1
//@param8:fontSize 'font size' 60 20 120 70 5
//@param9:border 'border' 20 5 45 30 1

Here's a microtonal version with a custom font for ^ and v. See post #22 for a better version.

Amazing, Kite. Its always impressive what people get out of the video processor. This is a very cool addition. People could even put chords and other aspects into variables to just change the chords or automate them as a parameter like their need.

Many thanks.

You're welcome! But how would you automate a text string?

Hm, you ask me questions.

I saw something like that in Amalgamas Text overlay preset. He put the text strings of listed fonts in numbered variables which belong to a parameter variable. I know, if I describe it, it sounds really stupid.

But here is the example code:
Code:
// Serif fonts
sans == 1 ? (
  font == 1 ? font="Gabriola";
  font == 2 ? font="Palatino Linotype";
  font == 3 ? font="Comic Sans MS";
  font == 4 ? font="Aquire";
  font == 5 ? font="Times";
  font == 6 ? font="Cambria";
  font == 7 ? font="Georgia";
  font == 8 ? font="Courier";
) : (
In the end you get a parameter "font", which lets you scroll thru the numbers 1-8 to change the text strings of font. If I'm not misinterpreting it, it could offer a way to load a parameter variable "Chord" with of chords ... I don't know.

Maybe this helps or its really stupid.

Greetings
Eli

can confirm that works, I'm using it in my text generators.

You can also use item name as the string. It would be pretty difficult to actually get the chord fingering automatically from the name though.

Got it. The parameter lets you choose between a number of built-in options. So the code could have a parameter "root", with 0 = C, 1 = G, 2 = D, etc. All the way up to say 8 for G#, and all the way back to say -5 for Db. Then you could have another parameter "chord type", 1 = major, 2 = minor, 3 = dom7, etc.

Interesting idea, but I'll let someone else add that feature.

That's actually in there, but commented out. So if anyone wants to use the item name, just uncomment this line:

Code:
strlen (#chord) == 0 ? input_get_name (-1, #chord);
I commented it out so that you could have unnamed chords.

Hi Kite,
would it be possible to even use a function to force the frets and barres for the chosen chord? Like if chord == "E minor" then frets == "022000" etc.?

So if I understand it right the chord variable would need two components (root and chtype) and this chord variable then could force the actual fret? Seems logical. And maybe doable for me. I will think about it.

In a simple plan:


root == 1 ? root="C";
root == 2 ? root="C#";
root == 3 ? root="D";
etc.

chtype == 1 ? chtype="major";
chtype == 2 ? chtype="minor";
chtype == 3 ? chtype="dom7";
etc.

chord == (root.chtype)
if chord == "E minor" -> frets == "022000"
etc.



Greetings

Yes, this is totally doable. Go for it!

Sometimes you want to call a chord C# and sometimes you want to call it Db, so I would set it up like this:

Code:
root == -6 ? root="Gb";
root == -5 ? root="Db";
root == -4 ? root="Ab";
root == -3 ? root="Eb";
root == -2 ? root="Bb";
root == -1 ? root="F";
root == 0 ? root="C";
root == 1 ? root="G";
root == 2 ? root="D";
root == 3 ? root="A";
root == 4 ? root="E";
root == 5 ? root="B";
root == 6 ? root="F#";
root == 7 ? root="C#";
root == 8 ? root="G#";
root == 9 ? root="D#";
This gives the user control over how the chord is named. The numbers run negative to positive to provide a good mnemonic for which note has which number. D is +2 because the key of D major has 2 sharps, Eb is -3 because that key has 3 fats, etc.

BTW I recently edited the OP to fix a bug with the starting fret number.

Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing this.

Is there a way you could add rotate so that the nut is on the left?
Just curious.
Anyway, Many thanks!

Could be done. But of course the nut-on-top format is much better for lefties. Anyway, sorry, I don't want to take that on. Perhaps someone else here could tinker with the code.

