Many thanks to Laura Ferro for the choreography and Lee for her Chinese folk and Tai Chi dance. As well as the other dancers at Faculdade de Motricidade Humana for inspiring me with their movements in front of the camera.
Happy to announce a download that I’m sure will please some
“UDP Ableton Device Control” reads from a UDP port and mapps OSC messages to a device inside Ableton Live. It is unique in that it can accept any kind of OSC input and quickly assign it to parameters on the device attached to it. You can also have multiple versions of the same device on various tracks. All you have to do is drag “UDP Ableton Device Control” into a track and add any effect to it’s right. Works with any kind of interface that sends OSC, and mac or windows.
