CC2 - Week 8 - MIDI and MSP

After much tribulation, here it is. I have gone a little further than just applying MIDI controls, and built a whole new concept of selecting sections of a waveform. The user can select a control device, which is used to change the size of the selection. This selection can then be shifted left or right along the wavetable using the pitchbend wheel. This pic shows how full on it was just to make it do this.



Although it took ages, the result is really cool and worth the hassle. Some of the other patch controls are also controllable by a MIDI device, however we all know how that works. Space bar now turns the patch on and off. There will be no huge MP3 of this weeks task, as it would sound identical to last week, however here is a little snippet of what my new control scheme can do... cancel that, I can't get anything to record on the Macs. Why is there no option to record just the system sound? Nothing in Audacity or Peak, the recorder in Max has "unable to access..." errors, and I don't have any MIDI input devices for my laptop to do it on there. Grr. Here's the patch etc.
