scale min to 0 and scale max to 1

 Here you are telling this side of the system to expect values from 0 thru 1.0, it can't scale anything because it has no reference point. 

These min and max settings require that they exist on both sides of a link between actors. If on the first side you set min= 0 and max = 1, Isadora will expect values between 0and1 to be output, then on the other end of the link if min is set to = 10 and max = 30, the values from 0 to 1 will be scaled to 10-30.

This works in the same way as the Limit Value Scale actor.

I don't know what you full range of incoming values are, but if you use a Limit Value Scale actor, you should be able to scale to 0-1 or 0-127 depending on where you want to send that data.

if you think I should make any adjustments?

 It looks like you have all the smoothers set to smoothing = 0.2
That is rather low.  You might want to try 0.95 (this is a rather extreme smoothing) to see how that's, and then bring it down from there.

@bonemap Hi Russell I used to use Loopback but got into a bit of a mess as it seemed to play sound when I didn't want any! So I removed it to avoid complications. The Multi Output Device actually seems ok re latency when I have buffer set at 128 samples but it causes occasional digital distortion! I suppose I may try Loopback again. As you know I've been using your audio bloom effects which of course respond to frequency bands which I like. Thanks a s always for you expertise. Cheers, David

@vidasonik

Could it be a case of Ableton not sharing the device? (I know this can occur with Asio in PCs).
It can get a little complex once you have a number of Multi-output and/or aggregate devices. 
A screenshot of your Audio MIDI setup would be helpful since I need to walk through the signal flow.

@Vidasonik 

You can also use the OSC Transmit/Receive and OSC Multi Transmit/Receive actors to send data between computers on the same network (so long as you know the right IP address for each computer)

@dusx yes, thanks! I've done that and seems to work also with the 'Multi-output device' which is another option (along with aggregate device) in the Audio MIDI setup. I guess I'll have to use one of these!

Cheers, Dave

Hi I am now finally ready to begin using a depth camera with Isadora. I work with a dancer and want to do some interesting stuff! I remember being advised to go for an Orbbec but this was a while ago and things move quickly so what should I go for? Maybe there is no simple answer. Any tips gratefully received! Cheers, David

@woland Yes I think it should be possible to simply record all the content ie the audio and the video.

Yes, you can just drag the Max 4 Live file into your Live project.
Or you can put the files into the Max for Live folder setup by default

This is located at: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Ableton\Third Party Max4Live
for me on Windows. (sorry unsure of the Mac path)
Or you can use the 'Add Folder' link at the bottom of the Places section (Collections panel) and select a folder on your system where you are keeping 3rd party Max 4 Live files (this is my approach).

@celiomenard

Thank you

@vidasonik

OK 😞. That's what I see, sort of.

-1 empty that is just made to route your keyboard or midi file  ( midi from >midi controller) to your Isadora ( midi to > Isadora virtual in)

 ok ... this can come in handy! in fact I had tried with a korg sq-1 sequencer and accepted it from isadora's "show status".

Hi there @tomthebom 

In essense you can force the Push2 inside User Mode that allows you to map it as any normal 'midi' controller. You will lose the LCD options, but all other options should work fine, also see this article on their website

https://help.ableton.com/hc/en...

If you then connect it to Isadora you should be able to see the Incoming Midi Messages inside the Status and Monitor windows. If you know that you will be able to make some nice User actors / Macro's for it

@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 :-)

how and what should i set from ableton to isadora?

 What are you trying to do? To route audio from one to the other? Or to route MIDI?

We need more information to try to answer your question.

Best Wishes,
Mark

@skulpture

right.. tap tempo will help smooth out any change in BPM.
You could also add a 'Smoother' actor to make abrupt changes have a transition.

@salimelo

Give us some screenshots and maybe we can spot what's going wrong
