MIDI Kinetics Forum

Hi everyone,

It is possible to control or change the XY position of the objects via MIDI or OSC?

greetings from berlin,

that would be so cool …
I change the instrument plug-in with Mackie Control setup and the Lemur objects change their position to get different synthesizer faces !?
This would save a lot of CPU and FPS.

straightforward.

Object size and position is determined by the rect attribute.
So - objRect = getattribute(obj, 'rect');
Set the x, y positions as you want (objRect[0] and objRect[1] in this example) then call
setattribute(obj, 'rect', objRect);

and the object will move.

You'll need a script to read and translate incoming MIDI CCs (for example) that you can use to send new positions.

To test, set up a fader or knob to control the X or Y and have a script in it to modify the position of another object.

Hello Oldgearguy,

You have an example patch for me, which I can orient myself, how to do it.

Thank you for your help, i have built the example

Second example ...

Glad you were able to work it out. Many of us do not spend a lot of time constantly checking on the Lemur forums. Also, we are often busy with other things and do not always have a lot of time to create examples.

The best approach is to do what you did -- ask the question, (hopefully) get some hints/guides/examples and then try to work it out yourself. No one knows your application better than you do, so you will know exactly how the pieces fit together.

When I have time and access to a Lemur environment, I will post examples, but I thought a quick set of notes was better than not helping at all.

my Diva Lemur template makes use of this technique. Both the Diva GUI changes and the Lemur template are synchronised.
