New Launchpad App: Wac.LpDj

Post by willyc » Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:32 pm

Hi,

I have remade the popular Monome application dj64 by BitBasic (http://www.bitbasic.co.uk) for use with a Launchpad. The application also works with a Monome.

While fundamentally the same as dj64, Wac.LpDj is a complete re-code in Max. Max programmers should find the code significantly easier to decipher and change to suit their needs. A number of features are implemented differently, both programatically and in terms of how the user interacts with the application. As the saying goes, there's often more than one way to skin a cat.

Integretation with a Monome should work straight out the box.

Integration with a Launchpad requires my wac.LaunchpadHandler OSC wrapper for the Launchpad.

Both can be downloaded from my site: http://www.chippanfire.com

Enjoy. Feedback appreciated.

And much credit to BitBasic for the original dj64 - it's a corker.

dj app...I think :|
THANKS...I will definitely give it a spin
I've actually incorporated some monome apps to my setup permanently...
TR256/Soyuz/PolyGome/arpShift are now rocking my world !
the grid is an (expandable) instrument to be mastered...
So much fun...
also takes playing live one step further ...

I now understand the monome hype... now wanting the 256 version...
it's nice to dream sometimes..

To clarify:

Wac.LpDj is an audio application for djing using either a Launchpad (via Wac.LaunchpadHandler) or a Monome

That is, playing music from your computer using a Launchpad (or Monome) as the control surface. The application gives you a variety of realtime effects and playback manipulation techniques (cutting, scratching etc) on top of the two decks/vol/crossfader/speed controls you'd expect to find in a traditional dj setup.

Full manuals/details included in the download
