whiz - new app vid preview

inside - visual lfo (assignable to cc) editor with x/y interface for speed + range
perimeter - 28 step midi sequencer

just gotta finish a few things then i'll post it as soon as it's done

can only imagine what i'm seeing here, but looks great. can't wait to play.

i too am allured by the sofa dog.

:)

anyone else not able to route this to an instrument correctly? i have the serial prefix set as well at the midi out. Its just not sending to live. im using a 256, but i doubt that would matter seeing how its mapped to my 256 on the top two quadrants and lights up.

are you talking about the prefs in live? i dont see a from max/msp midi setting. Nor do i see any midi remote settings in max. All i found was midi setup, but no remote settings.

How do you set live up to receive from max?

ahhh, i'm sorry if it's not working for you, it works on my setup which is just Max & Live.

in whiz: have the MIDI out set to "from Max/MSP" in the sequencer section. don't forget YOU HAVE TO select a cc number in the lfo section. 1 is modulation by default, 7 is volume by default - experiment a bit.

in Live: you need to setup your MIDI prefs for "from Max/MSP" so turn on the remote button to the right of "from Max/MSP"

that said, more likely than not the best way to assign the lfo to something (after the above has been executed) is to have only the lfo pulsating (hit the "L" key" in whiz), make sure the sequencer isn't running and then go back to Live, hit command+M for MIDI mapping mode, select the parameter of the effect or instrument you want whiz's lfo to modulate and it should map instantly. exit MIDI mapping mode and you'll be able to watch the parameter move.

for the sequencer - the MIDI channel in Live should be set to receive either all ins or "from Max/MSP", you should see the VU jumping if whiz's seq is running even if you don't have an instrument on the channel yet.

jeee wilikers; i hope that helps, like i said i had the same problem when i got done building the patch. apologies for the spaghetti inside the patch - it's my first go at programming and i'm learning as i go...

good luck

1) open Max, open whiz.

2) open Live, go to Preferences>MIDI>MIDI Ports>Input.

you should see "from Max/MSP 1" and "from Max/MSP 2" with Track, Sync and Remote buttons to their right.

no?

in my Max MIDI prefs there are "from Max/MSP 1" and "from Max/MSP 2", they need to be turned on.

@veiss:

Max has a "MIDI Setup" option in the File menu. You've got to turn the ports on there. Then they should show up in Live.

@kramer:

Okay, I've got the LFO working. I figured it was something like that. I've never done much MIDI-mapping within Live. Still no luck with the step sequencer though..

I know, those midi ports dont show up in the max midi setup page either.

or are you using xp?

@ bean: did you get it working yet?

@ mudlogger: thanks, and for the input too. for the time being until i update it - try holding the randomizer down till you get a seq that you like

@ veiss & ohmstudiste: sounds like a OS or Max issue, let us know what fixes it

I've got excatly the same setup. Turned the volume all the way up and, yes it's playing the AU DLS Synth here too. Which pointed me in the right place to look. There's a patch cord missing between the MIDI select menu and the noteout object. Patched up, it works.

hi bean. mind sharing the 'Patched' version?

the to/from virtual midi ports for maxmsp are Apple/OSX only, not on windows, veiss.

use midi yoke or maple.

@veiss: nope, get midi yoke
