Demultiplex osculator Patch#

The main problem im having is that I need Max/MSP to read the idividual pins (they can be triggers for samples) on the mux, but everytime the arduino is reset the position of the pins has changed in Max. I'm a newcomer to the arduino and i've had a decent shot at your example. The idea will be that the user can place a box over the LDR or infact block the LED to the LDR with their body and it triggers certain drum samples. I will be eventually creating a 4 track 8 beats drum machine using LDRs. I seem to have hit a brick wall with my project atm. i am assuming you have used a resistor as the second half to balance out each LDR as a voltage divider? cheers! Hi Andres, Thanks so much for your comment, i really appreciate it. Now I´m trying to replace the pots with ldr and all the readings in max went crazy. Hi Sebastian! I´m a musician from Argentina, and I´m starting up with arduino and Max. in fact, you could simply format all your data as MIDI and then use MIDI parse, which might be an easier way to do this. To then use that data for MIDI you could then run it through 'zl filter 176' and then to 'midiformat' and finally 'midiout'. For example if you programmed Arduino to send MIDI CC messages every time the value of a pot changed then you could use 'match 176 nn nn' and which would always grab a correct 3 byte message starting with the status byte. Instead of using a request byte you could format your data and use the 'match' Max object. Note that I have only connected one pot, because i only had one pot on hand at the time of writing this.

Here you can see a most basic patch to receive the data. The following connections should be made: In other words, the patch must be started and then the Arduino must be reset (along with the zl group object) in order to really circumvent the issue of which byte corresponds to channel 1 of the first multiplexer.īut hey, this is just a quick little demo, yeah? Additional features can be easily added to this example without too much strain. Obviously, this is a 'barebones' example - if one was to actually implement this, a good idea might be to at least incorporate some sort of request byte from the host computer for each packet of 16 bytes received from the Arduino. It should be noted that i have breadboarded and tested this method.

This a little demonstration of how to read up to 16 analog devices into the Arduino multiplexers using 2 analog input pins and 3 digital output pins (plus RX and TX pins for serial transmission). The aim of this post is to address a query by the user 'Boli' (see the comments page of the post ' Arduino MIDI out example').
