Guitar Controlled Visuals Part 2 -- "Guitar Zero"

Guitar converted to MIDI via Roland GR-33 controls real-time custom made visualization software. Live looping, improvisation...

The second iteration -- with better sound and cleaner looks, thanks to Karim and his cinematographic skills.

Also used the homemade looper this time around, something forgotten during the first iteration.

Stay tuned for more as this project continues to evolve!

Thanks for your compliments...unfortunately I cannot make the max patch available for this. It really is a rather large and sloppy patch and unless you had the GR-33 configured exactly the same way I do, it really wouldn't work for you. One of the drawbacks to custom programmed patches. One day I will have something that will work better across the board...stay tuned

That's pretty cool. What are you analyzing in Max? Amplitude and pitch? The Fractalizer patch might be kind of nice to control with a guitar too. :)

[djmd14]

Since the Roland GR-33 sends MIDI data, the pitch and velocity (amplitude) are analyzed as MIDI information. There is also duration analysis to decide how fast the objects fly around screen. Also, a chord analyzer was developed to display multiple "strings" when chords that it recognizes are struck

That is really cool. Would it be possible to get the max patch for this project?
