  • Confused - assigning midi contollers with wiimote & oscultar

    I'm using the Nitundo Nunchuck as my controllor - every message under the wii reveives a signal - but no sound. Under the nunchuck - no signal or sound is received. I also Ardour - I thought that I maybe able to use that program to assign these controllors - there no documention that I can find to step up the wilmote with nunchuck to get this to work. Can anyone help?

    Hey Gregg,

    I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to do.
    Could you please give a more detailed description?

    Best,
    Camille

      Midi Contollors using CSound

      I'm using Csound instead of Logic to play sound (s) from a nunchuck - like a instrument.
      In the OScultor under the wii mess (pane) - it shows that it's receiving a signal of sound. Under the nunchuck mess (pane) there is signal. I've tried acouple different things to produce the sound - with no success.

      With additional info can you help?

        When you connect a Wiimote, you will receive messages that represent the state of the device, i.e. its orientation, buttons, etc. It does not produce any sound on its own. What you need to do then is to map those messages to events, like MIDI Control Changes (MIDI CC) or MIDI Notes, and configure Csound to listen to those events.

        I don't know Csound enough to guide you through using it with MIDI, but it seems google has results on how to control Csound from MIDI Events.

        Csound also has OSC support, therefore you can use OSC Routing event to send the Wiimote messages to Csound. If you configure Csound to listen for OSC messages on port 9000, then you can use the template called "Wiimote to Max" in the Samples Library folder that comes along with OSCulator. Although this template is made to be used with Max, it is actually usable with any OSC enabled client.

        Best,

          REL: Thanx for the Reply

          I'll give a try - mapping events - I've never done this before - it might challege.

          I get back to you after I give it try to let you know the outcome.

            If you can use Csound, I'm sure selecting MIDI CC form the popup menus will be super easy.

              MIDI Assign Controllors

              Cam - What's Up? Since our last talk I found something that maybe what I was looking for to help with listening & assigning controllors - as was mentioned before.
              In Quecsound are the examples from the toolbar there was info about midi assigning & other midi - i.e. receiving notes, synth, controllor data. Here a screenshot of what midi assign has - /*Getting started.. Realtime Interaction: MIDI Assign Controllers

              In the example below, instrument 100 (which is "always on") receives the MIDI control data and sends it as global k-variables (gk...). You can choose the MIDI channel number and the controller numbers via the spinboxes in the widget panel. You can even change these numbers during the performance. As they are i-values, the opcodes 'reinit' and 'rireturn' are used to put the changes into force (for another examples, see Examples->Reinit_Example).

              In comparison to the example before, the sliders are not 'invalue'-ed to the instruments, so the only way to control the synth is via MIDI-CC's. The GUI is just for displaying, so 'outvalue' is used to send the CC-values to the Widget GUI.

              All the note-on-/note-off-messages must be sent on MIDI channel 1 (or you have to change the massign statement in the orchestra header). The statement massign 1, 101 sends all these messages to instrument 101. Each note here is added to the global audio variable -gaOut-.

              Instrument 102 adds the global feedback delay and the reverb, and finally zeros the -gaOut- variable for the next k-cycle.

              From you see here is this what make the osc & csound talk to each other to play sounds? If, possible - from reading this - could you give the steps to correctly assign the controllors - I'm not really tech savvy as you probably guested. Thanx - Gregg
