Hi friends! Here's a prototype of LeapMIDI, a project to control TidalCycles (and other MIDI-enabled instruments) from hand movements in the air.
Here the Midi CC signals are sent from the Webapp with the WebMIDI API, to Supercollider via MIDI Through
, then mapped in my Tidal track to control each instrument's gain and effects such as a global djfbus
or individual crush
levels.
It's just a proof of concept for now, but once I sort out some details like smoothing (it's a bit rough for now as the LeapMotion is quite sensitive to small movements), I'm sure this can be a neat addition to a live performance setup!
