ALL VERY TECHNICAL

On Monday the audio files were copied and saved into Logic. We thought there might be a problem as we couldn't copy wav files before but we just dragged them over and it worked! So each file was placed onto the keyboard in the program. Some of the samples had to be set into the correct key range because when we copied them over, starting with the note C1, some went off the keyboard. When they were copied back on, the notes were really low, so that had to be fixed. We had a play around to see what effects we could use but Nicola thought it would be best if we got the samples into a sequence first, using the midi suit, so we would just put effects on the final tune, which i thought made sense. We can then use the granulation effect in max/msp, which sounds great.
On Tuesday, we had to build a patch in max/msp so that our audio files could be understood and the midi suit could manipulate them. With loads of help from Jonathan, we achieved this! First we adjusted the suit to fit me correctly. It had to be calibrated to make sure the movement was picked up correctly and that the readings didn't go off the graph. We then created the patch: (click pic to enlarge)



We saved the audio onto Logic via an external hard drive as we used a different Logic program yesterday so it wasn't saved on this computer. There was a problem with the suit operating not only the keyboard but also the volume and panning because two midi inputs were being read so Logic express couldn't distinguish between the two. Logic Pro can tell the difference between the midi input ports so tomorrow shouldn't be a problem.
