Grafiktablett als Midicontroller Einstellungen

[Derrick S]

Sehr intressanter Bericht in der aktuellen Beat gelesen

Hier werden Möglichkeiten vorgestellt wie man ein Grafiktablett als Midicontroller benutzen kann, z.b. um die Noten im Sequenzer zu setzen

ein Midiprogramm hierfür wäre z.b.: Tablet 2 MIDI http://www.livelab.dk/tablet2midi.php

Tablet 2 MIDI is a standalone windows application that allow you to use your graphics tablet / tablet PC / digitizer as a set of MIDI controllers. You can add a virtually unlimited number of controllers, by defining areas of the tablet surface as buttons, sliders or XY-pads. Controllers can be layered for even more customization.

You define controllers either with the mouse or with the tablet pen.

Using the pen you can digitize any hand drawn controller layout, in other words: add midi output to a piece of paper.

If you prefer drawing with the mouse, you can use a simple right click menu to quickly add a controller

Controllers can be moved, resized and copied. Finally the whole layout can be printed

By having a paper copy of the layout directly on the tablet surface you can move controllers simply by pointing on the tablet and moving the pen. This means you can avoid Looking at the screen - just like when using any hardware midi-controller.

If your tablet supports pressure, tilt and rotation you get a total of 7 parameters that can be mapped to any MIDI Continous Controller or note.

The classis example of usage is to play a theramin VSTi: you can control both pitch, amplitude and filter simultaniously. Textures / drones and pads are handy to control with XY pads too. I've had great luck controlling string based pads using the tablet as a virtual "bow"

If you like to experiment, you'll appreciate the Free form controllers - these are defined by hand-drawing two lines of any shape. Proximity to the first line creates low values, the other creates high values. Freeform controllers can be circular, curved, triangular, you name it!

(IMG:http://www.livelab.dk/images/Tablet2Midi_overlay_small.png) Tablet 2 Midi works even when the application is not in focus. Double click the title bar to "roll up" the application, and still have it generate midi. In other words: tablet2midi works exactly like any other hardware midi controller and leaves your mouse cursor for other tasks. Tablet 2 midi has a special transparent mode, that allow you to view the controllers on top of your audio sequencer for instance, so you have a good overview of the values while working in the other application. In this mode tablet 2 midi is 40% transparent and ignores mouse clicks, passing them on to the application below.

Wer von euch schon mal sowas versucht?

da gabs dieses mono touch live, diesen lemur clone...

hab das damals auf meinem tablet pc installiert und damit per midi over lan das ableton am 2ten rechner gesteuert... das ging ganz gut..

kann mir vorstellen dass das auch ziemlich lässig ist...
