another way would be to use midi directly from the reacTIVision application. In the midi xml file you can define what data goes where, depending also on the fiducial. It is fairly easy to define which fiducial outputs midi 'knob data' to which channel. Then to receive this in Reaktor in Windows does require something like midiyoke. In linux jack and qjackctl are great for this purpose.

I was able to use the reactivision software to control parameters in Pure Data, but i want to achieve this internally in Live using Max4Live . So far i've been able to register the TUIO messages in the m4l patch, but it doesn't differentiate between fiducials. I get errors that state "$ variable out of range" and "extra argument", but the objects i'm using [send $1-tuioObjectAlive 0] were copied from the TUIO dispatcher maxpatch that the reactivision folks provide on their site.

I realize that the problem may come from the difference between Pd and max, and the fact that Pd uses a message box to send out [$2-tuioObjectAlive 0] and max uses the [send] object.

Any suggestions?

P.S. Ultimately, the goal is to map the fiducials to the control knobs on Reaktor's skrewell so it would go like reactivision>M4L>Reaktor instead of having to do reactivision>Pd>midiyoke>Reaktor, or is this the longer way around?

P.P.S. I'm on Windows 7.
