Audio&midi interaction

Posted by sercando on Sep 04, 2007

Hi!

Does anyone knows how to use midi or audio input for handling the composition?

Where could I find some code?,

Thanx a lot for this Incredible program

I've been looking around for the last two years for something with which we could handle audio input in Python/NodeBox.

The things I've found so far are PyMedia (only on PC), tkSnack (only with Tkinter), Core Audio (no Python bindings and scarce documentation), Boodler (requires more testing). So none of those are exactly what we need.

So there's still nothing robust enough that can handle audio from within NodeBox.

Hi,

Has there been any developments on the audio/midi side of things? I would much prefer to use NodeBox over Processing but this is essential for my needs! :(

Cheers!

It's not realtime, but I highly recommend Python Midi. It can read and write MIDI files, but not in realtime, and it can't play them. You could use it to make a visual, export it, and then use QuickTime Pro to combine the MIDI file and visual.

Great, i will have to look into that. Real time isn't quite as important as syncing so it sounds promising. Thanks for the info!
