@lovelovevideo Hello again.......... if your computer can talk to to the midi device then Pd will work fine. So the real question is "what usb midi devices will work with your computer".
The most future proof for you will be a usb soundcard with midi connectors, or just a usb midi card...... because then any and all midi devices will talk to it through standard 5-pin din connectors. But if a midi device will talk to your computer then it will talk to Pd.

That was a bit long winded... the question is...... "does my computer have the drivers available........ that work!........... for the device?....."

I don't use midi much nowadays as for control I use the "new midi" called osc. Pd works well with osc and you could try it if you have a tablet. I use this app http://hexler.net/software/touchosc which apart from being very reasonably priced and being available for ios and android (sounds like an advert!) will let you draw toggles buttons sliders and XY pads and more on your tablet.
Musicians still use midi for the notes (better timing) but are increasingly using osc for control....
It is far easier to understand than midi.

Thank you for the answer! I 've been looking for so long for a way to use the qwerty keyboard as a midi instrument and controller without having to focus on the program windows and only glovepie could do that but it's dead now.
Auto Hot Key should be able to swallow input but I haven't tried the midi side yet.

For people curious about this, here's what I found until now that can be useful:

http://www.bome.com/products/mousekeyboard is very nice with keyboard, mouse and joystick midi control. You can also trigger chords. But the window needs to be on top to receive the keys..

http://freepiano.tiwb.com/en/ Open source and allows to self record midi. Still needs window focus.

http://www.nosuch.com/keykit/ is quite fun for the geeks. Maybe a bit similar to puredata. Needs window focus.

http://midi-control-center.software.informer.com/ Very old but a lot of midi messages and notes customization with joystick, keyboard and mouse. Need window focus.

http://www.vanilin.org/v7/7.html How frustrating! This one finally is able to swallow keys even when not in focus and you can customize the keys a bit but no midi control and no use of special keys.

http://www.2shared.com/photo/mA24_LPF/820_am_July_26th_13_window_con.html

I conceptualized this the other day. The main reason I wanted to make this is because I'm a little tired of complicated ableton live. I wanted to just be able to right click parameters and tell them to follow midi tracks.

The big feature in this abstract is a "Midi CC Module Window" That contains an unlimited (or potentially very large)number of Midi CC Envelope Modules. In each Midi CC Envelope Module are Midi CC Envelope Clips. These clips hold a waveform that is plotted on a tempo divided graph. The waveform is played in a loop and synced to the tempo according to how long the loop is. Only one clip can be playing per module. If a parameter is right clicked, you can choose "Follow Midi CC Envelope Module 1" and the parameter will then be following the envelope that is looping in "Midi CC Envelope Module 1".

Midi note clips function in the same way. Every instrument will be able to select one Midi Notes Module. If you right clicked "Instrument Module 2" in the "Instrument Module Window" and selected "Midi input from Midi Notes Module 1", then the notes coming out of "Midi Notes Module 1" would be playing through the single virtual instrument you placed in "Instrument Module 2".

If you want the sound to come out of your speakers, then navigate to the "Bus" window. Select "Instrument Module 2" with a drop-down check off menu by right-clicking "Inputs". While still in the "Bus" window look at the "Output" window and check the box that says "Audio Output". Now the sound is coming through your speakers. Check off more Instrument Modules or Audio Track Modules to get more sound coming through the same bus.

Turn the "Aux" on to put all audio through effects.

Work in "Bounce" by selecting inputs like "Input Module 3" by right clicking and checking off Input Modules. Then press record and stop. Copy and paste your clip to an Audio Track Module, the "Sampler" or a Side Chain Audio Track Module.

Work in "Master Bounce" to produce audio clips by recording whatever is coming through the system for everyone to hear.

Chop and screw your audio in the sampler with highlight and right click processing effects. Glue your sample together and put it in an Audio Track Module or a Side Chain Audio Track Module.

Use the "Threshold Setter" to perform long linear modulation. Right click any parameter and select "Adjust to Threshold". The parameter will then adjust its minimum and maximum values over the length of time described in the "Threshold Setter".

The "Execution Engine" is used to make sure all changes happen in sync with the music.

IE>If you selected a subdivision of 2, and a length of 2, then it would take four quarter beats(starting from the next quarter beat) for the change to take place. So if you're somewhere in the a (1e+a) then you will have to wait for 2, 3, 4, 5, to pass and your change would happen on 6.

