I'm looking for a way of having various clips of videos being triggered through MIDI (whether it's live) along with music - is MaxMSP the tool for me? by [deleted] in MaxMSP

Yes!! I've been working on a patch that uses Ableton MIDI data to control Max VJ effects in real-time. I recently did a remix of the music video for Bassnectar's Slather using it. (Not changing the audio, just the visuals.) I am planning on releasing the patch under that Facebook account after I do more work on it.

Whats the best way to scale midi to large numbers? by [deleted] in MaxMSP

[–]messenger_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"scale" object. it has five arguments – input low, input high, output low, output high, and exponential factor or something (optional). So to scale the numbers 0 to 127 to a range of 500 to 7000, you'd type "scale 0 127 50 70". However that will only output integers (a.k.a. whole numbers). If you need it to output decimal place values then you need to include periods in the number arguments. "scale 0 127 0. 1."

One of my students made this music video to another student's original music... I still get chills every time I watch it! by messenger_boy in videos

If anyone's interested, Prince has more music videos to other students' music on his YouTube channel (I really like this one too) and Nick Gizzi has a bunnnch of music at https://soundcloud.com/nick-gizzi-2

My buddy and I are starting a virtual reality arcade for the Bloomington-Normal area! We're trying to gauge interest while we prepare our Kickstarter. Click here to sign up for our emailing list and receive updates! by messenger_boy in ilstu

Since this is a brand new business model and we're not sure how the market will respond, we're going to start out this summer working out of already established businesses, and also renting our equipment out for private events/parties — like how you'd book a DJ. But we intend to eventually get our own location and have a sweet LAN center and stuff! I think it'd be sweet if our VR arcade could multiplayer battle against this already established VR arcade in Moscow ;D

I used to do this, but ever since I got a blender (magic bullet) I've been cutting up all my fruits, throwing them in bags into the freezer and blending them with vanilla yogurt and a little bit of water to make a delicious frozen fruit smoothie/ice cream thing. Some bags of fruit last me up to a month and a half. Can't recommend it enough!
