More reaktor progress
Well, after a massive HD crash that left me having to remake all the work i had done to date, i have made a little progress with Reaktor.
This ensemble is a one channel beatloop module that you can slice up with the 40h buttons, and displays the loop position back to the led’s. (essentially like the sample channels in the ‘mlr’ MAX patch).
Since making this version i have discovered an easier way to wire up the led output part of ensemble, but its something to be going on with. Also i’m not sure beatloop modules are the way to go with this. Audio event tables may be a better bet.
Reaktor problems - fixed
The problems with Reaktor detailed earlier are now fixed SerialIO has been updated so that it accepts OSC parameters as floats, as that is what Reaktor sends, regardless of what is given to it by the instrument/ensemble code.
Reaktor problems - more info
got this from David at Monome:
“From what I can tell, this is something that mapd should solve. It seems
to be a common problem with communicating with Reaktor over OSC. (NOTE!
Input into Reaktor works great at the moment). This has to do with how
Reaktor labels OSC outputs. I’d recomend waiting for mapd which is right
around the corner.
Here is a thread discussing the matter…
Alternatively, you could build a parser in PD or Max to translate the
messages until then.”
Looks like we will have to wait for mapd
Reaktor test
Have been trying to set up the 40h to talk to Reaktor via OSC. So far, i have managed to get Reaktor to receive events from the 40h. Problem is, getting reaktor to set the LED’s on the 40h seems to be a problem.
This is a screenshot of my Reaktor OSC setup (and serialIO setup). Through the reaktor OSC settings, I can send and receive OSC data with the 40h. Like I say, incoming data from the 40h is fine, but sending OSC packets to the 40h is flakey.
i can send the “test” OSC message to the 40h and that works ok. but any “led” based messages are ignored.
I guess the best way to work this out is to post my test files… so here we go:
This is a reaktor patch that takes input from the 40h and routes it to the screen. More importantly, it also sends data to the 40h. The XY field sends ‘led’ messages, and the other buttons do what they say (set the Test and low-power modes).
At the moment, the test button works ok, but the XY grid is not working. For some reason, the 40h accepts the ‘box/test’ packet, but not ‘box/led’.
So thats about it for the mo. any help is gratefully received.
