ForumsSoftware ← Aalto 1.3 - OSC?

Can we unfortunate bastards that cannot afford a soundplane, somehow leech on the new OSC features with lemur, touchOSC, konkreet Performer etc?

Thanks.

It should be possible but some code might have to be written to extend those apps. Or a new app written. I don't really have time to do it myself but I would love to see someone take this project on.

Edit: nevermind, just visited hardware forum, should contain relevant info.

Any pointers to how one would start. OSC address reference? Only if you have something laying about.

Cheers - oh and many thanks for the update btw

I have to say, it's not trivial to do, because the t3d format not really a typical OSC device format---it's designed to send touch data as fast as possible and recover gracefully from dropouts. Basically descended from TUIO2 if that's any help.

But yeah, I made the format open so people can play Aalto using other controllers one of these days, and when I get time I'll contribute to that work.

So does Aalto take OSC messages (0. - 1.) and convert them to MIDI (0-127) on its own? Because I send OSC messages with my iPad and receive them in Max/MSP via the udpreceive, and I can map it to Aalto just fine. I did notice some "zipper" noise on the filter cutoff when I controlled it at fast rates.

Not yet, although I might add OSC parameter automation to the next minor update.

What the t3d stuff is, is a way to get the high speed, high res touch data from Soundplane to Aalto. So if you wanted to, you could program some other 3d touch controller to send out notes to Aalto using this method.

T3d is designed to pass high res multitouch data, so it's easier to work with than MIDI for Soundplane-like situations where each note is articulated individually.

Just a few more questions :)

Is the Aalto different when it kicks into t3d mode ( mapping x,y,z from gui etc. )
Can i send along any DeviceId.
The Lemur tries to update around 60Hz, is this to slow.

Maybe its a waste of time without proper expressive instrument, but i am just a bit curious.

It's late where I'm at, but I wanted to show you what I'm doing real quick Randy. I made a really short (and bad) screen cast showing me use iOS Lemur with my iPhone controlling Aalto's Gate Decay with the UDPreceive object in Max. Is this true OSC or a conversion to MIDI?

There's no audio because I was too lazy to create a record buffer and sync it with the video. Sorry for the quality.

Yes, it displays a notice that you are in t3d mode, and sends out x, y, data etc.

No, I would love to see this work with a Lemur--I'm too slammed to do anything about it now (and don't have an iPad) but will happily support this work with answers etc.

Max sends parameter changes to the plugin through the AU / VST interface, so there's no MIDI involved.
