Hello, I am in need of some help in this matter if anyone could oblige...

I have OSC data of X and Y axis (numbers from 0 - 500) coming out of my webcam via Processing and into Pd. I have some midi notes set out at the bottom which i want to be triggered from the OSC data at specific points.
I tried using moses to play a note - ie if number is less than 60 then play C or such and such - but the data is so fast that the note does not sound properly.

Also I tried using moses to say if number = 60 then play C - but again the data was too fast.

Is there any way I can slow it down or use some other function - I tried the 'sel' object but I it did not work for me and I'm not sure I understood its function properly. Perhaps a spigot but then I don't think that worked either.

I have included my patch to clarify things. I am sorry if this message is confusing in its wording, ive been working on this all day and evening and my brains are scrambled....

many thanks if you can help

[< 438]

[sel 1]

will bang when it only when it is below 438. However, I have a feeling you only want it to happen when it crosses that threshold, in which case this would be better:

[< 438]

[change]

[sel 1]

If you want it to fall within a range, then [moses] works well:

[moses 5]

| [moses 10]

[0( [1( [0(

excellent thanks! yeah, I got it in the end. Change object was what I was looking for! For this project I'm going to be using a webcam looking at some fish which will control the pitch and velocity of a note on the x and y axis.
Thanks again for the reply!

lol great idea!
add some watery sounds like plibbs and blobbs and drops

I just have to post that this has just enabled a really exciting part of a project i am working on!! thanks again Maelstrom!
