Leap to Midi

[heaversm]

Hey Nick - thanks so much for creating this library. I am trying to use this, in conjunction with osculator, to pipe the OSC messages into Ableton Live, similar to Kyle McDonald's faceShiftOSC - https://github.com/kylemcdonald/ofxFaceShift/downloads. I can get all the messages to register fine in Osculator, but I can't change the event type to MIDI - so I'm not sure if there's something I need to do in the processing sketch, or something that needs to be adjusted in OSCulator, or what. Any idea how I would get this data to broadcast to Ableton?

Interesting discovery--I always assumed that OSCulator had an easy drop-down menu to turn OSC into MIDI, but turns out it doesn't! It is possible, but it requires a lot of messing around; here're the instructions: http://cote.cc/blog/using-osculator-as-an-osc-to-midi-bridge

...personally I would rather use Max/MSP/Jitter (or PD, free) to convert OSC to MIDI as I needed. (I have Max for Live, so I typically do the conversion right inside Live itself.)

Processing can output MIDI though--can you suggest a good controller scheme for Leap? I could implement it

I'll see if I can come up with a working scheme. I tried the max route - I am running a max trial and downloaded this: https://github.com/akamatsu/aka.leapmotion/tree/master/_distribution/aka.leapmotion%200.2 - which captures the leap data successfully, but I wasn't able to figure out how to use max for live in ableton - I have access to the max for live effects. How would you set that up?

Try this...

Hey Nick - nothing came through, but I managed to use your existing code to broadcast MIDI in OSCulator - I just had to demux the OSC message in order to be able to set the midi mappings. It's here if you want it:

That's awesome, thanks! The attachment didn't get through? Here it is again...
