GenericTransformer.pci outputs four parameters from two XY Pads. Using SoundToGlobalControllers, each parameter from the GenericTransformer can be mapped to any hot parameter in your sound (just edit each SoundToGlobalController as required). The resulting VCS can be tidied up afterwards by just removing the P1...P4 sliders. The memory for stored events has been increased to 250. The example sound illustrates how the GenericTransformer can be used. In this case P1 events are mapped to LFO; P2 events to Density; P3 events to Grain Duration and P4 events to the Time Index hot parameter of a Sample Cloud. Hope you like it! P.S. it has some quirks still but is quite usable nonetheless IP: Logged | |

I'll try and fix it but maybe someone with more SmallTalk knowledge can spot the bug and point me in the right direction to correct it? IP: Logged | |

photonal, that is totally cool Your SmallTalk is pretty proficient I would say! takes pver the whole of Kyma when it runs .. where did you learn all the GUI classes , and did you program this tool all in Kyma, or another SmallTalk, like VisualWorks or Squeak? IP: Logged | |

Thanks Christian for the feedback!  Sorry to say, but most of the code I have just reused from other Kyma tools and merged into this tool; for example the XY pad is not my invention - I don't have the original reference for it on hand right now. I'd like to integrate the tool with OSCulator, so that the pads could be linked to Wiimote controls - I'll post when I manage it. IP: Logged | |

If you're interested in building graphic environments from which to send messages to Kyma, you might want to take a look at Processing (www.processing.org), a fairly easy open source language for graphics. I'm working on a project now, and I have the wacom tablet interacting with animated graphic objects in Processing and sending OSC via Osculator to Kyma (actually I'm using the wacom object from Max and sending OSC to Processing, since Processing doesn't seem to have a support yet for tablets on Mac - I'll probably use Max as well for the Wii when I get around to that). It's still in progress, but I have all the communication happening. Processing includes libraries that support input from the camera, 3d objects which can rotate in space, physics (springs, gravity, drag), even esoteric things like grabbing data from the internet, controlling Arduino, etc. It's nice to be able to use the Pacarana for the sound and create an interface to control it with all the CPU that's left over on the computer.

I think you could do both the tablet and the Wiimote in OSCulator and have it send OSC to Processing. Is that correct, Camille? IP: Logged | |

Processing is cool , and even better that it can route OSC to Kyma ( thanks to Camille ! ) Is it an OOP language too? What is the best way to learn its syntax etc? [This message has been edited by cristian_vogel (edited 01 June 2009).] IP: Logged | |

Hi cristian, I 've just done a year of Processing at University (back to study after 15 years!) and I have to say it's quite a nice language. Essentially it's Java with a bunch of multimedia stuff built in. If you are interested I'd recommend the "official" Processing book from Fry and Reas, pretty comprehensive IMO. I also enjoyed the book from Daniel Shiffman, it actually made the trigonometry required for 3d shapes fun! My only critique of Processing so far is that the sound libraries suck. Thankfully we have a slightly more interesting platform to explore, Processing does OSC and OSCulator on a Mac seems to interface with this fine Have fun David IP: Logged | |

Hallo David, A few questions regarding Prcessing... How are you getting OSC data into Processing? (or are you mapping OSC to Mouse/Keyboard input?) Audio input seems to be limited to just Stereo channel (is it possible to select an Audio device and specfic audio channel?) There doesn't seem to be any MIDI input possible into Processing (or am I missing the relevant library?) Thanks in advance! IP: Logged | |

Hi Andrew, I'm on a Mac using OSCulator for OSC. Sending OSC from Processing via OSCulator to the Capybara. To be honest I've not done so much with MIDI in Processing, but I had a quick play with the RWMIDI library: http://ruinwesen.com/support-files/rwmidi/documentation/RWMidi.html It seemed to find all my MIDI interfaces fine. There's a good post about another MIDI library on the Processing forum: http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1227841230 I'm slowly trying to create something similar to the generic transformer originally discussed here in Processing to send OSC to the Capybara. It's on my list of things to do, which is rather long HTH David IP: Logged | |

I once tried to get the Processing midi library to recognize my interface without luck. But that was awhile ago. I haven't worried about getting audio into Processing, or played with the audio libraries (although they seem to work, but they are kind of limited in comparison to Kyma, to say the least...). Since I have OSC working between Max and Processing, and between both of those to Kyma via Osculator (thanks, Camille!), using Processing's midi and audio in/out should be easily avoidable. If I need messages to come from Kyma, I can have it send midi out to Max or Osculator, to be sent as OSC to Processing. Phil IP: Logged |
