Love this! In the photography community, we had MIDI2LR (MIDI to Lightroom) (https://rsjaffe.github.io/MIDI2LR/)
I used Behringer Xtouch Mini mapped to Lightroom. This allows tactile controls, and also lets you keep your eyes on the photo being edited, instead of the constant back and forth between the controls and the photo.
This is like vim pedal (https://github.com/foxweb/vim-pedal) on steroids. I love it.
Love it! Trying to use it with my nanoPAD2 and it only outputs `note_on` and `note_off` events. Can we bind on these? Example output:
22:56:38.740 note_on channel=1 note=36 velocity=89 [nanoPAD2 PAD]
I have one of these! And I almost made this exact thing myself! Love this thank you. PS would love a little UI for this if there isn't one already
I always thought using something like this for debugger shortcuts could be fun
This would be sick for video game keybinds!
This is dope. Would love to bring it to linux
I have something like this in linux using a novation launchcontrol, it's quite straightforward using aseqdump, say I use the buttons to switch desktops, I have this launched as part of my session and always in background. While developing this I just printed $line to see what aseqdump sent to figure out the regexes
while IFS=' ' read -r line; do
if [[ "$line" == *"client"*"Launch Control"\* ]]; then
device=$(echo "$line" | cut -d' ' -f2)
fi
done < <(aconnect -i)
aseqdump -p ${device::-1} | while IFS=' ' read -r line; do
if [[ "$line" == *"Note on"* ]]; then
note=$(echo "$line" | grep -o "note [0-9]*" | cut -d' ' -f2)
if [ "$note" == "9" ]; then
wmctrl -s 8
fi
elif [[ "$line" == *"Control change"*"127" ]]; then
note=$(echo "$line" | grep -o "controller [0-9]*" | cut -d' ' -f2)
if [ "$note" == "114" ]; then
# some macro
fi
fi
doneRepo is 2,500loc, all-in, according to SCC. Should be really easy to point your favorite coding agent at the repo and have it one or two shot something similiar in the language of your choice.