Can someone tell me how to merge two or more variables in EEL? Like in name = "John" lname = "Wick" fullname = name.lname?

In Lua its done with a dot if I remember right. But how is this done in EEL?

Got it to work. Here is kind of a prototype only with major chords:

Code:
// overlay guitar chord grid
// to omit the chord name, set it to "", to center it, add trailing spaces
// frets can be 0 for open or x for unused. numStrings = length of #frets
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if there is no 3rd number, the fret is assumed to be 1

root == 0 ? root_str="C";
root == 1 ? root_str="C#";
root == 2 ? root_str="D";
root == 3 ? root_str="D#";
root == 4 ? root_str="E";
root == 5 ? root_str="F";
root == 6 ? root_str="F#";
root == 7 ? root_str="G";
root == 8 ? root_str="G#";
root == 9 ? root_str="A";
root == 10 ? root_str="A#";
root == 11 ? root_str="B";

chtype == 1 ? chtype_str="maj";
chtype == 2 ? chtype_str="min";
chtype == 3 ? chtype_str="7";

#chord = sprintf(#, "%s %s", root_str, chtype_str);

root == 0 && chtype == 1 ? (#frets = "x32010";#barre = "")  :
root == 1 && chtype == 1 ? (#frets = "x06660"; #barre = "514")  :
root == 2 && chtype == 1 ? (#frets = "xx0232"; #barre = "")  :
root == 3 && chtype == 1 ? (#frets = "x65040"; #barre = "313")  :
root == 4 && chtype == 1 ? (#frets = "022100"; #barre = "")  :

I have no idea if this is the proper way, but it works like expected and imagined above in the thread. Many thanks to the helpers, Kite and Fabian!

I will try to increase the available chords and types soon.

Oh no, I'm modding the code to use unicode for the finger-spots, plus other improvements. But here you are already modding the code in another direction. What to do?

Related question, when I upload a new version, should I edit the OP or make a new post? I'm thinking the latter, so you don't lose what you started from.

That's no problem. Post your updates and I will adapt my additional code. Or you take my approach and use it in your newer version. The goal was to show, if its possible to make it automatable. And that's the case.

Kite, would it be possible to show the x strings also with a x above the bridge? It seems more reasonable for me, because its shown on every chord tabs out there. Maybe I could implement it, if its not to complicated.

Many thanks for the update though.

By the way, the finger tips (the fat "O"s) don't show up anymore. I will post a screen shot.



Could it be a copy paste error? That some information got lost here in the forum?

Yes. Its definitionally a copy paste error. In the code show up two weird characters. If I replace them with 0 and O it works like expected.


With O and o it looks fine to me:

Just curious.
Anyway, Many thanks!

You could add another video processor with the preset opacity, zoom, pan and rotate it -90 degree. But this also rotates the chord phrase which gets hard to read then.

I just updated the most recent version. I put an X above unused strings. But if you have a barre that uses that string, it's not really unused. So I made it so you can control whether or not there's an X. If you put a space in the #frets string, that lets you hide the X when you need to. Example:

#frets = "x3x2xx", #barre = "621" (wrong)
#frets = " 3 2 x", #barre = "621" (right)

The finger-spots do show up for me. They are a unicode character, solidSpot in the code. I did fix a bug that might solve the problem, let me know.

If you can't get the unicode to work, the solid spot can be "n" in the webdings font. The "x" can be a regular letter, or use "r" in the same font. The hollow spot can be the "m" in the wingdings font.

The problem is, different computers have different fonts installed, so you may have to install something to get webdings or unicode to work...

Cool. Many thanks, Kite. I will take a look at it and give you feedback. This plugin is such a great idea. And its kind of fun for me, to get a bit into programming again, even if its only simple stuff.

Kite, this is awesome!

Eliseat, I love the Chord Root and Chord Type knobs. Super useful. And easy enough, even for me with no coding knowledge, to figure out how to add my own suffixes.
.....but yours doesn't work for me! Nothing shows up on the video screen.

