MIDI in Flash // Director

[vandeti]

hi,

does anyone know how on earth I can get the midi-signal of my midi-keybord into flash (as a variable or something)

and if that's not possible
is there a way to get it in director ??



many many many help wanted
have been looking for this for about 10 months now
and I'm getting so tired .. think I'll sleep for a while now ..

mr vandetti,

I was at uni with a guy who claimed to have written a midi in thing for flash. I'll pm you his email address.

If he doesn't respond then xmidi (http://www.troikatronix.com/xmidi.html) by troikatronix allows you to get midi into director, its only for mac i'm afraid. If you search for xtras on google then you might find something for PC, but I've got a feeling they're pretty pricey.

good luck

dunno bout flash, there are xtras for director but I use the liberated version of mabry's midiio activex (these things work only on pc)

here's a flashserver for pd http://www.akustische-kunst.org/puredata/flash/flash.html ...but not a very good solution if you want ONLY midi ;)

cheers

depends.... u want just events or continous controllers?

for flash on pc:

on events u might succeed in converting
midi signals into buttonpresses:

the guys from www.vlight.to did amazing
things with an activex control analyzing audio and sending the results to their flash app, maybe there's an activex- control 4 midi, too... don't know 'bout that

[Anyone]

I use midiIO for Director...
do a search on goggle or macromedia,
theres bound to be a free download somewhere...

hi ..

I sterted testing the flash-application with the midi-translator from www.bome.com. And it does just what I was looking for. The only problem that I'm still having is the next ..
when you press a MIDI-key you send a value, but you've gor 100 values per key (it depends on how hard you toggle). But I only check for one value. so that doesn't work like I would like it to work. To only solution I can come accross with is using the value after you have pressed the key, that value is always 'key value, 00' in stead of 'key value, 0-100'

any one knows a solution for this probby ??



see ya and thanx for the help

are you talking about velocity? i'm pretty sure you can filter out the velocity (ie making every keypress have the same velocity) using midiox.

:confused:
