Wiimote in osculator

Antimon

Just tested Osculator with my Wiimote to the Nord Modular G2. It worked nicely! Very Happy

I'm attaching a sound sample and the patch I used for the Norders. While this is in no way impressive musically (I have never tried a Theremin or any non-discrete instrument, and I have only tested this for a a couple of minutes), it shows that if you have a Mac, a synth and a Wiimote (which I would guess is a great deal less costly than your average accelerometer based music controller), your possibilities for expression just upped quite a bit.

Most of all, it installed easily, and was configured easily once I understood that all you have to do is hold down 1 +2 while osculator starts. Oh, and they have support for the sensor bar as well, with a little bit of DIY soldering.

I noticed this in a post about Kyma in the Nord Wave topic. Don't be confused about all the talk about Kyma and OSC in osculator's homepage, it configures a MIDI device automatically that you can patch through MIDI Patchbay (http://pete.yandell.com/software/) or to a softsynth.

Maybe this topic should be posted in the "Mac as a DAW" section instead, but I figured it would be of interest to everyone to see that this is possible in a cheap user friendly app.

hi,

i'm trying to get a very similar setup to this working. however, i can't seem to get my G2 to receive any data.

-in OSCulator i have mapped the pitch from the wii-mote to midi cc 22.
-in the Modular Editor, i have the frequency for a lo pass filter set to midi cc 22

no responses in the Modular Editor.
are you piping data from OSCulator to a midi interface and then to the G2? how are routing the cc data from OSCulator to your midi interface?

any help is greatly appreciated

hi Blue Hell, thanks for the response.

an app called MIDI patchbay was what i was missing -- allowed me to route midi cc data from OSCulator to midi interface.