I tried naming the chord by item name, by removing that commented line. It works, but man, that'd take a long time. Is there a way for the processor to grab the name from text inside a blank item? Or does someone know a good workflow for editing Item Properties?

It doesn't work for you? How could this be? Do you mean my version doesn't work but Kites does? That seems really weird and only could be if the video processor works different on different systems. I posted my version in the JSFX section, and as far es I know Fabian was able to test it like expected.

Here is the latest version with Kites bugfixes and additions. Plus my chord parameter contribution.

Code:
// overlay chord grid
// to omit the chord name, set it to "", to center it, add trailing spaces
// numStrings = length of #frets. 0 = open, x or space = unused (space = no X shown)
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if no 3rd number, then fret = 1. if no 2nd number, then end string = start string
root == 0 ? root_str="C";
root == 1 ? root_str="C#";
root == 2 ? root_str="D";
root == 3 ? root_str="D#";
root == 4 ? root_str="E";
root == 5 ? root_str="F";
root == 6 ? root_str="F#";
root == 7 ? root_str="G";
root == 8 ? root_str="G#";
root == 9 ? root_str="A";
root == 10 ? root_str="A#";
root == 11 ? root_str="B";

chtype == 1 ? chtype_str="maj";
chtype == 2 ? chtype_str="min";

Its possible, that there are copy and paste errors relating to the symbols used as O and X. Please check it out. I plan to put more chords in there and also to optimize the coding. But I'm a noob so don't expect to much.

Default Added Minor, 7 and Maj7 Chord

Nice job !

I've added Minor, 7 chords charts and Maj7 Chords and some corrections (from my point of view)

Code:
// overlay chord grid
// to omit the chord name, set it to "", to center it, add trailing spaces
// numStrings = length of #frets. 0 = open, x or space = unused (space = no X shown)
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if no 3rd number, then fret = 1. if no 2nd number, then end string = start string

Great. That's how a nice idea gets high like a rocket!

Here the last version with Erdans filled chords but with a more efficient code thru arrays. (Thanks to Fabian.) This script works really fluidly. You can automate the parameters to follow a whole song with ease. Just amazing! I hope, Justin realizes how much potential the video section has, if he sees such great contributions. Lots of possibilities. But still some annoying hurdles.

Code:
// Guita chord overlay
// to omit the chord name, set it to "", to center it, add trailing spaces
// numStrings = length of #frets. 0 = open, x or space = unused (space = no X shown)
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if no 3rd number, then fret = 1. if no 2nd number, then end string = start string

root_array = 10000; // This sets the memory address for start
mem_set_values(root_array, "C", "C#", "D", "D#", "E", "F", "F#", "G", "G#", "A", "A#", "B");

chtype_array = 10016;
mem_set_values(chtype_array, "unused", "maj", "min", "7", "Maj7" );

root_str = root_array[root];

chtype_str = chtype_array[chtype];

#chord = sprintf(#, "%s %s ", root_str, chtype_str);

// Major

Woah this looks so good !!! I'm not a guitar player, but this looks so useful, for example if I have a guitarist come in to play some guitar chords, this is just what they'd need if they don't know the song !! Thanks for contributing !

Here is a version that should be slightly more efficient and so perhaps run smoother. I also added a switch to invert the drawing, black background and white foreground.

Code:
// Guita chord overlay - with arrays and invert switch
// to omit the chord name, set it to "", to center it, add trailing spaces
// numStrings = length of #frets. 0 = open, x or space = unused (space = no X shown)
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if no 3rd number, then fret = 1. if no 2nd number, then end string = start string

init < 1 ? // should we initialize the arrays?
(
  root_array = 10000; // Array for the rrot notes
  mem_set_values(root_array, " C", "C#", "D", "D#", "E", "F", "F#", "G", "G#", "A", "A#", "B");

  chtype_array = 10016; // Array for the chord types (0th element is not used)
  mem_set_values(chtype_array, "unused", "maj", "min", "7", "Maj7" );

I finally took the time to look at the version with root/type pasrameter. Some thoughts:

1) Someone pointed out in another thread that it's a good idea to put the date and author in the code, to keep track of versions if nothing else.

