Hey Gang,

Here's my external for communication with my new iPod touch using mrmr. The mrmr website is down right now, but you can get it from the app store.

USAGE: Place mrmr.pd in your path. Invoke the external in your patch. OSC messages are filtered and messages are sent dynamically. You only need to create [receive]s to get at the messages. To get widget IDs, check the errors while you hit buttons, sliders, etc. Have fun.

Send/Receive naming:

buttons: btn-$1
sliders: sldr-$1
tactiles: tacx-$1, tcy-$1.
accelerometer data: acclx-$1, accly-$1, acclz-$1.

Stand by for an external for OSCemote.

Nestor, great patch, got up and running in no time. Even got it to talk with Ableton Live relatively easily.

One thing, I couldn't get it to read any accelerometer data. Any Suggestions?

Thanks again this is going to really expand my live performances.

Edit:: found the accelerometer examples in mrmr...how do I build one of those widgets in the interface builder?

I don't think I had accelerometer in that one. I'll post the new one....

Ahh, check out the doc page: http://poly.share.dj/projects/#mrmr.

Click on Mrmr interface protocol. There's an explanation of how the interface(just a textfile, really) works. I usually start with the interface builder and then hack it in a text editor.

Thanks for all the help, I think I understand it.

But now I am really frustrated, I was working on this last night and today all sorts of bad things are happening. [dumpOSC] Won't create.

I can't get any data from mrmr anymore.

Also, is there a way to set up a computer to ipod network without a wireless network present(i.e. use my computer as the host and connect my ipod to it?)

Help please!!!

Probably a problem with the port number, happens a lot for some reason. Try changing the port number or making sure that no other client (including Pd) is using it.

Hmmm... as far as the first goes, firewalls need to be opened on the OSC port, both on your router(port forwarding) and your OS. The latter will provide a solution to that as well. Yes, you can 'talk' directly to your 'puter. If you have the right wireless chipset(I know broadcom works, and airport extreme), you can simply set up an ad-hoc network. On a mac it is very simple, I have no experience on PCs. Linux is pretty easy too, but depends on your chipset and drivers (as with anything linux). Another alternative is using a wired/wireless router such as a WRT54g to bridge the iPod to the computer. I've done this on machines that do not have wireless and It works fine as long as you forward your ports correctly.

hello there, im new to this osc scene... im trying to use mrmr with ableton live, using pure data, i can send signals to pure data, that are displayed in the patch, but i cant send anything to ableton live, i´ve tryed almost every possible setups. Is there a way i can assign midi notes to pure data to send to ableton?

Thanks in advanced, im a total noob with pd...

There is quite a simple way to do it.

If you want to send buttons to ableton live as midi notes this is what I do:

[receive btn-0]
l
[bang]
l \
l \
[1( [127( Note number /// velocity
l l
[noteout 10] I like to define channle number in the argument of this object

Sliders can be used to send control data fairly easily as well:

[receive hsldr-24]
l
[*127] This is if you have the 'use float values' active
l
[ctlout 68] controller number

If you are on mac using the IAC driver is easy just set it as the output of Pd and activate it in Live. if you are on windows or Linux, someone else will need to assist you. Hope this helped, if you need any more help just holler.

p.s. this is based on the performance default that comes with mrmr

Could someone make this alot simpler to understand.

I am a complete newb to PD and OSC but has an interest to make it work for Resolume.

COuld someone make a completed patch.

I know I need to learn it, but please make it simple like PD OSC patching for Dummies.

Thanks for your understanding
