Volca Beats Velocity to CC device - M4L coder wanted

[J0J0 Todos]

Hi,
I recently documented my solution on velocity sensitive control for the "Korg Volca Beats" (over MIDI). The whole thing is based on the Freeware MIDI manipulation software "MidiPipe" and some AppleScripts: https://blog.jojotodos.net/volca-beats-velocity/

The basic idea for my approach came out of this thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=194447

I now kindly wanted to ask if anyone is motivated to program this into a M4L device. Here someone did it for the "Korg Volca FM" already: http://maxforlive.com/library/device/45 ... elocitizer (Thanks to Hannes for the hint!). I assume this would be a decent starting point for extending it to work with the Beats. I guess a kind of mapping table would be needed that saves the relation between drum instruments and volume level CC numbers. In an ordinary programming language I would call this a 2 dimensional "array", not sure what this would be called in M4L.

If I had the time these days I would do it myself, just trying to motivate someone else to do it. With all the information provided here it should be doable.

Thanks a lot, hoping for positive replies, thoughts on implementation details, anything!
Jojo

first list NoteNumbers second list CCNumbers, then press "bang".

wow, what's that? a base64 encoded max patch? will check this out soon... thanks in advance already!!!!!

[J0J0 Todos]

Hi doubleUG!
thanks a ton for your code! I managed to understand it, learn a lot from it and build some stuff around it. I would like to put it on my maxforlive.com profile and my blog. I hope you don't mind? Certainly I could mention your forum name on the devices page as a form of saying thank you. That ok with you?
Jojo

[doubleUG]

thats ok
happy patching