2) It looks WAY better with the unicode characters for the finger-spots. Apparently Eliseat had problems copying and pasting the unicode. So the effect didn't work for her, and the spots didn't show up. If this happens, you can fix it by entering the unicode characters directly into the editor yourself. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input, or just google "enter unicode character windows", "enter unicode character OSX", or whatever. You may need to install a font. See also the webdings workaround upthread. But if you're serious about making instructional videos, you need to get unicode characters working on your computer. It shouldn't be that hard. Here's what you want to end up with:
Code:
solidSpot = "⬤"; hollowSpot = "⭕"; ex = "✖"; // unicode 2B24, 2B55 and 2716
3) Look, everyone, if you play I - IV - V in F, you want to call the IV chord a Bb chord. Calling it an A# chord is really confusing, and just plain wrong. You might say, what's the difference, A# major and Bb major sound the same. Well, it's like writing "C mayjurr". Sure, mayjurr and major sound the same, but mayjurr is weird and jarring, and just plain wrong. And even if you don't mind A#, not everyone will agree with you. It's much better to give the user the choice of A# vs. Bb.

4) Currently, when a chord goes up above the 5th fret, it gets chopped off. For those chords, the fret numbers need to be decreased and the "starting fret" parameter needs to be set appropriately. This puts everything in a 4-fret range, so the default # of frets can be lowered from 5 to 4.

5) The chord frettings are somewhat arbitrary. Sometimes you want to play A7 as 002020 and sometimes as 002223.

I reached the character limit for posts in this forum, so the actual code will be in the next post. I fixed everything except for #5.

Changes:
Added the date & the authors to the 2nd line
Moved the param stuff to the top of the code, easier to find
Added the unicode characters back in
Got rid of the loop at the end for the 2 unused barres, more efficient
Fixed the root naming problem
Fixed the starting fret problem
Removed the knobs for numFrets and startFret, since they are no longer needed
Set the # of frets down to 4, more compact

OK, so here's the latest version:

Code:
// overlay chord grid parametric root & type
// July 8, 2020 Kite / Eliseat / Erdan / Fabian
// numStrings = length of #frets. 0 = open, x or space = unused (space = no X shown)
// barre strings have 3 numbers: start string, end string and fret
// if no 3rd number, then fret = 1. if no 2nd number, then end string = start string

//@param1:root 'Root' 0 0 11 5.5 1
//@param2:chtype 'Chord type' 1 1 4 2 1
//@param3:useFlats 'Use flats?' 1 0 1 0.5 1
//@param4:xpos 'x position' 0.5 0 1 0.5 0.01
//@param5:ypos 'y position' 0.5 0 1 0.5 0.01
//@param6:fontSize 'font size' 60 20 120 70 5
//@param7:border 'border' 20 5 45 30 1
//@param8:gap 'gap under name' 25 25 50 25 1

//@param10:colwid 'string spacing' 40 20 60 40 2
//@param11:rowht 'fret spacing' 40 20 60 40 2
//@param12:LT 'line thickness' 5 1 9 5 1
//@param13:spotSize 'finger-spot size' 0.7 0.5 1 0.75 0.02

//@param15:opacity 'opacity' 1 0 1 0.5 0.01

wow, very nice.

but maybe an option to lay it down (Zero at the left side, or right for lefthanders) would comfort the experience.

Never looked on a fretboard like this when playing. I guess my neck is way too short.

Default My contrib

My contrib to this wonderfull script :
1- add minor7 and minor7b5 shapes
2- reorder Maj7 - 7 - min7 - min7b5 as you can more visualy see only one finger is moving beetween those types.

I post as an attachement because the forum rules limit post to 10500 and I get 12249.
