@heyok I have a similar question: for pd .46-7 on a raspberry pi, do you know how to open the OSS-MIDI, or MIDI settings window?

I'm having a similar issue that I've been dealing with in this thread:
http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/9952/initialize-midi-settings/4

the "; pd midi-properties" message opens up the ALSA-MIDI or ALSA MIDI settings window, I'm trying to open the OSS-MIDI or MIDI Settings window.

I tried "; pd midi-settings" message.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

thank you.

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.

hey buscon,

here's a copy of a mail i sent a friend, and the corresponding patches.
you can see these patches being used here:

(original mail)
ok here's a simplified version of the patch i use. i've just modified the "mud" patch and haven't checked it all, so there are bugs and errors everywhere, but i guess you're just interested in the abs which receive and dispatch the data from kinect.

so the kinect is received by osceleton and what i get in pd is osc messages. basically it's x, y, and z coordinates for each point of the body. so you'll be interested in the patches "kinector" and "shooter".

KINECTOR:

• it translates the osc into data that the granular sampler "mud" can understand (0 to 1 linear).
• move the horizontal sliders to chose a user and a joint.
• toggle from "value" to "CC". in X Y and Z type a sending chanel number. in the granular patch, toggle from value to CC, so you can affect a receiving chanel number for each automatisable parameter.
• hit the "learn" buton and then cover with your body the area you wish to use. this sets minimums and maximum for each axis. if you want to calibrate the whole body at ounce first select "all_joints". hit the "learn" buton again to end calibration. body motion is now active.
• the toggle on the top right activates remote sound control for the "learn" function, for if you work alone. enable it, use the vertical slider to choose the gate for incoming volume. stand at your starting point, and clap or scream. calibrate, and clap again.
• if you toggle from "abs" to "rltv", instead of calibrating the movement of each joint in absolute space it will consider their relative distance to the torso joint. the advantage of this is one movement will have the same effect wherever you are positioned in the space.
• you save, open, and load presets as textfiles on your drive. you can save presets for the whole patch on the top right of the master patch.

SHOOTER:

• basically the same as kinector, but used for one-shots instead of continuous changes.
• chose a user, a joint, an axis, and a direction
• type a chanel cumber where it says CC
• in "time", type a time in miliseconds. everytime a joint passes a chosen point in space in a chosen direction, it will output a line from 0 to 1 in the chosen time.
• calibrate in the same way. you can use "all_joints" too bu there's a huge error somewhere so if you do first toggle to "value".
• same as kinector for the rest.

ok here you go. i don't know how much you know pd, so that's why i explained as much as i could. these patches are absolutely not clean, they're my first ideas since i got the kinect, and i'm working on more to have one tight patch in the end (including speed detection, movement prevision to compensate latency, etc ... ).
ok hope this helps.

if you have trouble using the "mud" patch let me know. if you are going to use the patch, please let me know and make sure you mention it's mine.
cheers

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

Hi, my patch v2MSy (video to midi synth) is downloadable from <http://adrjork.altervista.org/puredatatutorials.html>. I hope you like it. Basically it's smilar to MetaSynth but my patch works with video or webcam in real time, and not with image. The patch transforms the central Y axis of the video into 128 MIDI signals (from bottom to top) at 25fps (metro at 40ms). The result is a detailed "notation" of the video's central axis where the white pixels represent velocity=127 and black pixels represent velocity=0 (very similar to carillons' mechanism where video stays for the cylinder!)
The patch contains also two indipendent subpatches: an interface for BCF2000 and a "poor" interface for keyboard&mouse.
You need a receiving software to "play" or "write" MIDI noteouts (like a sequencer).
To connect the patch to the receiving-software I use a virtual MIDI cable. I think you can use MidiYoke in Windows, or ALSA in Linux, or IAC driver in Mac. But if you want also feedback for your motorized BCF2000 you should set PD's MIDI settings with "multiple devices"...that doesn't work! Because it seems that only the 1st output device works... So I do in this way:
IAC driver (I use Mac) + MIDI Patchbay
and I set:
-BCF2000 as PD MIDI input
-IAC driver as PD MIDI output
-IAC driver as Patchbay input
-BCF2000 as Patchbay output
In this way, Logic receives MIDI signals from v2MSy, and my Behringer has feedback!
Please, test the patch in Windows or Linux and write if ALSA and MidiYoke do the work and give feedback. Thanks.
But remember that...it's only an "alpha" patch, and it needs powerful hardware.

Greetings! I have some weird MIDI issues I was wondering if anyone here have any idea about what migth be the cause of, and perhaps could offer some pointers towards a potential cure to!

I am working on a project that involves the need to get midi messages from arduino to my sound card. This project involves doing stuff in water, so we have allready gotten a wireless MIDI transmitter that works perfrectly. The trouble, however, seem to be in Pure Data for all I can understand. I am using an arduino decimilla, with a regular flex sensor as control. And the problem is:

When PD receives MIDI data from the arduino , it all seems good in the beginning, the response is quick, and all is well. However, after running only a short time, not more than a few minutes max, the MIDI messages seem to get delayed, so when i move the flex sensor, it takes a while before the changes registeres in PD. What is even weirder is that in addition to this, there seem to be like a double flow of delayed messages, where at first the "original" message comes along, and then short after, a duplicate message comes along too. So when say I bend my flex sensor, at first, the midi goes from 127 to 60, and then after a short while, jumps back to 127 and ramps back to 60 again. Sometimes they even seem to compete and garble eachother at the same time, with values jumping all over the place. I find the irregularity of the whole troublesome affair really frustrating. I am still a noob with arduinou so even though I do not believe the problem lies in the arduino, I cannot be sure. The reason I believe it is in PD is beacause all i have to do is shut down PD and start it up again, and it works nice.. a few minutes. And needless to say, in a live setting, you don't want to go up and restart PD all the time, especially since I will be submerged in a pool during the performance.. (have allways used Pduino before the few times I've used it with PD, but that is not an option this time)

I am working in Windows XP with a Edirol UA-25 sound card btw.

The arduino code i'm using to produce MIDI was borrowed from this program;

http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1165833586/0#2

Anyone had similar problems with MIDI in PD? I know the warning says "MIDI is dangerous in PD" but... I have used CC messages before with no problem at all. This is so weird...

Any clever suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

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.
