Kinect/Ableton OSC 2013 (Music/Performance Art)
Posted: Sun Dec 01, 2013 11:29 pm
Can anybody share any light on how to setup an Xbox Kinect sensor to control Ableton via OSC on Windows OS?
There seems to be so much outdated software/drivers out there, and info from 2011. Nothing too current. Times have changed, and I just can't work out where I'm going wrong.
I'm prepared to do anything - Buy a new sensor (There only appears to be the KinectWindows/KinectXbox/Kinect 2, SoftKinetic, and Creatives Senz3D available - since Apples takeover of Primesense), buy a Mac (Although I'd prefer not too), learn how to program and develop my own open source drivers/software (Although I'm not a programmer, and don't really wish to waste extensive amounts of time just to get this particular hardware/software running) etc. etc.
I have been working on this for quite sometime and can't seem to find a solution. I've read so many tutorials/youtubes/websites, etc. - and now I'm so lost that it's getting really frustrating.
ie. Windows for Kinect, Primesense, OpenNI, NITE, Delicode, NI Mate, Synapse, KinectA, M4L, etc. etc.
-Different versions, support issues, etc.
Running:
-Windows 8 x64
-Xbox360 Kinect
-Ableton 9.1
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
