Help converting MIDI CC to OSC :: on tour with Eoto

Post by encanti » Fri Apr 01, 2011 5:20 pm

Encanti here. I'm on tour with Eoto doing their visuals with VJ Zebbler. We've produced a huge visual projection show with custom software which controls six channels of HD video and two 12" DMX Colorblasts (24 bit dynamic lighting).

We're want to control the video/lighting software with assignable MIDI knobs, but the software can only receive and interpret OSC. Does anyone know a good Max4Live solution for translating MIDI CC messages in to OSC, and then sending that data over wireless?

Me, Zebbler, and Eoto will be hugely grateful to anyone that can help us out or point us in the right direction. Thank you in advance!

hi

i am not 100% sure if i understood your demands right but if you want to enable some MIDI controllable controls to send OSC you can do this easily with Max for Live

you take a live.dial object (which is mappable to a MIDI controller), use its output to generate a OSC message and send it to the destination with for example "udpsend"

here is a simple example max patch:

-----------end_max5_patcher-----------
</code></pre>


(just in case you do are not familiar with this compressed format, just copy the text above including the begin and end line and paste it into your Max for Live device)

hope that helps

That totally worked!!! That you so much STB! We're now completely able to control our visual software through remotely with Ableton Live.

Here's a screen shot of my successful text max patch: http://i.imgur.com/Kg89M.png

Here's a compilation video just uploaded of our visual software with EOTO: http://vimeo.com/21811969
A million times, thank you!!
