I am considering picking up an icube and using it with max to 'assemble' controllers info' into midi messages. I am would like to know how other kyma users have found the using the icube/max with kyma (if anyone else is)?

Or if anyone has a suggestion of how to manage icube control data in kyma without Max that would really be amazing. What I want to do is take multiple controllers and create a script or table that has conditions (if sensor x = ?then velocity =? and sensor y =? then nn= ? if sensor z >= ? then pitchbend = ?). I think I can do it by having each sensor simply output its own midi message then remap those in kyma to create the desired single output message. If anyone has any input or suggestions about unforseen difficulties, I am still in the planning stage so Any input would be appreciated?

On a seperate topic, can a wacom tablet and a motormix be active together in Kyma?

In terms of sensing systems, there are a number of other options, including
Angelo Fraietta's http://www.smartcontroller.com.au/
Eric Singers Miditron http://www.cycling74.com/products/miditron.html
im Place and Jesse Allison's Teabox http://www.electrotap.com/ which uses audio as the carrier for the sensing data and so offeres much higher resolution again.

Then there are interfaces from IRCAM, STEIM, la Kitchen etc etc

On more specifics than my last post.

no way of doing it without Max unless you were to write a new Tool in Kyma I guess??

the Flame object lets you send integers or floats (from your sensors) directly from Max to Kyma as a Continuous Controller, so you can then use the MidiVoice to map these to any hot parameter you desire in Kyma. No need for a sript to check conditions etc of each controller, you could do that in your Hot Parameter field, ie if !myHotParam > 20, xxxxxx do this (syntax not intended to be correct here).

So, this is very easy to do - have fun
