You should probably check out the Guitar Zeros. I've never heard their music or anything, but apparently they use Guitar Hero controllers. I think they were mentioned on Make Digital Music or something...

Topic: PD the free alternative to MAX/MSP New release
Replies: 12

Using PD isn't that much different than Max. Some of the keyboard shortcuts even made creating simple objects easier. The major problem I had was MIDI and Sysex support in Windows. I couldn't figure out if it worked in PD. I was able to output and import Sysex pretty easily in Max, but was unable to...

Here's a post on the Korg forums about adjusting the sensitivity. Although I've never had a different pad trigger when I hit a pad, this is supposed to resolve it: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22019 I have a padKONTROL and I think it works great. I can get a wide range of v...

Quality-wise, I've heard it doesn't compare to the MPD24 or padKONTROL. I have a padKONTROL and think it was well worth the price I paid.

Now if you are just looking for 16 trigger buttons it might be worth the cheaper price.

I tried using PD and it seemed okay. For some reason though MIDI Out and Sysex didn't seem to be working properly in Windows. It also seemed like there was a lot of "this is about to be implemented," but the last post date was in 2004. :? I really would like to create an open source versio...

Was one of those a link to the Bone Thugz 'N Harmony and Phil Collins collabo? I can't look at them, because I'm at work.

I still get teary (it always happens when I'm vomitting) from that one! :cry:

I saw them live a few years ago and was thoroughly unimpressed. I have heard their music, but never been a big fan. For some reason, one of the guys had his keyboard over only one side of the keyboard stand and throughout some of the tracks he was kind of rocking it back and forth like a see saw. I ...

I suppose there are multiple ways to do it. For one, you could load all of the clips into session view and then map each key to a different clip. You could use battery to load all of your clips into cells and then map each key to a different cell Basically, get the clips into Live and then map the k...

I don't know about the comment that you need the librarian software to set it up. I haven't even installed the librarian software and I have mine doing pretty much everything I need it to. It's very easy to change which notes each of the pads send. I've been pretty content with the velocity curves a...

I managed to get a lot of work in this weekend. I now have my pads set up such that when they are triggered once, they will stay lit until triggered again. This one was stumping me forever, for a while I had my match arguments backwards, so I kept toggling the last pad hit. :oops: I then set up a qu...

What i have found so far is that only the pads and the x/y pad send out non sysex info on port 2. I guess that makes sense, although I would think the encoders should be sending out something as well. Im gonna get a lot deeper into this this week ( hopefully ). I know that feeling, if only I could ...

Thanks for the replies guys! I actually downloaded MidiYoke, but I was having trouble wrapping my head around it. So I basically need to set up Max to output to MidiYoke1 and Ableton to input from MidiYoke1? There's so much to do with Max that I feel like I'm trying to run before I can walk (sorry a...

Max/MSP & Ableton - How do I set it up?

I just started playing with Max/MSP by going over the first ten or so tutorials. While I was doing this, I started messing with Native Mode on my padKONTROL. In Max, I am able to light up any of the LEDs, output to the LCD and receive Sysex. 8) Big thanks to Fat Elvis, Cera and Machinate. Now what? ...

I must be too busy to actually read other people's posts. :oops:

Good thing the OP had his question kind of answered in the first few posts or this thread would be considered spam.

Have a good week everyone, even if it isn't a 5-day weekend in your neck of the woods. :D
