so i'm working on visuals for a prog-rock band gig at a party, fooling around with controlling multiple projections using midi over wifi. this shit it's the shit. i haven't had so much fun on the computer since... since evar! here's some test running on 4 iMacs... it's rather simple, the Processing app just listens to note-ons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2oq62Z1Jy0 ya, if anyone wants to try some colab stuff over the internet, drop a line... |

I was merely stating my approval of this wonderful application of technology, my good sir |

the music is cool in that video |

You need four imacs to run a rudimentary screensaver, GREAT! |

Processing is neat. I see things like that when I press on my eyelids. I should get midi put in so I can control it with knobs. |

You say its over wi-fi but the video description says ethernet, which is it? Also, exactly what parameters are being controlled by MIDI, Is it video clips triggered by MIDI or are the images themselves created on the fly? Also, what have you programmed all this with? Also, wouldn't it be more economical to connect multiple displays to one Mac/MIDI controller rather than multiple whole Macs to one controller? Thanks. |

what's with those other monitors in the background to good to participate? |

Steinvordhosbn, i agree it's merely screensavers as for now. It was a test for the tech, it works, and i'm working on more elaborate stuff. Indeksical, it's all wifi, but doesn't matter really cause the macs don't care if there are cables or not, it would also work with ethernet... the apps you see in the video are really simple, when a note-on arrives there are some value changes in the app and that's it, but it's all realtime, written in Processing. And i'm doing this because it's modular, you're not limited with how many macs you connect... you got the graphics card of each comp dedicated to one screen, and there could be dozens of them. next vid will have more screens running and be more complex. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udwTFvPj6S8 so here's some cellular chaotic sequencer... running locally on one machine. but still fun! |

dunno what its going on there but i love it, it reminds me leaf cutter's forester in the circling interface grande :) |
||||||||

|

thanks, just had a look at leafcutter's site... that guy is like aeons ahead of me. the program above is less complicated than it looks like... there are these 30 particles, which are basically Pong balls with the addition of slowing down and speeding up "at will" + fancier optics, when they crash into each other they'll emit a note-on with values depending on their speed. |

nice, does it load the samples into itself or you can work with a host other than ableton in the background? is this going freeware? |
||||||||
|

|
|
oh right, forget about the samples, speaks the thread title |

have it: http://drop.io/collide# consider it pre-alpha though. it sends note-ons but no note-offs. :\ go to your audio/midi setup, double click IAC driver, create a port (if you haven't already one going). then you need to install this: http://www.humatic.de/htools/mmj.htm and probably it's good to have the latest Java bundle installed. then launch the app. you should see incoming midi at your IAC port, channel 5 in sync with the explosions in the app. if you click into the running app, some cells will get a boost so you can trigger some faster phrases... tonality-wise, the thing plays a wholetone scale starting at C0, which you have to modify in your daw if ya want something else... in case you don't get any midi data, it might be that the program uses the wrong midi port... it chooses the second in a list of available midi output ports.... so you can maybe fix that by creating another IAC port, or deleting some other virtual ports... blabla just try it :] |

Beautiful. Ever do chip & tune? |

thanks. tried some bass robot with chips... but it was out of tune: http://vimeo.com/4768353 do you? i'd like to some time. |

Aye, a bit, just on milkytracker. Does the job. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
so here's a bit more... the collide app looks different, and sends its things to two machines, one runs ableton, the other runs bounce, which is kind of a physical arpeggiator. enjoy |
