DIY Lemur

[MaghoxFr]

pretty awesome

[Slah606]

I like how you use Reason on the other screen.

[titanisiam]

What is the status on your mutli-touch version!?

(You haven't updated your blog in awhile.)

Any progress on a glove-free version too?

ALSO: When performing, where do you have the wiimote placed?

[ludovicBerquin]

yeah that's a really cool DIY interface,

of course it's limitated, but it's the worth to try at least

and also it's not "monitor dependant" -> relly cool

[myuhlz]

great job!

[lasseluktarsvavel]

buy a jazzmutant lemur instead of this, this is just a wannabe

[OldManHippo]

The $40 wannabe has a bigger screen than the $2000 original. And you can build your own objects. And change the graphics to suit your needs.

It's not multitouch. And you do have to wear a glove. But it's almost two grand cheaper. And if you used an FSR instead of a momentary switch, this could be pressure sensitive. The lemur can't be.

It's also possible to obtain, which is a plus. (the Lemur is currently out of stock while undergoing renovations)

So, there are tradeoffs...

[ChimeraProd]

Also, does this lag or have noticable delay if you do quick movements with a fader (maybe 2 inches wide?)

I noticed you use the interface slowly with your fingers, just wondering how practical this really is compared to the Lemur.

[midimeek]

There is no lag to speak of and I had a ton of fun with this setup, but have to admit that I haven't played with it in quite some time. Many other projects, including work have kept me from continuing. But I would like to note that it is possible to get this working as multitouch and with some infared leds shooting into a plexiglass overlay its also possible gloveless. Just have to code it.

@midimeek Could you PLEASE message me re: gloveless and multitouch versions. Even a quick "what you have to do" is more than handy.

Hi everyone, I´ve found this video so interesting.....that I would like to learn how to create the virtual midi interface with max msp, since I want to get rid of all my midi hardware.

Have you tried to create a custom midi interface like the one we see on the video, with X/Y pads and sliders?

[ChimeraProd]

Is there any software to emulate a midi controller to use with this on PC? I was seriously going to buy a lemur until I saw this, but only if its possible to make other programs think it really is a midi controller.

[midimeek]

All you need to make yourself a midi controller "emulator" is max/msp. its cross platform and if you go to my link in the description you can find info on how to do it.

[midimeek]

i do suggest you use an overlay on your screen on both my informative link and in previous comments

[GrubeMasterFlex]

yyyyyaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!

[DJPeteJames]

Cool but not multi-touch.

[mryellow123]

I think the software guy has some multi-touch whiteboard demos....

[argophontes]

Would be with another glove. Johnny Lee's software supports multitouch.

[snorkman88]

I think the glove is GREAT!!!! congratulations!!

I want to create a virtual MIDI Interface to control ableton and this glove, I have been looking into your website and some links are broken.

Would you be so kind to post another video tutorial explaining how to create a virtual MIDI interface on MAX/MSP??

[midimeek]

Follow the link in my info to learn how to do this in max/msp

[maxkikken]

your voice:S

[JulCanada]

hey

can you implement one led per finger to emulate multitouch?

[midimeek]

with some clever coding in max/msp...yes

[TriphopJunkie]

Cool but id rather spend the cash and Pro equipment rather a DIY but its cool !! This is how equipmens made in begining stages.. good stuff

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

Holy mole.

Are you telling me i can use my regular screen as a touch screen ?

I've been dying to get my hands on a Lemur, but it looks like i may not have to wait !

I need to ask a few more questions, then im gonna go ahead and buy a second monitor just for this !

[halorivet]

thanks i figured it out,I can create my own patch and all now wonderful!...where is the monome patch i cannot find it on the monome website...

[halorivet]

what do i do to get a virtual midi controller in max to control midi in an app. like reason?

[midimeek]

you can select max/msp as a midi device in reason, just like adding any other device.

[nativeops]

HMMM. very clever

[viiili]

This is rather cool. Please continue, you are being appreciated.

[hbeezey]

seems like that would eventually damage your monitor

[midimeek]

i place a piece of glass on top of my monitor to protect it. Suggest that everyone would do the same.

[veiss8801]

This is fucking nuts. I cant wait to get it set up. Can you load any max patch and control it via the wiimote? how do you make the interface for the monitor?

[midimeek]

You could control really any program with this, all wiimote whiteboard does is act like a mouse.

[tusiata]

niiice. I hope you get the multi-touch working, that would be sick. wish i had a wiimote to try this with...

[pme71]

Nice work but,..

APart from the clever max patch what is the difference from a normal touchscreen?

the lemur is multitouch

[midimeek]

the cost is the main difference here, plus i am currently working on a max patch that will incorporate multitouch and a new infrared overlay for monitors that will eliminate the need for a glove. More info on my site.

[timonsteri]

Ha ha, looks fun! I hope you can make gloveless/multitouch version of this. ^^
