See you!

The controller example is quite simple, and as such very easy to recreate! I could email you the max patch of course, but it offers nothing different from what you would quickly patch together yourself!

I use the CNMAT OpenSoundControl max external for sending OSC messages, if you download that you are good to go just by modifying the examples included with the max external.

I have emailed you the patch for my max external nonetheless.

Hope this helps!

One question: I open the Max controller for Mac you’ve included. But i can’t edit it (in order to adapt it to my needs). Am I doing something wrong? Or I really have to rewrite all the objects/messsages that will allow Max to communicate with Mother?

Thank you!

If you just get a black screen that means everything is ready!

A gray one means Mother’s crashed

So I imagine the only issue you may be having is getting the OSC bit working.

Have you tried downloading oscP5 and running the examples in that? Perhaps also trying to send OSC from somewhere else to your OSCP5 Programs? For example from Max/MSP, pure data, touch OSC, etc…

Often firewalls block OSC traffic for example, so your issue could just be that.

Hope you work it out!

I’ve never actually used a video library with processing, let alone on a layer of Mother, so I don’t know how it could be made to work. There is no reason it shouldn’t be possible though!

I imagine that some hacking may be necessary to get it to work, lust as was the case for glgraphics: I had to make special provision in Mother for glgraphics support to work.

What I can assist you with if you like, is an eclipse project for Mother, so that you do not have to set it up yourself from the source code repository.

I’d also gladly send you some example code demonstrating the use of glGraphics in a Mother synth.

Let me know and I will email you either or both!

I encounter some problems though. I need to use some external libraries like ocd, glgraphics, and some other ones. I tried to use ocd (lib for camera management) and it makes mother freeze.. Then I tried other cam lib like (PeasyCam and ProScene), but it doesnt work too. Is there a constraint that I didn’t read about it?

About glgraphics, i saw in your video examples that you’re using it (especially the offscreen buffer technique). I tried it, but it doesnt blend with other synths… am I doing somthing wrong there?

Thanks!

Sorry if I cannot look into it better at the moment, I’m in the middle of relocating to a new country. I should be done in a week or two though, and will have a better look at the questions I’ve gotten on Mother after that.

In the meantime, make sure you are using the pure data extended version, as that is the one that the controller example has been used with.

Your problem should be simple to solve, as it entails sending OSC messages using PD, which is an often used and well documented feature, so you should be nearly there
