mobeets / miditouchpad Goto Github PK

What this does: Lets you use your mac's trackpad as a midi controller.

0. Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
1. Open up GarageBand or Logic with a Software Instrument track
2. cd miditouchpad and then run python play.py and drag your finger along the trackpad

The default MidiPad maps the x-position on your trackpad to notes, and the y-position to velocity (loudness). It also has a few options for specifying exactly which notes are played:

• Play notes in D major: python play.py --notes D
• Play notes in F# minor: python play.py --notes f#
• Change which octaves are included: python play.py --octaves 4
• Change the latency: python play.py --latency 0.3
