Keyboard interface?
Mar 25th, 2008, 6:24am  
Hey all! I'm an interactive multimedia major in college, and I am just starting a new project. I am very interested in keyboard interfaces, and I am researching others' experiences. I want to teach a synthesizer keyboard to talk to Processing, so that playing specific notes, minor or major chords, etc. will cause a text-based reaction within Processing, reflecting the mood/pitch/volume of what was just played in the form of poetry, sentences, or simple words.

I would appreciate any advice, ideas, input, ANYTHING! It would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks! - Anna

This question would be better suited for the "sound, music" forum I think..

Anyhow, you should look at the proMidi library.  With that library you can detect note on and off events which should be enough to implement what you're describing.  You'll need to decide how to interpret the notes to generate the text though, which will probably be more challenging than getting the keyboard working with processing.
