Control Center

This gem provides Ruby interfaces for programmatically interacting with various MIDI controllers.

Where appropriate this includes setting LEDs and responding to input events.

Supported Devices

• Novation Launchpad, Mark 2 (the one with RGB support)
• Numark Orbit
  • At present you need to use the Numark Orbit Editor to send a specific mapping to the device, and setting of LEDs doesn't work.
  • See mappings/Orbit_Preset.json for the preset to use with Numark Orbit Editor.
• TouchOSC Bridge
  • At the moment only the Device interface is implemented, and you can either consume the input raw, or apply a mapping function of your own.

Requirements

• Roger B. Dannenberg's (portmidi library)[http://sourceforge.net/projects/portmedia/]
• Jan Krutisch's (portmidi gem)[http://github.com/halfbyte/portmidi]

Compatibility

The gem is known to be compatible with the following ruby versions:

• MRI 2.2.3

Usage

To be written. In the meantime, see the examples directory.

Future plans

• Support for more control surfaces.
• Improve efficiency wrt memory allocations.
• Support for setting up Numark Orbit button mappings.
• Support for setting LEDs on Numark Orbit.
• Expanded support for Novation Launchpad features (blinking/pulsing, etc)
• Test suite.
• Normalize message structures across devices a bit.
• Interaction class for Orbit, or ditch the Interaction class entirely.
