Control Center

A gem for interacting with various MIDI controllers.

This was originally forked from launchpad but has diverged considerably:

• Abandon support for Novation Launchpad Mk 1.
• Add support for Novation Launchpad Mk 2.
• Add support for TouchOSB Bridge.
• Improve allocation efficiency to reduce pressure on garbage collector.

Over time I will be generalizing this to interact with arbitrary control surfaces.

Supported Devices

• Novation Launchpad, Mark 2 (the one with RGB support)
• TouchOSC Bridge
  • At the moment only the Device interface is implemented, and you can either consume the input raw, or apply a mapping function of your own.

Requirements

• Roger B. Dannenberg's (portmidi library)[http://sourceforge.net/projects/portmedia/]
• Jan Krutisch's (portmidi gem)[http://github.com/halfbyte/portmidi]

Compatibility

The gem is known to be compatible with the following ruby versions:

• MRI 2.2.4

Usage

To be written. In the meantime, see the examples directory.

Future plans

• Support for more control surfaces.
• Improve efficiency wrt memory allocations.
• Expanded support for Novation Launchpad features (blinking/pulsing, etc)
• Test suite.
• Normalize message structures across devices a bit.