IE>If you selected a subdivision of 1 and a length of 3, you would have to wait 12 beats starting on the next quater beat.

IE>If you selected a subdivision of 8 and a length of 3, you would have to wait one and a half quarter beats starting on the next 8th note.

I don't have a clear enough picture of how your setup is configured to determine where the problem might be, so I will ask a bunch of questions...

1) Midi mapping problem
Touch OSC on the iPad is configured and communicating with PD on windows, yes?
Are you using mrpeach OSC objects in PD?
Did you also install Midi Yoke as well as Midi OX?
Is there another midi controller that could be overriding the midi sent from PD to Tracktor?
Are you using Midi OX to watch the midi traffic to Tracktor in realtime?

I don't use Touch OSC (using MRMR) but you mentioned that the PD patch is being generated? Can you post the patch that it's generating?

2) Midi Feedback
It sounds like you want the communication to be bidirectional, this is not as simple as midi feedback. Remember Touch OSC communicates using OSC and Tracktor accepts and sends Midi. So what you have to do is have Tracktor output the midi back to PD and have PD send the OSC to Touch OSC to update the sliders.

I would seriously consider building your PD patch by hand and not using the generator. You'll learn more that way and will be able to customize it better to your needs.

Xth Sense – biophysical generation and control of music

@NK
Elsenstr. 52/
2.Hinterhaus Etage 2
12059 Berlin Neukölln

FULL PROGRAM: http://www.nkprojekt.de/xth-sense-%E2%80%93-biophysical-generation-and-control-of-music/

~ What

The workshop offers an hands-on experience and both theoretical and practical training in gestural control of music and bodily musical performance, deploying the brand-new biosensing technology Xth Sense.

Developed by the workshop teacher Marco Donnarumma within a research project at The University of Edinburgh, Xth Sense is a framework for the application of muscle sounds to the biophysical generation and control of music. It consists of a low cost, DIY biosensing wearable device and an Open Source based software for capture, analysis and audio processing of biological sounds of the body (Pure Data-based).
Muscle sounds are captured in real time and used both as sonic source material and control values for sound effects, enabling the performer to control music simply with his body and kinetic energy. Forget your mice, MIDI controllers, you will not even need to look at your laptop anymore.

The Xth Sense biosensor was designed to be easily implemented by anyone, no previous experience in
electronics is required.

The applications of the Xth Sense technology are manifold: from complex gestural control of samples and audio synthesis, through biophysical generation of music and sounds, to kinetic control of real time digital processing of traditional musical instruments, and more.

~ How

Firstly, participants will be introduced to the Xth Sense Technology by its author and led through the assembling of their own biosensing wearable hardware using the materials provided.
Next, they will become proficient with the Xth Sense software framework: all the features of the framework will be unleashed through practical exercises.

Theoretical background on the state of art of gestural control of music and new musical instruments will be developed by means of an audiovisual review and participatory critical analysis of relevant projects selected by the instructor.

Eventually, participants will combine hardware and software to implement a solo or group performance to be presented during the closing event. At the end of the workshop, participants will be free to keep the Xth Sense biosensors they built and the related software for their own use.

~ Perspective participants

The workshop is open to anyone passionate about sound and music. Musical background and education does not matter as long as you are ready to challenge your usual perspective on musical performance. Composers, producers, sound designers, musicians, field recordists are all welcome to join our team for an innovative and highly creative experience. No previous experience in electronics or programming is required, however participants should be familiar with digital music creation.

Participation is limited to 10 candidates.
Preregistration is required and can be done by sending an email to info@nkprojekt.de

Requirements and further info
Participants need to provide their own headphones, soundcards and laptops with Pd-extended already installed.

Musicians interested in augmenting their favourite musical instrument by means of body gestures are encouraged to bring their instrument along. More information about the Xth Sense and a video of a live performance can be viewed on-line at

First my story: (you can skip down to END OF STORY if you want)

