piz midi plugins (windows/linux/mac)

[insertpizhere]

I will make more of these. Some ideas:

- Pitchbend/aftertouch/cc converter

*bump*

I've got Channel Pressure wanting to reach out and touch whatever CC# it damn well pleases.

Umm, pretty please?

yes, i just added other messages (pitch bend, channel pressure, program change) to the "midiCCChanger" and renamed it to "midiConverter".

it should work right, mostly, except it will lose precision if you convert pitch bend to pitch bend. if anyone complains about that, i'll try to fix it.

i'll put it in the main package if there aren't any major problems with it.



i also started working on a CC LFO. it's not that great yet and i think it drifts from the tempo.

insertpizhere, let me know if you need any bone marrow or anything somtime

btw, you might want to start dating your archives for the sanity of your testers

will do.

i think i'm good for bone marrow at the moment... very generous offer though, thanks.

If you ever need, I could probably cough up a lung.

I have not tested anything but the Channel Pressure to CC#, High and Low. That was enough, you see, to send me off with Surge and Daedalus. Both have excellent support for Channel Pressure, wanted to experiment with the added fun. Certainly didn't have any problems with midiConverter, neither did Truc when I added it to the mix.

pizmided is a mild-mannered 1:10.mp3 with midiConverter helping control various volume, wet\dry, cutoff and freq. Haven't even scratched the surface of what midiConverter can do.

insertpizhere makes MIDI your bitch.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Seriously.

I mean, Holy Crap, ya know?

small midi pads update:
- Mighty Pea's icons are included
- "4 pads" mode
- smaller minimum size (50px)
- minimum height for menu button

i also made some improvements to the LFO. should be more accurate, and smoother. http://thepiz.org/xt/midiSimpleLFO.zip


and here is a note/velocity to CC converter: http://thepiz.org/xt/midiNotesToCC.zip

I noticed the midiMonitor's absence.

Plugins with GUI (coming soon):

midiMonitor - resizable, scrollable

[insertpizhere]

it's still in here: http://thepiz.org/xt/pizmidigui.zip
but i think it can crash if you send it too much data too fast, so it needs some work.

"pizmided" is cool!

i updated the "official" package with the new plugins (midiSimpleLFO, midiNotesToCC, midiConverter)... only for windows so far:

My testing can't keep up with your creating.
This is so great

luckily, i do test them a little bit, so they should, more or less, do what i intended them to do. it'll probably slow down next week though.

cc converter: add inertia. so the cc2pb coversion is real double resolution. it's useful playing with optical sensors(theremin like instruments) that send only cc messages

ok, good idea.






i just uploaded a resizable bars/beats/time counter for use in XT2. if you make it really huge your graphics performance might suffer... i'll optimize it some more later. click on it to switch views. http://thepiz.org/xt/counter.zip

Invert notes is cool!

is there any hope for rotary encoders?
i finally found a way to realize it. the distance from the actual and the previous mouse position(in rotary enc the distance is circular) sets the value for a "speed" variable that will control the frequency of midi messages (in relative enc, only one message per direction is sent)
so if speed is 0 no message is sent and if speed is high or reach the max value, many midi messages are sent.

yes, but i can't take credit for the idea. it does exactly the same thing as Tobybear's MIDI-Mirror, which has been available for several years. i really only made my version to get the effect on linux.

i will give it a try soon. it would be a useful thing to have.

i tested this algorithm in maxmsp. it works. but not tested with any djdeck yet.
it needs a lot of fine adjustments (like speed curve) to translat the movements in midi cc frequency...

i notied that maxmps has a function called mousestate that gives the delta (the difference between the actual and the previous position), but this dela is zero if the screen limit is reached. so my it's impossible (or it seems) to use trackballs as endless encoders.
the best way to realize endless encoders seems the rotary enc solution. it's the only that permits to move endless left or endles right leaving the mouse\finger on the screen.
i can share my experiences if you'll need
