Hi,

i patched a simple drum machine or something like that for the Launchpad.

You can use 4 sounds with 16 steps. How to set all up is written in the pure data file.

The patch is configured to use the first 4 sounds of the impulse instrument of ableton live.

You can still use the other modes of the Launchpad like session mode or mixer mode.

Link to patch and a small clip:

hi,

i use puredata and IAC drivers to communicate to ableton live 8.

most of the time it works, but sometimes it seems that live is unable to get the right midi channel. i can see that live recieves midi data, but it can not react to them.

i know this seems to be more a live problem then a puredata one, but maybe someone had the same issue and knows how to handle it.

thanx,
slx

hi,

i do have 2 devices setup under "midi settings".
As input device 1 i have the device A, no device as input device 2.
As output device 1 i have the device B, as output device 2 i have the device A.

i red in this forum that device 1 sends on the channels 0-16 and device 2 sends on the channels 17-32.

when i first tried it worked pefectly. after a restart it was totally different. like device 1 and 2 sended on the channels 17-32 (of course then it makes no sense to specify the midi channel 2 on the "noteout" object).

i found out that a different order in input devices and output devices gives different midi channel depandancies.

it feels a little bit random. Is there a way to make sure or to specify which device uses which midi channel?

thanx,
slx

hello

what i mean with "antialiased GEM output" is, how can i render objects like a sphere, a circle or text in a smoother way.

thanks for your help

hello,

how can i check in "pix_video" for the brightest pixel.

would like to explore brightness tracking in pd/gem. with processing.org i had very good results.

is it also possible with pd/gem?

thanks for your reply,

If you like watch a clip on youtube which explains everything from setup to how to use the schlaeger 16/32:

I found a bug in the 16/32 and the 8/64. I put them on the same links (see 2nd post). Please download the patch again!

two more variants of the schlaeger pattern machine:

both use notes / slots from the drum rack

8 sounds with 64 steps

and
16 sounds with 32 steps

hi maelstorm,

first of all i am really happy that you replied to this post. i got many useful hints and aha's from reading your posts.

also the use of the flag "-mididevout" which i used (found here the info in this post http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-3187-more-midi-output-device-options-needed).

since i set the flag, the devices are always listed and the settings do not get lost.
so device A is always input device 1 and output device 2, and device B always output device 1.
anyway, maybe i do not fully understand the use of the flag, the channel the devices are sending seems to be not always the same.