Ever since I saw Mike Relm go to town with a DVDJ, I've wanted a system where I could scratch and cue video. However, I haven't wanted to spend the $2500 for a DVDJ. As I was researching, I found a number of different systems. I am not a DJ by trade, so to get a system like Traktor or Serrato with their video modules plus turntables plus hardware plus a DJ mixer, soon everything gets really expensive. But in looking around, I found the Ms.Pinky system and after a little bit, I found a USB turntable on Woot for $60. So I bought it. It was marketed as a DJ turntable, but I knew that it wasn't really serious since it had a belt drive, but it came with a slip-pad and the USB connection meant that I wouldn't need a preamp. And so I spend the $100 on the Ms.Pinky vinyl plus software license (now only $80). This worked decently, but I had a lot of trouble really getting it totally on point. The relative mode worked well, but sometimes would skip if I scratched too vigorously. The absolute mode I couldn't get to work at all. After reading a little more, I came to the conclusion that my signal from vinyl to computer just wasn't strong enough, so I would need maybe a new needle or maybe a different turntable and I didn't really want to spend the money experimenting. I think that the Ms. Pinky system is probably a very good system with the right equipment, but I don't do this professionally, so I don't want to spend the loot on a system.

Earlier, before I bought Ms.Pinky (about two years ago), I had also looked around for a cheap MIDI USB DJ controller and not found one. Well, about a month ago, I saw the ION Discover DJ controller was on sale at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $50. They sold out before I could get one, but Vann's was selling it for $70, so I decided that that was good enough and bought one. I had planned to try to use it with Ms. Pinky since you can hook up MIDI controllers to it. But it turns out that you can hook up MIDI controllers to every control except the turntable, so that was a no go. If I had Max/MSP/Jitter, I could have changed that, but that's also way expensive. So, how should I scratch? My controller came with DJ'ing software and there's also some freeware, like Mixxx, but none of this has video support. So I look around and find Pure Data and GEM.

And I see lots of questions about scratching, how to do it. And there are even some tutorials and small patches out there, but as I look at them, none of them are quite what I'm looking for. The YouTube tutorial is really problematic because it's no good at all for scratching a song. It can create a scratching sound for a small sample, but it's taking the turntable's speed and using that as the position in the sample. If you did that with a longer song, it wouldn't even sound like a scratch. And then there are some which do work right, but none of them keep track of where you are in the playback. So, whenever you start scratching, you're starting from the beginning of the song or the middle.

So, I looked at all this and I said, "Hey, I can do this. I've got my spring break coming up. Looking at how easy PD looks and how much other good (if imperfect) work other people have done, I bet that I could build a good system for audio and video scratching within a week." And, I have.

END OF STORY

So that's what I'm presenting to you, my free audio and video scratching system in Pure Data (Pd-extended, really). I use the name DJ Lease Def, so it's the Lease Def DJ system. It's not quite perfect because it loads its samples into tables using soundfiler which means that it has a huge delay when you load a new file during which the whole thing goes silent. I am unhappy about this, but unsure how to fix it. Otherwise, it's pretty nifty. Anyway, rather than be one big patch, it relies on a system of patches which work with each other. Each of the different parts will come in several versions and you can choose which one you want to use and load up the different parts and they should work together correctly. Right now, for most of the parts there's only one version, but I'll be adding others later.

There's a more detailed instruction manual in the .zip file, but the summary is that you load:

the engine (only one version right now): loads the files, does the actual signal processing and playback

one control patch (three versions to choose from currently, two GUI versions and a MIDI version specific to the Ion Discover DJ): is used to do most of the controlling of the engine other than loading files such as scratching, fading, adjusting volume, etc.

zero or one cueing patch (one version, optional): manages the controls for jumping around to different points in songs

zero or one net patch (one version: video playback): does some sort of add-on. Will probably most commonly be used for video. The net patches have to run in a separate instance of Pd-extended and they listen for signals from the engine via local UDP packets. This is set-up this way because when the audio and video tried to run in the same instance, I would get periodic little pops, clicks, and other unsmoothnesses. The audio part renders 1000 times per second for maximum fidelity, but the video part only renders like 30 or 60 times per second. Pure Data is not quite smooth enough to handle this in a clever real-time multithreading manner to ensure that they both always get their time slices. But you put them in separate processes, it all works fine.

So, anyway, it's real scratching beginning exactly where you were in playing the song and when you stop scratching it picks up just where you left off, you can set and jump to cue points, and it does video which will follow right along with both the scratching and cuing. So I'm pretty proud of it. The downsides are that you have to separate the audio and video files, that the audio has to be uncompressed aiff or wav (and that loading a new file pauses everything for like 10 seconds), that for really smooth video when you're scratching or playing backwards you have to encode it with a codec with no inter-frame encoding such as MJPEG, which results in bigger video files (but the playback scratches perfectly as a result).

