Hi
I'm trying to do something with MIDI and I'm wondering if pd is the right tool. Ideally, I'd generate a source file with midi instructions in it and then pd would 'realize' it. I am a programmer, so I don't mind writing code [but I can't imagine I'm the first person to want something like this].
Or maybe pd can do it all [put data in an array and manipulate it with pd objects] so I wouldn't need the generated source file. The kinds of manipulation I'd do have to do with changing the tone color [instrument], tempo changes, tuning manipulation [weird in midi, I know], pitch material modification.
My needs are pretty minimal- ony 4 channels, nothing too fast or too slow. Maybe my description is too generic, but if anyone has any ideas or pointers [or questions], please send them out.
