NI Mate "USER" lost trigger

mickey

Hi out there,

does anybody know how to get a simple
"user lost "message into isardora?
(and vice versa "user activ")

via midi or osc

I'm sure NI Mate sends out a value of 0 via OSC if no user is present and then 1, 2, 3, re the more users that are visible.

So if 0 that means none, 1 equals 1, etc.

I will double check.

Hi skulpture,

thanx a lot for your concern!

I can get a "/people" value out of NI_mate -

but:
it starts from "0" then counts up from "1" to "4" and after backwards but only after minutes back to 0 -
whereas in the "log window " it shows a straight forward message: "New user_1" / "user lost"
multi user is `off´ only tracking one person (nearest)...

(tried in in the NI_forum but there its very calm... so sorry to post it here,
but I know, that there are some NI_mate users around izzy.....)

the thingy is :
I want to steer is just a little film sratching 120 frames....
(I did already encounter some strange codec-trouble in the "movie player"...
had a discussion in the forum about it, found a workaround.....)

so it's just straight 0 to 100 tracking but when the user leaves on the ' 100 ' side, the filmpositionwill jump to 0 ( or worse: jitters) but I want it soft.....
- so the plan would be to have an "envelope gen" stable triggered....

small issue big problems....

grateful for every hint

Yup I see your dilema and there has been a conversation about this... (as you know as you commented a few days ago)

http://www.ni-mate.com/forum/#/discussion/68/osc-messages-and-multiple-user-numeration

I will give the comment a nudge and see if the guys reply.

hey sculpture

thanx a lot
I'll check it out ... deadlines....stress....
for now i found a far less elegant solution by bringing up the smoother value for just one sec when the user is on the right side (value eq 100). simple but funktions ,-)
