FingerPlay MIDI version 0.9

flat20 — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 12:01:04 +0000

Version 0.9 of FingerPlay MIDI adds a few more options for each MIDI controller in the layout XML file. You can now set whether it should send note presses or controller changes and which channel and controller number it sends it on. I’ve added some comments to the default XML file which I hope is enough to get everyone started.

There’s also basic support for the Android hardware sensors courtesy of Matias Wilkman, but because they’re still very much work-in-progress they’re not enabled by default. If you want to try them out just uncomment the last screen in the default XML file.

Please let me know if there are any problems with this new version, I’m flat20 on Twitter.

FingerPlay MIDI controlled robot

Arduino + Fingerplay MIDI from Guus Baggermans on Vimeo.

Did some googling and came across this video by Guus Baggermans. He is using FingerPlay as input for a robot on his desktop. I’m not exactly sure of the details but I think the robot is Arduino based and he must have modified the FingerPlay source code because he’s using the gyroscope for input.

If you’ve made anything cool with FingerPlay MIDI then please let me know – I love hearing about people using it.

FingerPlay Youtube Demonstration

I should have done a video showing off my Android application FingerPlay MIDI myself, but I simply haven’t had the time for it yet. Luckily Mooreshire did it instead, which leaves me with more time to fix bugs. So a big thanks to him for posting this quick demo!
