Re: [LAD] launch-step: a step sequencer for Novation Launchpads

2017-05-21 Thread Kaspar Emanuel
Expanding it to other hardware is not really planned unless someone
contributes the code or I get something new bit of kit myself that would be
suitable. I mainly made this as I found that there were libs on NPM that I
could kind of just plug together. There doesn’t seem to be a good lib on
NPM for the APC Mini (there is this
<https://github.com/fourseven/loop-apcmini> but I wouldn’t know how to
reuse it, though the application http://loopjs.com/ looks quite interesting
too).

Re: [LAD] launch-step: a step sequencer for Novation Launchpads

2017-05-21 Thread Kaspar Emanuel
Thanks Chris, right now the buttons are:

- Up - Navigate one screen up towards higher notes
- Down - Navigate one screen down (lower notes)
- Left - Decrease number of steps by one
- Right - Increase number of steps by one
- Session - Reset the entire session (deleting everything)
- User1 - Reset the cursor to the start of the sequence (and reset the
clock if an internal clock is used)

The rest of the special buttons are not used yet (can you think up
anything you'd like to do with them?). One thing I am thinking of
doing is having separate sequences per MIDI channel, maybe allow
reconfiguring the buttons and channels with a config file.

Well, the downside is it takes a lot of time to set notes of lower
velocity and it's quite hard to hit particular velocity. The LEDs on
the launchpad can't fade properly, you can only set three brightness
levels so they don't indicate the velocity properly either. But it's
better than having everything at full velocity all the time.

[LAD] launch-step: a step sequencer for Novation Launchpads

2017-05-20 Thread Kaspar Emanuel
Hey all,

I wrote a MIDI step sequencer for the old Novation Launchpads. It has quite
a few different scales (thanks to the tonal package on NPM), let's you
change the sequence length on the fly and set lower velocities by holding
down the pads.

Demo: https://youtu.be/dS_x-FioqHM

Code and installation instructions: https://github.com/kasbah/launch-step

Cheers,

Kaspar

Re: [LAD] C++ guide

2014-06-09 Thread Kaspar Emanuel
If it was for C I would thoroughly recommend Expert C Programming by
Peter van der Linden. Lot's of tips and tricks and so thats why...
moments and an entertaining read at that (e.g. the interludes with
anecdotes about Bugs that crashed spacecrafts). Maybe it would still help
with the C parts of C++.

If there was a book with a similar scope (and humour) for C++ I would very
much like to read it but it would probably need to be at least three times
the size.

I filled it out but I feel like it's not going to garner much more
interesting info than non-coders can help out with documentation and
support on various projects.

Re: [LAD] Get status of ladspa/lv2 parameters

 So, basically, I need to get the parameters FROM the programs (when
 selected or sweeping though them thanks to a button) and either change
 the CC/OSC accordingly on the midi/osc controller or use mididings (or
 equivalent) to map things properly.

 Simply put, is there a way to get a list of hosts, a list of effects
 within host, a list of parameters within effect, and the value of a
 given parameter ? Oh. And the names or any kind of ID would be nice.



Seems like what you want is a custom host that will map the LV2 ports to
MIDI input. I don't think one exists yet.

Hi Lucas,

What are the problems that the supposed driver modification is meant to
solve?

Ciao,
