piz midi plugins (windows/linux/mac)

[insertpizhere]

Well, all the ones i've tried so far just pass on unaltered data: Invert Notes, Velocity Scale, NotesToCC, and Channelize.

I'll be happy to help with any recompiling or other debugging for your Linux versions, I'd like to see your plugins working in JOST, they look very helpful.

the problem could be that i switched to vstsdk 2.4 for that version and never got around to actually testing it.

i don't have the source code with me right now, or any linux installation to test it on... but the previous (vstsdk 2.3) linux package is still here: http://thepiz.org/xt/pizmidi.tar.bz2

see if those work... for most of the plugins, the different sdk was the only real change.

in any case, i'll probably fix it tonight.

thanks for testing!

ok, my plugins appear to do absolutely nothing in jost, but they work in the linux XT2. i'll take this to the jost forum.

thank you. let me know if i can help in any way.

btw: jost uses the 2.3 vst sdk, but i think you know that already.

Please can explain how work your aplitude to MIDI?

I want extract from ableton chanell, L and R amplitude and convert to L cc and R cc
I wnat use for vumeters on my software MonoTouchLive (www.monotouchlive.com)

I need send that MIDI cc OUT OF HOST (ABLETON)
And need this on OSX?

Your amplitude to midi can do this?

[Groboto]

This plugin is aprently exactly what i need, but i can make work.

[Groboto]

I try use midiAudioToCC but not understand how
I use ableton, i create audio track, put any track to play, the just drag midiAudioToCC to the audio track effects, and audio just mute, the metter of ableton disapear and apera a MIDI METER of ableton,

How midiAudioToCC work?

midiAudioToCC can analize audio and convert to midi CC?

I see have option to work on mono or stereo, exactly like i want and need, but can explain how install?

Amplitude of signal is coverted to midi cc values in real time?


I want use this plugin for make external vumeter work.

I apreciate a little of help due i not udnerstand how this work

[Groboto]

Ups sory for lot of post, now i think i understand more : (
The plugin not act like bypass for audio?
The plugin cant send MIDI out of host?

here's how i tested it in Live:

put midiAudioToCC on a midi track, and send the audio track's audio to the midi track. this is with the version in the folder that says "inst (use in Live, Cubase, etc)". i'm not sure how to get the midi out of Live, but that's because i'm just not familiar with Live.

if i have time i will try to make an "effect" version that can be used directly within an audio track.

[Groboto]

Please make "effect" version that can be used directly within an audio track.
I donate for that : )
If you need free web hosting i can provide free lifetime web hosting, included your free .com .net or .org domain : )

Please make efect version can do that, and for sned midi plugin need support send miid out, out of the host : )
Can do aame plufin for OSX and windows?

[insertpizhere]

it shouldn't be too hard. i'll see what i can do.

MonoTouchLive looks pretty cool.

[Groboto]

Thanks for your comment about my software : ) your plugins are absolutly great, i love plugins, without that hi resourser heating GUI : )

I want find some developer can create version for OSX and more complex version of MonoTouch , possible complete new version, i create MTL on synthmaker, and for now work under windows only, Synthmaker MAC port available at the middle end of 2008 : (
If you have some free time and want work on this project, i really interested in talk about that.

Well when you have some free time this is needed for new version of amplitude to midi plugin:

1- OSX and WIN port ( first OSX please jijiji i use ableton on OSX)
2- Plugin need act like audio effect, making measures of amplitude to midi CC and bypassing the audio.
3- MIDI out should go OUT of host directy from plugin, i read that is possible under windows and under osx, synthmaker can do that and i see lot of plugins support that.

I apreciate your explain, but using on taht way is too complex, you need one extra midi track per audio track want analize and i cant send yet midi out of host (ableton)

Thanks again for your time : )

insertpizhere if interested in talk about monotouch or just meeting for fun, please sendme prvate message with your messenger, you have msn messenger?

your midi converter is great. im using it a lot. really ... more than i would even like . this happens because i need to map 16 midi CCs, so i end up having to add 16 midi converter plugin instances. so my suggestion here would be a new plugin that only mapped CCs . it would have 16 CC slots just with in and out. ie, in CC4 / out CC 27 . and maybe just a global in and out channel option.

another feature i would like to have in midi converter would be the possibility to map a CC to a NRPN msg. before i didnt even knew what were NRPN midi msgs. but since i bought ohmforce ohmboys vst delay i need (or i would like) to use those kind of msgs, since ohmboys have all the knob parameters hardwired to NRPN msgs (ive cursed them sometimes for doing that). you prolly know how this kind of msgs work. but anyways i leave here a text paste from the ohmforce docs in the case you ever implement such a feature (or even make a new plug for this specific task)

from the ohmforce docs

"
What is NRPN ?

It's a way to send 14 bit data to a MIDI de-
vice. There are 16384 possible NRPN, each
one corresponding to a 14 bit value (i.e. a
value between 0 and 16383). This system
uses 4 predefined CC. You have to send to
the MIDI device the NRPN number, and
then the NRPN value.
CC 99 and 98 are used to send the NRPN
number. The value conveyed by CC 99 rep-
resent the 7 first bits of the value, the one
being conveyed by CC 98 the 7 last bits of
the NRPN number. Then, you use CC 6
and 38 to send the required value. If you
want to only send a 7 bits value, simply
send the CC 6. So, for example, to send
NRPN #831 value 257, you have to send:
CC \#99, value 6
CC \#98, value 63
CC \#06, value 2
CC \#38, value 1

ah yes... mainly i haven't made this because plastique made one that can route all 128 CCs to any others (see S-CC-Matrix). maybe that's overkill for some things, so i might do it anyway.

NRPNs (and RPNs i suppose) should be part of the converter eventually. i don't use them myself, so i was waiting for someone to ask before getting around to it.

until then, DH_MIDIMunger does support RPN/NRPN.

(my plan is that midiConverter will eventually be able to do almost the same conversions as one midi munger rule)

thanks for the tip...

ive tried S-CC matrix two days ago... unfortunately the gui in that plug is a bit weird to use...really not my kind of stuff...and also it takes much more computer resources than your guiless plugs ... anyways... i guess ill use it till i find something that works better for me.

ok, my plugins appear to do absolutely nothing in jost, but they work in the linux XT2. i'll take this to the jost forum.

Any news on this problem ? I don't mean to push, but I'm writing an article for the Linux Journal and I've mentioned that the pizmidi set works with eXT2. I'd like also to mention that they work with JOST (the subject of the article).

Regardless, I look forward to an improved pizmidi for Linux.

Best,
