a max patch that looks nice! no way!

looks fantastic
Matthew Gruman 3 years ago

Now now, there's a few of us who try making our patches look pretty.

Check the UBC Toolbox debussy.music.ubc.ca/muset/toolbox.html for some decent-looking, and very useful, patches (there aren't mine).
Buck Flashroy 3 years ago

Crazeynate (however is spelt) is the best word I have heard this year. Very cool video. Thanks for sharing. Is this for something (maybe a university project)?
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

CRAZINATE! who's gonna design a t-shirt?!

This is a project that I had wanted to do since the wii came out, and I ended up tailoring it to fit an assignment for a class at the University of Edinburgh, where I'm doing a masters degree in Sound Design.
Kristopher 3 years ago

Very cool -- just tried it out, thanks for sharing!
trp0 3 years ago

whoa. Right on! Nicely done.

What language did you write this in?
trp0 3 years ago

I can envision a whole new career option for people with epilepsy.
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

I made this with Max/MSP, which is probably the simplest way to go about it. You can learn about it at cycling74.com
trp0 3 years ago

Max/MSP looks like an interesting project. Using it with the wiimote is a cool idea.
Joe Worters 3 years ago

Most of the guys on my degree course would go nuts for this....one of the few times ive seen a MAX patch put to great use!
Sweet!
Paul C. MacMahon 3 years ago

This is so cool...!
I had a vision of everyone of a dancefloor grooving about with wiimotes in their hands. Pretty chaotic probably, but workable! Interactive parties!
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

whoa!! awesome idea!
Charlie Trotter 3 years ago

Oh my word, that idea breaks my mind.

Dan Masquelier 3 years ago

great concept! I can see all the dj's in the future swinging wiimotes around on stage like glow-sticks haha! Great work
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

Thanks so much for all the great comments, the response for this has been rather overwhelming! Hopefully I'll be able to post some videos of this software in action at a gig in the near future.

Unreal. Just unreal. Where's my stinkin' jetpack?
Gus 3 years ago

Wow.
Erick C. 3 years ago

awesome. when someone gets really tight with it it'd be great to see a giant dance party with the performer running around in the crowd with the controller.
Alex Itin 3 years ago

great idea
more fun than lipdubbing
every one on vimeo should have one.
John Zimmerman 3 years ago

this works great! I like the integration of the d-pad.
binjam 3 years ago

i love the drum and bass part!

....and what thinks Nintendo of it?
binjam 3 years ago

ouaaaa... en fait j'ecri ce truc en meme temps que je regarde le clip et la, surprise, tu causes francais en fait... Cool!
je repose donc ma question: t'en a parle a Nintendo? moi je pense: depose un brevet et devient riche coco! ^.^
c'est vraiment cool ton histoire, jvoudrais etre a ta place et jouer avec, ca me donne trop envie de faire le con avec dans mon appart ou meme avec plusieurs pot' sur le beat YeAHhhhh...
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

hahahha c'est ce que je fait depuis trois semaines! j'aimerais bien le developper pour plusieurs personnes, ce serait trop cool.

j'ai rien entendu de nintendo, on ne sait jamais!

I like the your selling style. This is bound to be a runaway with all those with a musical bent.
greentea flute 3 years ago

I really like this 'cause I am a musician, and I just got a Ts-1000 keyboard for christmas, and I want to mix in my flute and guitar
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

whoa cool! if you use my software i would love to hear the results! i hope to make a live input system in the next version that would be awesome for you.
staceyv 3 years ago

you should do this live. I could watch this all day!
efeele 3 years ago

You should get some dancers, and hide the Wii in their clothing. Watch the music shift with each of their bodys' complex movements. Or, cover the Wii with some glowing material, then turn off the lights. It would have to glow to really get people's attention in a club.
The Disco King 3 years ago

This is great! I'm actually doing some very similar experiments with max/msp at the moment.

can you use more than one wiimote at once?
The Amazing Rolo 3 years ago

not yet! that's an idea for future versions. I want to make a multiplayer music game!

Your dancing is tight, bro! You should attach the wiimote to your hips and dance or something.
