[CM] "notes from metalevel" (Cap. 12) - Mixing objects - ERROR

[padovani]

So, now I'm trying to evaluate the Mixing objects code:

(define (strums key1 key2 rate dur amp)
 (let ((step (if (< key2 key1) -1 1))
       (diff (abs (- key1 key2))))
   (loop repeat (+ diff 1)
         for key from key1 by step
         for beg from 0 by rate
         collect (new midi :time beg
                      :duration dur
                      :amplitude amp
                      :keynum key))))

but, in SBCL, the "-1" in the second line gives an error in SBCL:

;;;; (pwd)  ...

; in: LAMBDA NIL
