the MIDIvice library
====================
VERSION:
0.1
--------------------
GENERAL::
the MIDIvice library is a collection of externals for miller.s.puckette's realtime-computermusic-environment called "puredata" (or abbreviated "pd")
this MIDIvice-library will be of no use, if you don't have a running version of pd on your system.
check out for http://puredata.info to learn more about pd and how to get it
LICENSE::
the MIDIvice library is published under the Gnu General Public License that is included (LICENSE.txt).
some parts of the code are taken directly from the pd source-code, they, of course, fall under the license pd is published under.
AUTHORS::
this software is copyleft 2002-2008 by IOhannes m zmoelnig <zmoelnig@iem.at>, Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Dramatic Arts, Graz, Austria
--------------------
PURPOSE::
MIDIvice attempts to make handling of complex(!!!) MIDI-devices easier under Pd. It's like hiding all the SysEx-crap.
Such devices include
- mixing-consoles
- controllable patch-bays
- Synthesizers (for doing SampleDumps etc.)
Such devices do NOT include:
- Synthesizers (for playing purposes; there is enough support under pd, i think)
- hardware, that gives your PC the possibility of doing MIDI (so really, i am not going to write another device-driver for your USBMIDI thing)
SUPPORTED DEVICES::
- MotorMix(tm) by cm-labs(r) - http://www.cmlabs.net
8-channel motorfader-box with lots of buttons, LCDisplay and pan-pots.
the MotorMix-specification were supplied by cm-labs (Many thanks !!).
You can now download it from ftp://ftp.iem.at/pub/pd/Externals/MIDIvice/motormix.pdf
objects:
MotorMix - ping and reset the MotorMix
motormix_rotary - get movements of the rotaries
motormix_encoder - get movement and push-state of the special "encoder"-rotary
motormix_faderIn - get movements of the faders
motormix_faderOut - move the motorfaders
motormix_button - get button press/releases
motormix_LED - switch on/off the button-LEDs (ot let them blink)
motormix_LCDtext - display some text on the MotorMix-LCDisplay
motormix_LCDgraph - display some simple graphics on the MotorMix-LCDisplay
motormix_7seg - display something on MotorMix's 7segment dispay
--------------------
TODO::
support for FriendChip digital patchbays
support for TCelectronics M-5000
...
feel free to send me your wish-list (probably with MIDI-specifications)
BUGS:
none known (right now)
motormix_button/LED could be more intuitive...
--------------------
INSTALLING::
linux :
change to directory source
adapt the makefile to match your system (where is pd installed ?)
"make clean"
"make"
"make install"
this will install the MIDIvice library into <mypdpath>/pd/extra
documentation will be installed to <mypdpath>/pd/doc/5.reference/MIDIvice
alternatively you can try "make everything"
win32 :
i haven't had time to compile and test the MIDIvice-library under Windos yet.
Good luck !
darwin :
TODO
irix :
though i have physical access to both SGI's O2s and indys, i haven't tried to compile the MIDIvice library there.
Good luck !
--------------------
RUNNING::
add the "MIDIvice" library to your startup-path
see doc/ for more information
