Question to play degree(get(:degr1), :C3, :minor) - SOLVED

Hey guys!,
i have another question :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

the problem is, if sometimes numbers add up, which is intended, they have a chance to fall out of the scale i want to be in, which is not intended.
Is it possible to make some if statements or something like that, so the whole thing stays tuned?

live_loop :root_note do
 #8
 set :notea, (ring 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0).tick(:asdfgw4)
 sleep 0.25 # how long each root is hold
end


live_loop :root2 do
 #7
 set :pitchi,  get(:notea) + 5
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi, get(:notea)
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi, get(:notea) +3
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi,  get(:notea)
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi, get(:notea) + 3
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi, get(:notea) + 0
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi, get(:notea)
 sleep 0.25
end


live_loop :root3 do
 #5
 set :pitchi1,  get(:pitchi) + 0
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi1, get(:pitchi) + 3
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi1, get(:pitchi)
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi1, get(:pitchi) + 3
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi1, get(:pitchi)
 sleep 0.25
 
 
 
end
#3

live_loop :root4 do
 
 set :pitchi2,  get(:pitchi1)
 sleep 0.25
 
 set :pitchi2, get(:pitchi1)
 sleep 0.25
 
 
 set :pitchi2, get(:pitchi1)  + 1
 sleep 0.25
end


live_loop :one21 do
 
 
 use_synth :chiplead
 play (ring :g3).choose, pitch: get(:pitchi2)
 sleep 0.25
end

One way to do this is to rethink your approach.
Here, you add various amounts onto a ‘root note’ to end up with other notes.
The problem then is that different scales have different notes in them - so for example adding three semitones on to a particular note might sound fine in one scale, but not in another.
How could we get around this problem?
Perhaps instead of jumping up by a certain number of semitones, (which is not guaranteed to stay in the same scale), we work with degrees. Degrees are note markers within a scale.
(The functions to look for in the Lang section of the documentation are degree and chord_degree).
