Reactive Backing
Hi, I am a Music Tech Lecturer and new hardware/software developer based in the North of England.
I recieved a metawear C module last year as part of the original kickstarter, as this seems perfect for my needs.
The project in am working on is a system of reactive backing, so that a backing track follows the musician. The current proof of concept is a wiimote nunchuk accelerometer modded into an enclosure and strapped to a shoe connected to a mac via a third party software called OSCulator. This then sends OSC data to a Max for Live Patch this figures out foot taps and changes the tempo of the Digital Audio Workstation Ableton Live. I demo'd the system at the Innovation in Music conference last year and had some very encouraging feedback.
I am now looking to source the hardware and program the software to develop this into vst and au plugins (probably using the JUCE or IPlug C++ libraries)
The metawear modules look very encouraging, but I need to be able to create reliable and cross platform desktop/laptop connection software that would hopefully form part of the plugin(s)
I hope that you can help me, my programming skills have been limited to very high level stuff like Cycling 74's Max, but I am willing to learn.
Hope that you can help!
