Simulating key presses
Apr 5th, 2008, 7:56pm  
Hello, I am trying to get a Processing sketch to interact with Ableton Live via key presses. Ableton is set up to listen to input from the keyboard and I want Processing to send certain key strokes depending on what the user does to the Processing sketch.

I can't find a simple processing command for this. Will I have to use low-level Java stuff like Robot? Or would using MIDI possibly be easier?

you'll have to use Java, but it looks pretty simple,

does that help?

Thank you, that's what I've done and it works fine. For the record, it seems to be much easier to interact with Ableton this way than with MIDI.