So anyway, check it out, let me know what you think. If you have any questions or feedback please share. If anyone wants to build control patches for other MIDI hardware, please do and share them with me. I'd be glad to include them in the download. The different patches communicate using send and receive with a standard set of symbols. I've included documentation about what the expected symbols and values are. Also, if anyone wants me to write patches for some piece of hardware that you have, if you can give me one, I'll be glad to do it.

Hello, i stumbled on Pure Data today and loved the idea of controlling Ableton via an ipod touch. So now i've been sitting here for two hours trying to get this to work.

I've downloaded Pure data and the app for the ipod. So far so good.
When i press buttons on the ipod, it recognises that in Pure Data. Going great.
Now, and i should point out i'm on a windows computer, i have to connect it to ableton. No IAC bus midi stuffs since windows don't have those, so Midi Yoke it is.

I have installed Midi Ox (couldn't find Midi Yoke so... is this the same program?)
and i think... i understand it. I set midi out on DP to midi yoke 1. Set Midi yoke 1 in to midi Yoke 1 out in Midi Ox. In ableton i then highlight everything (track, sync and remote) on both Midi yoke 1 out and in (because i dont know what to highlight so...)

now... nothing. I think the problem is that Midi Ox don't recognise the Midi out from DP but i'm not sure. I don't see any changes at all when i press the buttons on the Ipod in Midi ox.

I'm sorry for all this rambling, and i have googled as much as i can but i haven't found any solution. I did find a tutorial named how to setup as i described http://www.gadgetcracker.com/2009/06/how-to-iphone-touchosc-pure-data-ableton-live/ but link just 404

Please help me

This is a cross platform alternative for synchronizing two(or more) different computers to one Midi Clock.
Since one will have coge this will be between a Mac OSX and windows running traktor that produces midi clock.

For windows Midi Yoke (tested in XP) to wrap Midi clock to Pure Data extended (tested with v 0.41.4) from there the clock will be sent has an OSC message to one or all network computer(s). On the listening side there will be one other Pure Data patch converting a specific OSC message to Midi clock. Then coge can catch this midi clock just by clicking "Midi clk".

This is nothing special but it took me almost 3 weeks to accomplish it. Given that i knew nothing about pure data at the time, this site was very helpful. All examples were gathered from here.

Also note that this is not the best way.

There are Midi cables for this.
There are usb to midi converters, for those who don't have midi ports. Also external sound boards quite good with several inputs and outputs.
I have experienced a +/- 3 Beats float of BPM count on coge but always around the correct number, over time this seems to float less.
This still lacks testing.

Anyway.
You'll need Pure data extended on every machine.
You'll need Midi Yoke on Windows.
You can use Yac Driver on Mac OSX for midi wrap.
Don't know for linux, sorry. (read somewhere something about jack)

On pure data you'll need to define the midi device input or output which ever is the case.
On windows it's easy on any pure data windows you can set midi devices, choose midi Yoke (the channel number should be the same in the receiver input and sender output).
On OSX it's on the main window, under preferences.

If using this with quartz composer one can skip the pure data on the OSC server side (which is the one that listens). If adding more functions to this keep in mind that quartz composer does not understands 0 arguments messages. (I think this should be a bug)

You are advised to change the IP on the pure data patch to which ever is your destination. You can use 0.0.0.0 to broadcast. Don't use wireless, it's a 0 security communication protocol.

Hope to save someone's time. GL

Gem: can't load library

I can't locate files like Gem-meta.pd or Gem.pd_linux on the computer;
I keep investigating, but any hint is welcome, thanks

Yes, I already use something like midi yoke now. It is the standard osx midi routing software called IAC.

I forgot to mention in my question that I use one IAC output port to send signals from the PD patch to Ableton. In ableton I route signals from this IAC port to my MIDI outs (connected to the machines).

The other output I use to send signals to my controller, so that when I change the parameter of a knob I can send the current value of that parameter to the knob of the behringer (when I turn this knob the value doesn;t jump but starts from the value it is actually on).

This liimits my possibilities, I want to be able to filter out signals for certain machines. But now I can only use one actual midi output, The IAC bus.

The nice thing about PD;s midi controller interface is that another midi output is a different midi channel. So when I could have 4 midi output possibilities it would enable me to press a button that says to a knob: send to channel 17 (channel one of the second midi output device) instead of sending to channel 33 (channel one of the third midi output device).

I hope this is possiible. I think it actually is, because there are four midi inputs available.
