Novation Launchpad, Processing and Resolume Avenue

[serik]

Hej,

last week I bought myself a Novation Launchpad. Since (afaik) Resolume Avenue does not support Midi Out to let the Buttons glow I coded a little sketch right before a gig in processing. It lets the Launchpad glow and communicates with Avenue. So if anyone is interested you can find it on my website:

(you need Processing and the libaries which I used to run it)

As I said it was just before the gig that I did this so there are a few things which are not 100% correct. Even though it was really fun to VJ with it.

For the future I plan to use it as a sequencer for Resolume.

The sad thing is that Avenue does not seem to send OSC commands. So if you trigger a clip with the mouse the launchpad has no chance of knowing what you did.

And I noticed that when you trigger clips very fast it tends to get laggy quite noticably.

Also there are some OSC commands which I miss ... like changing decks.

Any ideas about these topics?

So much for now and hopefully I will soon have a sequencer ready.

nice code sharing.
I'm trying to find out what's wrong with the avenueOscBasic.pde.
The "scub" feautures doesn't work for me.

that seem to me some whishlist problem that is going to be easly satisfied.
As long as people is going to make themselves controller (which is part of what I'm trying to do) tou have to tell the controller something happend beside itself (mouse is still my first controller )

And I noticed that when you trigger clips very fast it tends to get laggy quite noticably.

what do you mean, exactly?

just the manual, but maybe I lack of knowledge of OSC (still new to me)

So much for now and hopefully I will soon have a sequencer ready.

Please post any new things. anche thanks again from the code.

well.
for anybody dealing with avenueOscBasic.pde, change at line 86-87 to reach this

Code: Select all

    myMessage.setAddrPattern("/layer1/video/positionx/values");
    myMessage.add(xpos);

"position" needs to be defined as x or y.
then I changed ypos to xpos to have more space to move


little bug in the skeches.
