I would love this as an AUv3 for iPadOS, any plans?
bepitulaz · 2 months ago
There's a plan for iOS and iPadOS. Thanks for the suggestions, I will try exploring AUv3 when building it.

I wonder if Linux version will be available.
bepitulaz · 2 months ago
Since I developed it using Vision framework from Apple, the current focus is still for Apple devices. So, not in the near future to develop for Linux and Windows.

Seems like the same software could be used as a soundtrack for Tai Chi exercises. Would be pretty neat.

It seems possible, since Apple’s Vision framework can read body pose too. Maybe I can try it for the next update.

That looks great!

Do you have any suggestion for how to learn how to hook this up to Logic for anyone who hasn’t used midi before?

I wonder how this would perform under live stage lighting conditions, i.e coloured strong lights and high contrast.

Open the app and open Logic Pro. Create a MIDI track on Logic, try waving to the app it should automatically receive MIDI message from all channels and all MIDI devices.

Then if you want to filter the track to receive specific MIDI channel from specific device, for example AirBending channel 2, then find it in the dropdown in the MIDI inspector section in the same MIDI track.

Great work but wouldn't the iPhone with the lidar depth sensor be a better device?
bepitulaz · 2 months ago
It’s on the plan to expand this app for iPhone. But, I haven’t tried lidar, so I decided to release for macOS first.

Also with iPhone, I have to think how to transmit MIDI data to DAW on laptop. Well, most likely via USB or network.

Random idea: hook an LLM up that knows how to write spreadsheet formulas ;)
bepitulaz · 2 years ago
Good idea to try!

As someone who enjoys flow based programming, thinking out the box and shifting the paradigm is what we should be doing.

Using Google sheets to make music might the right interface for some to make music and be creative.

It opens the possibility of taking business plans and making music from them!

bepitulaz · 2 years ago
With Web Audio API, it would be possible to convert any number inside Sheets as a frequency or note to control the oscillator and effects, and make music. So, yes, a lot of creative possibilities.
