Re: midi2color

It is a custom patch , the precise and effective process for making the same is described at this URL.

I f you follow the directions, you'll end up with a combined Midi2Color and Number2Color plugin all of your own.

Re: midi2color

Apologies, grapejuice, but having taken the time to re-explore this project code I find that the project pointed to is circa 2007 and won't produce a working result on Leopard SDK.

Quite forgot how old this was.

If I find a working copy I'll post it, but I half suspect that it is simply defunct on Leopard.

In any case, it doesn't address MIDI values directly and is really a number cruncher and can therefore be replaced with any other number cruncher QC plugin.

Basic problem, needs some interface hooks to be satisfied from the outset on build & copy.

Will look back again and see about reworking this.

Like the idea of being able to use more than the raw normalized 0.0 to 1.0 values to a color map. Nice.

Re: midi2color

It's a Leopard QC plugin project, surely: pre-Leopard, QC didn't have official plugin support (though of course Kineme found their own way of adding custom patches).

Re: midi2color

Thanks for the clarification, which still means that the online documentation I thought would be a good study is a harder study than I thought when I first recommended it.

edit - toneburst, you're absolutely right - just checked revision date on the programming pages and sure enough - post Leopard release revision date

Re: midi2color

Thanks for all your info guys...

I posted a request up here a while ago about how you'd make a patch that would allow me to assign arbitrary values to midi notes, people have suggested writing some JS to make such thing but I don't know how. I was thinking MIDI2color would be a close cousin.

A fella can dream can't he?

Re: midi2color

here is the midi2color plugin. with an example patch its not really hooked up to anything midi but it works with notes 0-127 im just using a interpolation patch instead of my keyboard right now. you do something similar with a HSL color patch as well. so the example here needs kinemeGL line and spline to visualize.

Re: midi2color

Good working proofs of concept. Interesting iterations.

Re: midi2color

thanks,

check out the repository patch i just put up, its the same sort of iteration but in a infinite loop instead of a star.

Re: midi2color

i didn't notice this but when you interpolate the midi2color plugin it gives you some wicked results if you put on anagram glasses or the red/blue glasses.
