Using this as a base I looked through the list of midi objects and with Lees assistance we tested a number of these midi objects using a midi keyboard until we’d identified ‘notein’ as the best object to use. I then searched through the MAX objects looking for midi and audio related objects and came across ‘kslider’ which displays an on-screen keyboard with note and key velocity information.
KINECT MAX MSP PATCH
The running patch produces coordinates relating to movement seemingly identifying face and hand movements particularly well on both the live view and from the video sequences I’d used.Īlthough these patches were interesting and offered possibilities for pre-loading the video files for our Human Orchestra concept, I still needed to link this to a midi keyboard. The Patch chosen tracked movement either using the Macs iSight Webcam or a video I pre-loaded. I installed these as directed and soon had an example patch up and running. This can be downloaded from and included a number of Video Tracking and Video Manipulation Patches. I downloaded the MAX MSP demo version from which is free to use for 30 days and at the same time downloaded some of the patches Liam demoed, Computer Vision for Jitter or cv.jit. This meant that it would seem to be impossible to have the planned 50 videos available to run live at any time. However, when selecting a new group and adding video files to the next layer group I realised that it seemed that only 1 group could be live at a time. I disabled the A -B Grouping and transition controls so that all 10 layers/videos would display simultaneously in the preview window. I then programmed 1 video file to each of the layers in groups A and B.
KINECT MAX MSP MOVIE
I created a new project and started to add small 10 second MP4 movie files to the Media Set until I had filled one set completely, that is 16 video files in all. Although there was one proviso, a possible negative regarding just how many videos Modul8 could playback at any one time.

We had a very useful lecture Monday on Modul8, which included midi mapping which I had some concerns about originally but all looked promising in going ahead and using this application for our project. Referring to the previous blog entry, the idea was to test Modul8 to see if it could be used for our project.
