Derek and Adam are the editors, so they set the tone.  I think it would be useful to have more in the chapter on MIDI, but also it would be useful to have a section on making a synth that is MIDI-controllable.

I made myself a user and uploaded the tutorial to

https://puredata.info/Members/fgadea/using-pd-with-a-midi-controller/at_download/file


I´m not able to add it to the FLOSS manual till next week (I belive I will have a few free days then).

Wouldn´t it be better if I include it in the "Controlling the synthesizer" chapter instead of the midi one?

I also managed to built a quite usefull adsr filter with the four parameters working, and I could make a tutorial for it in some weeks from now. I know that this things I´m doing are really basic stuff compared with the things one can do after reading the book in https://puredata.info/Members/puls/new%20Pd%20book%20released , which I find great.  Shouldn´t the floss manual refear to that book for further learning?

best to all

Well, then I will add it to the FLOSS manual in a few days when I got some free time again, and I will upload it to puredata.info probably this weekend if not tomorrow (thankyou Hans-Christoph for the tip). I would like to be shure that the english I used is correct but I guess that if it is not someone will fix it.

In the future I belive I will have to expand the tutorial adding information about the ctlout object, in order to show how to send back the midi data, something easy and really helpfull when working with motorized controllers or such (like the bitstream 3x named in the patch provided by Xose, which is not motorized but uses the midi feedback in order to avoid data jumps).

Looks nice, it would be great if you added it to the FLOSS manual.  You can just sign in and start editing.  It seems like it should be its own section in the "MIDI" chapter.

You could also host the file on puredata.info, just sign in and upload it to your folder.

I wrote a little tutorial about the ctlin object. It is quite simple, and as my born languaje is not english i hope there is no ortographic mistake.
You can download it from

http://rapidshare.com/files/224126003/pd_controller.zip.html

If you have any problem downloading it from rapidshare  (it is limited to 10 downloads) i´ll use my site, but I am having problems with it (luck of use) so I could send it directly to any interested.

As you will see there you´ll find the text in .odt and .pdf, along with the patches, in case you need to correct anything (if you want to use it for the FLOSS Pure Data manual).

Thank you again

Sounds like just the kind of tutorial we need in the Pd FLOSS Manual! Anybody want to write it?

As a fellow newbie, I know you problem. My method was to go the help
files for different midiinputs and see if turning the knobs did
trigger anything. The ctlin, as Andrew suggested, did work for one of
my controllers, but you could also try pgmin, midiin, notein etc.
As a sidenote, I just found out, that if you connect two different
controllers at the same time, the second one will be added 16 to it's
channel number.

Hi to all of you people. I´m new in the list, and quite a newbee in pd too.
I´ve been searching the web for explicit info and tuts for assigning
controls behaviour in pd to midi events coming from a midi controller (with
faders and such, not a keyboard) and I wander if you can tell me where that
info could be found, cause I found nothing clear about it, only some answers
to some problems, not really explicit.
I looked it up here in the list but I didn´t find it. (I´m not saying it is
not there.The answer could be under my own nose, so forgive me if I am not
aware of that)

Thank you
