iphone touchosc used to control beats live

[thetrincho]

I saw your video and really inspired me a lot, since I had several ideas for the head and in fact just looking for someone like you who can help me. I have the iphone, ableton, touchosc and PureData and all is working, I have mapped all, and I have only the problem of the accelerometer, I can not map it or control it at least not in windows, I have filters and through a midikey (korg nanokey) I have I expect the same result with the accelerometer, it will be helpful, greetings from Madrid Spain

i'm curious... what kind of laptop are you using?  i'm looking to get a good non-mac laptop that can handle music creation. (my only beef with mac is the price).

love the vid. thanks!

@jmichelakos I use a lenovo 3000 n100. I love it. works as well as it did 4 years ago when i purchased it,although there are other brands that will do the job just as well. to be honest, when i do get another laptop, it will probably also be a lenovo.

good luck!

pessimo!

I'm trying to do a similar thing using OSCulator and a bunch of Wii-motes, thru Logic Pro, and with an Ewi4000s.

Not the easiest way to perform, I suppose...

pure data and the iphone are much easier ot get to grips with. eventually i will get rid of the iphone and use dedicated xlrmtr's but touchosc makes agreat testbed.

having it mounted on your hand is great from a visual performance aspect, but isnt it kind of a pain to have to setup all your filters and other parameters before you can start jamming out?

You could mount it on the end of your clarinet, programed to up down, left right, to control parameters, and then you could use both hands on the midi clarinet?

[onyxashanti]

but then every move on the wind controller would represent a parameter change whereas on the hand,it is easy to calibrate to a zero position that doesnt add unneccesary data.

Beatjazz is very much about preparation. live looping, sound design and jazz improvisation; those are the 3 things beatjazz is built on. so preparing a dynamic,controllable array of sounds, filters and effects means that, with practice, you dont have to fiddle with them in performance. you merely "play" them.

[onyxashanti]

very useless...unless you are a wind controller player who gigs and need a way to condense all your most needed controls in one easily accesible place without having to completely disassociate with the instrument.

nice toy, but kinda useless?

Hey it's J. in Indianapolis. I remember having a conversation about this with Sensei Greg and Bill, about ten years ago, in front of the mega record store. NICE!
