WHOOOOOOA! you doin it willits man.

Nice presentation of something that really looks set to change the paradigm of DJs morbidly glaring into laptops.

A couple of questions:

Is this easy to setup on the PC?
Does this work with the iPod Touch?
Has the equivalent been developed hooking up a Wii to Ableton?

BTW, a short review of this here:

willits rooooccccckz.

interesting and creative use of new technology. i love that stuff. although it might not be the most practical. if you have enough money to buy an iphone you probably have enough money to buy a cheap 49 key midi controller or midi drum pad that would be a lot easier to set up and do the same job. just wired instead of wireless.

I have to say, this video is almost useless for anyone who doesn't have a fairly advanced grasp of MAX/MSP. The entire process of how that obviously very complicated patch was created is completely glossed over as if it were just another simple step in the process of getting Touch OSC to control Ableton. It's almost like those bad drum instruction videos where Dave Weckl (or whoever) solos for 5 minutes, offers no meaningful instruction on what EXACTLY he just did, and then says "Cool! Yeah, so that's pretty much how you do that."
If you're going to make instructional videos on using MAX/MSP as a port for Touch OSC to control Ableton (which is already about 1 degree of removal too many for pretty much anyone who wants to easily incorporate this into a real world performance setting), then be A LOT more illustrative of exactly how you do that. Otherwise this is just a big nerdfest designed to make you look extra smart and cool and mustachioed. Oh wait.....

fyi, for those routes you showed you can just as easily use [route] - without ever downloading the CNMAT objects... this is really important, so I'll reiterate here:
MaxMSP *understands* OSC, and works fine with just route and udpreceive udpsend

This is an easy setup. Not complicated. if you've set up midi, you should have no problems with this.

@ Andreas

well, it's true that MaxMSP *understands* OSC and that you can work with the object [route], but it's much easier to work with the CNMAT objects. I created a very similar patch also for TouchOSC and there you have e.g. the problem that you can't route easily the multitoggle signals with [route], because some needed values are already integrated in the name: [/4/multitoggle/6/2 1.]
Well, there is a way to get to the values with [regexp], but then I prefer to do it from the very first with [OSC-route] from CNMAT, and then I don't have these problems.

@ Harry Covert
yes it also works with the ipod touch

OSCulator - an easier way to tranlsate OSC into midi.

OSCulator - an expensive way to translate OSC into MIDI when you can have it for free. I know, that there is a share-version of OSCulator, but this version interrupts again and again to remind you to buy the full version

i dont know if its your voice or your awful hairdo but you are not ment to be shown explaining things and making people want to vomit
