Here are the Max for Live objects for midi manipulation included in the ‘Tesser’ environment.

TesserAkt

Tesser_logo

The TesserAkt library is a collection of MaxForLive devices designed for real-time midi manipulation. These devices were developed in the context of the Fraktale Lab, within the artistic research project Atlas of Smooth Spaces (FWF 640) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

Dieses Werk wurde mit freundlicher Unterstützung des österreichischen Bundesministeriums für Kunst, Kultur, öffentlicher Dienst und Sport realisiert.

Tesser_block

This Patch is part of the TESSER environment.

TTESS:Logo

Tesser_block

This device allows to block selectively different kinds of midi data.

TESS:block

Usage

The settings can be stored with the device/set. They can also be automated.

Credits

This device is a derivative patch largely taken from AbletonDrummer's object.

To-Do

  • document device
  • Add feature to print in maxwindow specific kinds of cc input
  • Extended feature: block specific notes which are set using the gesture CC. This is practical, for example, if you are playing the keyboard and whant to block the area where the hands are from playing new notes, etc.

Tesser_AutoMidi

This Patch is part of the TESSER environment.

TTESS:Logo

Tesser_AutoMidi

This device is analogous to an autotune effect, only with midi. It takes midinotes and allows to substitute the entered midinote number and/or velocity with alternative CC values entered via CC86 and CC87.

TESS:automidi

Usage

Here is a full description of the functions associated to CC messages within the TESSER environment.

override pitch

The entered pitch will be substituted by the last entered CC86 value.

override velocity

The entered velocity will be substituted by the ;ast entered CC87 value.

auto AllNotesOff

When this toggle is on, a note off (vel = 0) will cause a 0 123 message to be sent to all 16 midi channels.

Use with clip3seq

The menu option trigger CC input with midinote is designed to trigger the notes entered via CC (usually CC86 for midi pitch), using the velocity of the midinote entered, for example, with a keyboard.

To-Do

  • document
  • how does a gesture gets stored, and then recalled one by one in a loop? The device should accept (and store) a gesture string, possibly via CC90
