Dear All,

It's an oldie but a super-useful goodie: the Musical Instrument Digital Interface better known as MIDI. On June 5th at 6pm CEST, Isadora's creator Mark Coniglio will show you how Isadora can play music, respond to a MIDI instrument or controller, listen to other programs sending MIDI, and pretty much every little nook and cranny inside Isadora that deals with this easy-to-use communications protocol.

See you there!

Best Wishes,
Mark

Can't wait! I use Logic and Ableton sending midi to Isadora to provide interactive visuals to sound (guitar/voice/ambience) count me in! David

@Vidasonik

Well, if you're already doing that I am unsure if you'll learn something new. Hopefully I'll find something that surprises you! ;-)

Best Wishes,
Mark

Vidasonik

@mark I'm sure I will!

@vidasonik I'm also into that with a midi e-drums...

The device that gets midi output from plants that I mentioned in the chat of this session: https://www.midisprout.com/

I think this might be @Skulpture 's Ableton-Isadora video tutorial that Mark mentioned in the Guru Session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Bo5v3Txd8

If anyone else has Ableton-Isadora tutorials or knowledge they'd like to share here it'd be greatly appreciated. (I'm not an audio person so I can't help...)

@woland THX much also to @Skulpture !

@mark great session, although using MIDI in Isadora for quite a while, you can always learn. Was working last year on a project with a brainsensor connected to piano and drone synthesizers in Reason. Although a EEG brainsensor as such is a simple controller, it needs a lot of handling which is controlled in Isadora. Also the sound triggering and musical evolution, related to brainwave intensity and brain state are managed by Isadora. The baseline is that no other physical intervention is taking place and that the resulting sound is unique for its moment in time. Fun :-)
