Programming for MIDI controllers

@jordanorelliTuesday, August 20, 13

This is an EWI.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

An EWI does not make sound.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

It only makes data.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

It is a data horn.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

The data that the EWI makes is MIDI.

A MIDI message looks like this:

MIDI

The EWI sends MIDI messages to a synthesizer.Tuesday, August 20, 13

MIDI

The synthesizer is just a program. It was free.

MIDI

The synthesizer sends sound to the speakers.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

You can send MIDI messages anywhere you

like.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

That is your right as a programmer.

I like to send MIDI messages to Processing...

Tuesday, August 20, 13

MIDI

... and have Processing generates

graphics.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

You can use the synth and Processing at the same

time.

This is my Launchpad.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

It also sends MIDI messages.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

It sends MIDI messages when you push its

buttons.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

Additionally, it can receive MIDI messages.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

Sending MIDI message to the Launchpad can turn

lights on and off.

I like to send MIDI messages to ChucK...

Tuesday, August 20, 13

MIDI

... and have ChucK generate sound.

SOUND

Tuesday, August 20, 13

ChucK is a strongly timed language. “one second” is always the same amount

of time.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

Since rhythm is a function of time, ChucK is an excellent keeper of

rhythm.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

Programming rhythm means programming time

itself.

Tuesday, August 20, 13

(demo)

Tuesday, August 20, 13

We can also send OSC messages from ChucK to

Processing.

OSC

Tuesday, August 20, 13

...and have Processing generate graphics.

We can generate the sound and the graphics at the same

time.
