Just in case someone else was wondering about this
I was messing with a 16 pad TouchOSC interface I made and converted it to a .pd patch with the little touchosc2pd.jar program. It converts OSC messages to MIDI CCs just fine and sends them out through MdiYoke. The problem with that is I want NOTES not CCs.
Doing *127 then ctlout 1 2 just isn't useful for drumpads or keyboards. It's only good for sliders and simple buttons.
SO. I eventually found that to convert OSC PUSH messages that send out 0 and 1 you can use the SELECT command.
When the select object gets a 0 it sends a MIDI note at velocity ZERO which is interpreted as a Note Off and when the select object gets a ONE it sends then same note but at a velocity greater than zero (usually something high like 120 or 127).
So... Does anyone know of an even simpler way of doing this?
