The second is more of a utility item, an application which can simply parse the Leap Motion and gestural data and allow it to be used as MIDI input or control for any desired audio plug-ins or hardware instruments. performers to manipulate Leap Motion Theremins, which. The first is a standalone synthesiser, also written in Max MSP, using very much of the same principles to shape audio. Later came the addition of the pitch matrix which allowed performing on three dimensions. Max/MSP abstraction for analysing audio signals and ranking the resultant partials according to.
we now have an amazing technology - Leap Motion. MAX/MSP has been around for a number of years and is a favorite among transmedia artists. Named with tongue in cheek because it was like a Theremin but more so. MAX/MSP the flagship product of Cycling74 sports a slick dataflow process for hooking up multimedia elements everything from sound generation to video manipulation. Max/MSP, SuperCollider, and others with hand gestures, web programming.
Why is it called a 'Microtone 3D Theremax'? Make Art and Music with Leap Motion is a 3-week ONLINE course on how to use the. That said, it is instantly accessible for anyone to start having fun with. Like any instrument, it takes time to learn and understand its nuances before it can be truly mastered. The pitch matrix allows very unique and often unpredictable melodies. Uses gestural input from a Leap Motion controller to trigger chord progressions and vocoder parameters via MAX/MSP. It also features a unique configurable pitch matrix which gives the user the opportunity to perform melodic note progressions in any dimension. Discussed implementations include a 5-grain granular synthesizer created in Max/MSP that connects to the Leap Motion, allowing users to trigger individual grains using finger and hand motion. There are a number of performance related controls not connected to gestures which include a subtractive synthesizer, note glide, user savable presets, delay effect, selectable musical modes, selectable key, and a note range slider.
All controllable from a single hand, and all independently for the left and right hands.
