Dubstep Bassline using Xbox Kinect

KINECTAR Music Performance Platform available @ http://kinectar.org

Just a quick demonstration of some dubstep wobble madness manipulated live using the Xbox Kinect.

I'm using a MASSIVE patch I made controlling pitch (which is locked to a 3 note scale for ease of use), filter cutoff, resonance, LFO depth, LFO speed, as well as reverb. There's are mapped to the X Y and Z co-ordinates of my hands.


Here's the setup and many thanks to the developers of the free software that effectively gave me an awesome toy to play with! =) ...

- OpenNI http://openkinect.org/wiki/Main_Page
- PrimeSense's NITE Middleware http://www.primesense.com/?p=515
- OSCeleton https://github.com/Sensebloom/OSCeleton
- Max/MSP to recieve the OSC data and convert it into MIDI (cheers for the help josh)
- Ableton Live running NI MASSIVE and a simple drum loop

Running on Windows 7

is the this dubstep setup a preset on kinectar? im going to download it pretty much just for this if it is

[synaecide]

@DrFakeandGay44 Yo. Kinectar just turns your Kinect into a MIDI controller. The toolkit doesn't actually make any sounds itself. Subscribe to my channel as I'll be releasing some tutorials in the next few days and possibly some Ableton Live sets that work with the Kinectar presets. So if you have Ableton Live and a Kinect, the rest of it is totally free :)

I'll be putting a video up tomorrow running through how I use it just to clear the water a bit. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I have this working now (got a Kinect for Christmas) and it's absolutely incredible - Synapse and the Max patches are fantastic. Epic thumbs up to all developers involved.
