Rui -- I Iove qmidinet and qmidictl!! (

)
Three feature requests, in order of seriousness and feasability:
(1) For us cheapskates, a way to run qmidictl on an O2 Joggler (worlds
cheapest control surface??)

(2) A way to allow for scripting betweeen qmidictl and qmidinet (or other
controllers plugging into qmidinet):
Also, one issue I've found w/ controllers in general is that there is a need
for a simple scripting language, or a comprehensive
set of "built-in special
functions" to handle "state" and "computation" in midi
controllers. Do
qmidictl or qmidinet have any solutions for this?
One quick example I ran into recently. I've setup
a very useful remote
control to a TC Electronics Finalizer. One of the features it has is a
MIDI-controlled "fader" (e.g. for doing smooth fadeouts/fadeins). I've got
that mapped to a 100MM slider on a behringer controller and it's SWEET. But
also, it's linear. What I need is to map the midi controllers 0-127 to a
logarithmic curve so as to match human loudness perception. This doesn't
seem possible in qmidiroute...
( fyi -- i'm looking into mididings because it allows scripting see

MindSet for Developers and Consumers
The NeuroSky MindSet headset is our first product
available to the public.
It is a brainwave interface headset with medical-grade data acquisition for
research or consumer use. It measures electrical impulses generated by
mental activity, and uses proprietary algorithms to calculate the observed
types of brain behavior. For consumer games and education, The MindSet makes
calculated brainwave levels and interpreted mental states (currently
“attention” and “meditation”) available as digital input for computers,
phones, software, and devices. There are currently over a dozen games and
educational applications available for download on our store. For
sophisticated developers, raw unfiltered brainwave measurements are
available through use of our SDK. In all cases, the data is fed to the
computer via wireless Bluetooth and includes both audio and voice support
for MP3 and VoIP.
Looks like a PD interface has already been made:

np_mindset is
an external for either Max/MSP or Puredata to receive
information from the Neurosky
Mindset. Portability of source between Max and Pd is available

PS: qxgedit has compelled me to spend $20 on a Yam SW-60XG (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200458972918 ) and $5.00
on the only Linux-compatible PCI card that still has a waveterminal header:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Ice1724#Dynex_DX-SC51 -- I'll let you
know how they work. (I'll probably need to add the additional controls for
the SW-60XG's analog input: http://www.studio4all.de/htmle/main96.html
