Ok, so I’m pretty new to vvvv so what I’m trying to do might be somewhat ambitious, but it’s the only reason I wanted to use vvvv in the first place, so please bear with me…
For this experiment, I took a short song I wrote with five monophonic parts, and exported both a .wav file and a .mid for each part (for a total of ten files). Now what I’d like to do in vvvv is have five objects in a renderer, each of which respond to the audio of one of the parts (like an oscilloscope perhaps) and also move (probably up and down) to the note values from the midi. So each of the five objects is being affected by both audio data and midi note data independently.
I managed to get the audio streaming from filestream, and I got the midi out to play the notes with a piano sound which didn’t help me at all, and that’s when I realized that I’ll need a lot of help to do this…
Could anybody send me a patch that demonstrates how to get basic values from streaming midi note data, and also how to create objects which react to streaming audio like an oscilloscope, or bars, or spectrogram or something like that? I would really appreciate it. I’ll follow pretty much any lead at this point. I’d really like to get better at this so that I can make reactive music videos for the music I write.
OR, if you’re up for a collaboration, and you think it would be easier to just build this patch yourself and post it up here, that would be even more awesome. But I don’t want to ask too much of you…
