hy there,

im a totally noob, so forgive my stupidness ,-))

i control lives (video cut /vj software) with osc from pd. i found a patch on which i'm working on...

i can use a midi-slider to change to the next videos in live. it sends data from 0-127. the data is autoscaled from 0-40 to change between 40 videos.

now i need to change the vids by 2 midi-buttons, one for next and one for previous.
its on the upper left corner.

the midi-device is a korg nanokontrol, i can program the buttons to switch or to toggle (stay on during pressing or switch on off....

can someone help? i'll post the patch, i'll prepared the next/prev-ctlin, but how to connect it now?? i'll need something like x=x+1, right??

thanks a lot

[select] works freat, thx ,-)

after searching the net i found different patches i'mixed together...

i have 9 vradio-bars which will switch effects. this can be controlled by tapping the tempo or using midi-faders. the tapped tempo produces a random value from 0-8 to select effect 0-8.

now i want this value randomized again to switch between the vradio-effect-slot 1-9 (random+1).

how can i use the random value to switch between vradio/effect slots??

thanx

i know the patch is chaotic, at this moment its just for me... ,-))

thanx a lot, i'll try ,-))

thanks for the fast reply

psypreacher

thanx a lot, there are 2 soc-commands in lives which do the same: /clip/foreground/previous and /clips/forground/next. so in this case i can use a button for next/prev.

but thanks very much, as newbie i need so much information as possible ,-)
bye

ps: is there a pd-ojects which triggers a osc-command lets say every second or every 30 seconds?? so if there is no manual input from me there is there periodicly change of the effects?? or even better, how can i realize beat-recognition of a jack-input and turn on and off effects???

thanks in advance
me again ,-)

pps: is there a way to use on button for two functions? i want to use button (value 0) to play forward (/video/play/forwards) and then the same button (value 127) for playing reverse (/vidoe/play/baackwards)??
